My motivations in picking a #programming language have shifted over the years:

BASIC - it was there
Assembly - fast
C - fast
C++ - abstraction (oop), fast
Python - easy, dynamic, abstraction (oop)
JS - only game in town on fe
TS - avoid bugs early (object is not a function)
Rust - fast, avoid bugs early, abstraction

What were your motivations?
