gollark: I'm also not very *good* at it, so the only thing I used it for was my 100-line-or-so music player thing.

gollark: Well, it has a nice type system, is fast, supports parallelism well, has the cool ownership thing for memory safety, and has good libraries.

gollark: Rust (it's neat, but kind of irritating to work with), Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, kind of occasionally Haskell, F#.

gollark: Personally, I use JS quite a lot, for serverside applications and some client-side stuff on my website.

gollark: The PPTX format is just zipped XML or something, and you could directly edit the XML.
