Well, programming languages tend to be suited for particular purposes, so it's kind of difficult to say which one is most fascinating or I enjoy wokring with the most since it's kind of down to what I want to do.

My current go to is Python because:

•

Relatively easy to learn

•

I can look into data science, AI, machine learning, algorithmic trading, astrophysics, and web development

•

They have very good library for maths and stats

In second place is C++ because:

•

To me, it makes more sense than Java even if it's one of the most difficult languages to learn

•

I get to program games on game engines such as Unreal

•

It's a general purpose language that also allows me to do algorithmic trading

•

It's a commonly used language in FORTRAN (physics)

In third, it's JavaScript:

•

Front end web development, blockchain, apps

•

A pain in the neck to learn with so many potential pitfalls

Fourth, C#:

•

It's the programming language for the Unity game engine

•

Whilst it's a general purpose programming language, I can't think of anything I would really use it other for programming games

i'm actually only in y11, but i've been coding since i was in y5 and have been learning python since then. so my answer is python for sure since, although i haven't gotten the time to make any projects yet, i find it really simple and straightforward to code with and you can create amazing projects with them :biggrin:
