Coding Polyglot

Learning about the history and characteristics of programming languages is fascinating to me. I enjoy learning about the similarities and differences between languages, and how certain languages excel at different things. There are so many languages available that it can be difficult to choose which ones to sink time into. One of the cool things about programming is that the semantics are more important that the syntax. This means having strong fundamentals can make it easier to jump from language to language. Currently, the language I enjoy using the most would be C#. I like the language because I feel it is versatile. I do like the statically typed nature of the language as well, which helps reduce the risk of errors at runtime. C# also has phenomenal support and documentation. It being part of the Microsoft environment also makes it a safe choice for the job market. I also find using Python to be enjoyable, having used the language to solve problems in Codewars. I also had a class back in college using PHP, and I enjoyed it; I hope to revisit the language someday. There are programming languages that I look forward to trying in the future. I desire to learn a language that is not as well-known as some other languages. I think this would be a unique and exciting challenge. The language I want to try is Crystal. What interests me about Crystal is its Ruby-like syntax (another language I want to try more), and it's statically typed, similar to the C languages and Java. Their slogan is that Crystal is a language "for humans and computers," which sounds terrific. Another language that piques my interest would be the Pony programming language. The languages appears to take a unique approach to certain aspects of coding, so I think it could be an excellent learning experience.
