gollark: Rust's really nice but I don't actually want to care about lifetimes all the time, and the compiler is slow. Python is very fast for me to prototype with but not very robust. JS is the same but slightly worse, and I only use it because web platform. ML-family things could be cool but have bad tooling and libraries.
