Re: "Whats your current favorite language?"
Lisp user and an active s/Lisp user.
If you are going to learn Lisp I recommend you to start from MIT opencourse https://yt.artemislena.eu/playlist?list=PLE18841CABEA24090 or if you prefer to read the book, the course is bas'd upon https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/books_pres_0/6515/sicp.zip/index.html

Mine is Julia, very natural and fast.

spoken honestly? Powershell. It's what I've written professionally and as a hobby for like 10 years, and I've had codebases sprawling into the thousands of lines. It's the one I can pull out of my head on demand and get a small POC working in the CLI, and then refine it down to modules with proper structure later.
I've written and delivered a handful of projects with Python. I enjoy how dumb simple and flexible it can be, and the database drivers are sane.
I did a small program in Rust for batch-processing OCR requests. Fastest, snappiest program I ever wrote. Accurate too, with Tesseract.
Clojure is my only real voyage into lisp and most "functional-focused" languages. I like it somewhat.

Whats your current favorite language? — Mine is currently Elixir and has been for a while. Elixir makes it easy to build complex apps and has so much built into it that I don't often need to reach for external dependencies.
