C# (.Net Core) MVC w/web languages (JS/TypeScript/etc).

The other replies, at the time of posting, don't match my experience with the local job market/postings.

Web development outpaces other jobs by a significant margin, then mobile app development, and finally everything else. But most replies are niche academic or desktop development languages. It feels like self-selection bias, wherein people with "boring" jobs skip posting and people doing interesting/unusual things want to post.

The fact that Java has zero replies so far, speaks to something unusual going on.

Smalltalk and JavaScript

Smalltalk? Interesting! May I ask what industry / product area you work in?

Telecomunications.

And a personal project too.

Mine is a dockerized Pharo that I deploy it as a microservice in Elasticbeanstalk (so it scales up/down and autoheals nicely). It's 2 smalltalk backends, plus one microservice which depends in one javascript microservice for one feature. The only reason for that nodejs microservice was firebase-auth. The NPM package was already available there so it made sense to just use that one. The rest is all good from Pharo.

And the frontend begun with react but I've switched to Svelte. I'm enjoying Svelte's clean concepts a lot!

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#.

Since you spend a lot of your time in SSMS, I would encourage you to take a look at SqlDbx. It's a really helpful tool and boosts productivity in very noticeable ways. I'm in no way affiliated with them. Just a happy user.
