I want to spend more time with:

I'm curious about why you don't like LISP and why you have extremely complex feelings about Rust.

@lulu Lisp: My quippy answer is that I prefer π-calculus to λ-calculus.
The actual answer is more like: Too many bad experiences with weird dialects (AutoLISP?) and/or being forced to use it. Also in most cases I'd rather work in something ML derived. It generally feels, to me, like I'm taking three steps backwards in language history but without seeing significant benefit for doing so.
Rust: async feels like climbing K2 and my experience w/ the community has historically been a mixed bag.

@hrefna JS/Typescript?
I’ll take it Rego qualifies as close enough to prolog for a soft spot position
-
@anderseknert lol, yep. Kind of like how I group the ML-based languages into one group and the lisps into one group.
JS/Typescript would make the list but I ran out of space and no one ever, ever asks me to program in it more than once.

@anderseknert @hrefna I'm not sure if "Rego is like Prolog" is the marketing message you consider it to be

@tymwol @anderseknert Hey, that's the marketing message that originally got me into Erlang
