It's not really a coding language but I use SQL a lot for work. Occasionally Python and R. As you can probably imagine with this list, I'm a data scientist.
My favorite to work with is actually autohotkey, which I use to automate stuff, because it can be a fun little challenge to figure out how to automate based on the system it's running on and what I'm trying to do.
Funny how you said SQL Python and R, my mind immediately said data analysis.
I'm not sure what autohotkey is or does. Is it Windows only?
AHK is a powerful scripting runtime for Windows, yeah. I use it to create custom media hotkeys when using a keyboard that doesn’t have actual media keys built in. But that probably the smallest tip-of-the-iceberg of what it can do.
I had to convince IT to let me keep it installed because it CAN be used by bad actors with how powerful it is. But it’s not too different from what any program on Windows could do; just makes a lot of basic things VERY easy.
I could have sworn at one point it was cross platform but it's seemingly only Windows now
The Mandela Effect strikes again!
