Ask HN: What programming language you use the most at work?

Our application is written using C# and the database uses T-SQL. That being said, I probably spend 80% of all my dev time in SSMS rather than Visual Studio. Despite there being far more functionality implemented in C#.

Using Python and R mostly

Not a dev but working closely with devs in the company so I feel a bit more dev than what I saw before.

Especially when it comes to rubber duck debugging

At my dayjob? Java for REST services, Python for Machine Learning.

For my side-project? Groovy mainly, and some Java for backend / service development. Javascript for front-end development.

Academia is weird. I’ve gotten unfortunately good at R. To the point where I’m frequently building on a full R stack.

Luckily the skills translate well to Python/JavaScript, which is where I’m heading once I’m out of academia.
