Favorite Code to use?

Mine is Python.
Useful for bots and to make site take-down.
I'm assuming with "code" you mean "programming language"?

I gotta admit I haven't worked with too terribly many programming languages throughout my life, and between the ones I've worked with I'm of course slightly biased towards the ones I have most experience with. That being said, I do like C++, C# and Ruby. Not a big fan of Lua, despite some of its benefits. Really used to love Free Pascal years ago, but I haven't worked with it in a long time and don't know if I'd still love it today.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
I'm ashamed to say... I like PHP. It's not designed sensibly at all, and more or less limited to websites, but I can get things done.

Python is great as well! I've recently learned it at university. It's really flexible and useful, and the syntax is pretty nice.

I really want to like Go (Golang?) as well, but I haven't actually used it for much.


 
My favorite programming language would probably be Python, since it's very easy to create a prototype of something in it and then port it to a language more appropriate for the task. For me, the more appropriate language will probably be C++ for desktop apps (although I haven't done anything with a GUI, I'd probably use Qt for that). For web stuff I use PHP, but I can't really say I like it. I've also used Java in the past, it's quite a nice language IMO but I don't like the fact that you need both a compiler and a runtime executable (I understand that C++ technically needs a runtime too but at least it's possible to statically link it).

I'd also like to learn Rust, Ruby and Go at some point (approximately in that order), but I'm too lazy. Rust because a few people are writing Interesting SMW-Related Projects™ (mostly assemblers TBH) with it, and it also has cool ideas. Ruby because I've seen a few large projects written in it, and also its syntax looks interesting. Idk why I have Go on that list even, I guess it looks interesting too.

(also that "making site take-down" better be a joke, and even if it is it's not a very good one)
Are you ready for shame? My favorite programming languages are JavaScript (but only ES2015+) and PHP (but only 7+). I like them equally well for all kinds of projects. To be honest, a lot of the general hatred for them comes from people who either can't use them well or haven't used them in years and just don't know how much better they have become. I do admit that they make it easy to write really bad code but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad, you just have to be a little more careful. Some people judge me for it but my honest opinion is that a tool is only as good as its master.

Apart from those, I like Java quite a bit in spite of its verbosity. It's my go-to language for GUI development and similar really big projects.

In the future, I definitely would like to look into properly learning C (I can easily understand C code but I can't write it), Go, C#, and Python (in no particular order). Python especially looks really convenient and I'm honestly not too sure why I prefer JavaScript.
I'm currently stuck only knowing JavaScript (because effort™) so I guess that's what I choose. I like it when it's used simply because I think it can be quite efficient and easy to understand, and I heavily dislike it when it's abused to hell or when it's not implemented properly (looking at you Internet Explorer). It's usually not too difficult to debug problems with it too. console.log() and debugger, you have my eternal thanks.

But I wanted to learn server-side languages as well, like PHP+MySQL, or node.js+MongoDB. Then there's also C and C++ which would be interesting for making programs, and Python which would just be cool to learn on its own even if I didn't really have a purpose for it.

Overall, there's still a lot I need to learn.
Between the few I know (ASM, PHP, Python/GDScript (very similar syntax but Python is much more flexible), JS, C++) (in order of me learning them), I actually like JS the most in how it works, with Python right behind and everything else kinda just exists.

Though it's worth noting that all the JS I do is either through jQuery or Node, which means I rarely have to actually fight with browser inconsistencies. JS really just needs a better standard library and to have more than one number type.
Your layout has been removed.
This is actually an interesting topic, but that "good for site take-down" comment makes me kinda uncomfortable.
Expect little to nothing from me for now.

Player graphics are the only thing I do right, so come tell me to make one you want.

Go to my profile for more trash of mine.
I really like Crystal, it's still in development but it really feels like the future of programming.

I mean, it is quite fast (almost as C) and the syntax is simple and beautiful (almost as Ruby).

I hope I can use it as one of my main programming languages in the next 3-5 years.

Current project: working on a personal website and a portfolio.

We have quite different language choices lol
But I have to agree, PHP isn't nearly as bad as I imagined after having not used it for a few years.

It definitely looks very interesting. Added to my list of languages I'd like to learn (but I assume once I learn Ruby, Crystal will be quite easy).
ASM, just because I'm most familiar with it. I know some C, but I understand ASM better.
JavaScript, because it has better cross-platform capacity (desktop, mobile and server) and can be run with browser or Node.js. I would prefer the ES2015+ standard, but also comfortable with writing my own ES5 code.

While people complain stuff like the weak equal operator == and "magical" type transition, I would avoid them easily with following other people's best practises, like Airbnb's JavaScript coding style. So, these issues would not made me pain, unless I trying to modify other's JavaScript code at some point.

I also have some knowledge with PHP and C. Currently I am learning Java, since many IT company in China is still using Java and other "classical" programming languages for backend and mobile applications. I want to get broader career choices to make a living, though it does seems to be a big problem in short period, since the Frontend Engineering is also developing rapidly here.
