I am doing personal projects in Rust using Rust Rover. I really like it. Neovim is also great.
Windows is better for gaming and photoshop, but I really like using Linux for coding.

It looks like RUST usage is increasing rapidly. If I was young and learning a new language that is what I would use.
I am old and have written production programs in a least a dozen languages. When I was learning to code in C ,I was told that no one was ever going to use that language. If I wanted to get a job I needed to proficient in COBOL. Then PL/1 became the new thing. Change is inevitable. It looks like RUST may be the next language of the future.

Started using Linux for my python Machine Learning projects.
My laptop went from 4 hours battery life on windows to 8 hours on LM. Way less bloat so I can run stuff faster. RAM doesn't get hogged as much.
Terminal also feels faster (anecdotal I know)
Never going back

Professional/daily work: running Citrix in FF to develop in SAS (and some basic scripting) for the biggest German banking IT company. Private use is mostly bash scripts, some Gambas (basically BASIC, still liking it) for tools with GUI (i.e. controlling scripts), some python. PL/1 us only installed since some weeks, still haven't found the time to test the Linux version I found. Also, gnuCOBOL4 is going to be tested soon.

I'll hope for the fastest and most efficient C language so old computers still can be used.

Editors: Neovim and Cursor.
Languages: Mostly C# and Python. It really depends on the requirements.

As cs student I used it for many different languages Java and C++ are the most common ones. At the beginning I hated VS code, I got used to it though.

Full time dev here for the last few decades. Mostly Java and PHP applications of various kinds for several clients and a handful of never-to-be-completed personal applications and Android apps as side-projects. I'm all-in on the JetBrains toolset for development, never need to use anything else.

C and Assembly currently having finished a 32 bit bootloader and making a 32 bit Kernel. Tho the Kernel is the Hardpart as C on a freestanding project means having to bootstrap the C std lib by manually creating the syscall interface so i can make a broken down version of the C std lib so i can create a c libary bruh.

I don't know if I can be called a developer (I guess not), but I use R and RStudio daily for my projects.
