What’s the programming language that you use most?
I see a bunch of surveys out there around the “most popular” programming language with drastically differing results depending on the dev audience that was surveyed (which I would expect). This made me curious as to the most popular languages for developer using Solace.
I don’t think I can do a “multi-select” poll so please choose your most used language and let us know in comments below what might be second or third if you have other languages you enjoy using

If I’m given the option and the availability, I would sooooo go for Fortran. Such an elegant programming language!
On a not so serious note, my second go to is Python. thread management is obviously better than JavaScript and I enjoy the rapid prototyping and speed of development with it.
@uherbst that’s true, we dont have a Perl API for native support, however since MQTT is an open protocol you can use Perl MQTT and connect to a solace broker and carry on any of the basic pub/sub interactions! This could be a cool “When Perl and Pub/Sub meet” blog + codelab if you want to a do one! ?
Used to be q when I was working with storing tick data in kdb+. Then, I moved to python at a different company which allowed me to build data pipelines, perform data analysis, and build a data quality framework. Now, in my current role at Solace, it is Java.

Perl… BUT: Not the best support for pub/sub with solace brokers
I had to pick up Perl once and it was painful since most of my tasks were data related. Python is a much better alternative.
It’s probably just a case of what you’re used to. If you’re working with text, Perl is pretty amazing.
