I want to distinguish between the hype and the real world.

Which ones aren't we using?
I get the "opportunity" to be a shitty developer in multiple languages all at the same time - Python, Scala, Angular, and Java, to name a few main ones.
All these people naming just one language (or even 2) are making me jealous. I'd probably be less shitty if I got to focus.

I have to interact with a platform called Mulesoft which has its own DSL for message transformation.
It's an API interconnection tool. It's for big organizations or governments and if anybody here on HN is considering it I cannot express how bad the DX is for engineers unfortunate enough to be saddled with this "enterprise solution"

I use mostly .net/c#, lots of sql, some JavaScript/jquery. Keep in mind though that asking this on HackerNews (or any website to be honest) is automatically not representative of the real world. Vast majority of programmers I’ve met or worked with just did their jobs and go home while paying very little attention to trends, niches, or programming communities.

Typescript, both front and back end with SvelteKit. There are silly foot guns in JavaScript and I wish the language was designed better, but aside from that there’s huge benefit to doing everything in one language and not having to context switch. My validation logic and data types are identical across front and back end, that’s hard to beat for me. I’m building a traditional business ERP and Node is plenty fast for that.

I'm currently using: C, C++, ARM assembly, some Python, and some C#.

It really depends,
1. I'm currently using Scala and Java. I am pretty new to Scala and I haven't really used it or worked with that language but have to learn it since our product is built using Scala

Java and Javascript. By Javascript, I mean in the browser and NodeJS. I am trying to get approval to switch to Deno. They are willing to use Rust 'someday', but so far we aren't.

"Whichever the legacy code was written in" is going to be the overarching answer.
Python and Node are usually the choice for newer web facing stuff, which is the majority of cs work these days.

JavaScript (for both React and Express) is all I use for work, unless you want to count HTML/CSS.
For personal projects I also use Swift and sometimes Python/GDScript.

Objective C. Why yes, I do work at Apple...
