Yes. Personally I think favorite languages and kinds of development are kind of personal. There are people that just love C and assembler for example. I have done both and there are aspects of it that I like too. On the other hand my sensibilities are more of an application programmer. I never liked Pascal but there was one Pascal discipline that I always strongly identified with and that was that code should look like what it does and that one should only optimize when needed as it tends to take developer time and destroy readability. On the other hand I have known C programmers that love the ability to write compact stuff in C that is almost unreadable. I relate to that some too in that I can be a lot of fun to optimize a piece of code but it is not what drives me. Not saying what your sensibilities have to be… just giving an example.

For what it is worth, for me, my favorite languages over the years have been Fortran, PL/I, and Python. And I will add C to it for its ability to integrate well with the OS and platform, and do anything especially low level and fast. Especially true on Linux. I do not do Fortran or PL/I any more that is just history. I am a Python and C guy really now. I would like to look into Rust at some point also.
