Regularly use: Common Lisp (SBCL mainly) and Crystal.

Favorite to work with: same as above. They seem to match how I think well, so it's easy to solve problems in them. Their speed is also a nice bonus, as is Common Lisp's debugging and image-based development. I also really like how Crystal feels like a dynamic language (it's very reminiscent of Ruby), yet is still statically typed and compiled.

Interest in trying: m68k assembly for some ungodly reason lol

You're in the lead for the most unexpected reply. I didn't know that Crystal had any industry use. I didn't know mIuch about it though. I simply knew it existed.

I prefer to keep assembly behind the compilers it might as well be flipping individual bits to me.
