What are some languages you really like/respect, but rarely get a chance to use (anymore)?

For me that'd be:

1. Clojure — I now primarily use Kotlin as alternative JVM language, because it's easier to get team-wide buy-in
2. Elixir and to a lesser extent Gleam — I haven't had a BEAM/OTP project in a long time
3. F# — I have no specific need to target .NET, so I just use OCaml, even though I miss some F# features like active patterns

@citizen428 BEAM languages for me. The BEAM is such a cool design. But I haven’t ever had a particular need of it / it’s far more common to architect things with different models.

Also Haskell. Never wrote any serious production code in it but did have some quite sizable personal projects.
