I came across a good interview question today: I'd love to hear people's answers.
"Name your favourite language (for whatever reason) and also your desert island language - the one you'd choose if you were only to have that to play with for the foreseeable future."
Who wants to start?
Harald Hoyer
@haraldh
I haven't given a name to the language I will invent :)
_
also naming is hard :)
Mike Bursell
@MikeCamel
Name as in "list". But if you plan to invent one for the desert island, that's kind of OK. For your favourite, @haraldh ?
Harald Hoyer
@haraldh
yeah yeah
Mike Bursell
@MikeCamel
Me - favourite == Java; desert island == Rust
I've not had any chance to look at Rust, but it seems to tick lots of boxes, and I'd have something to get my teeth into.
Harald Hoyer
@haraldh
rust, rust
Lily Sturmann
@lkatalin
I think Rust is going to be popular in our group... I'd probably also pick Rust for both. If I could add a second one just for fun then maybe OCaml or VHDL... just to have something different
@MikeCamel Can't believe you didn't choose Perl!
Mike Bursell
@MikeCamel
@lkatalin - and you get the prize. Wondered how long that would take...

@connorkuehl
My favorite (why is Gitter trying to correct this to the British English spelling?) programming language is Rust. If I was trapped on a desert island, I would probably build everything in C.
Nathaniel McCallum
@npmccallum
Rust and C/C++ for me.
Robbie Harwood
@frozencemetery
favorite: haskell, desert island: C

ugh, when i finally realize that my checkout of the microkernel was unpatched for yesterday evening and this morning and wasn't using my version of vmsyscalls for the past like 10 commits https://media.giphy.com/media/ToMjGpIYtgvMP38WTFC/giphy.gif
"wow, i can't believe these changes aren't breaking the microkernel build"

i read this before seeing the actual gif. It made re-reading it even more humorous
