It's not that great of a reason why but it's definitely a reason - 6502 ASM brings me some money. I'm really into the retro gaming/vintage computing scene, and if you know system hardware between the 1970s and 1990s you may know the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, and 8-bit computer lineup all run on a 6502 or simplified 6507, everything Commodore up to the C128 used a 6502 or 6502-based CPU, the NES and Famicom run on the Rioch 2A03/2A07 which use the MOS 6502 instruction set with added features, and the PC Engine/Turbografx 16 use the HuC6280 which is a customized 65C02 which shares the instruction set with the MOS 6502. So, I program a few homebrews now and then - I've sold a nice chunk of cartridges, HuCards, CDs, and tapes for various systems using games that I've made anyways. It's kind-of neat to see, really - it's by no means a large market, but it's definitely a lot of fun to design a game for an old system like that and have it sell a few hundred copies or even more depending on how popular it is.

Past that, there's really no use that I can think of for a 6502 that something like my Arduinos couldn't cover and do a million times more with so I don't use 'em much outside of the retro gaming/vintage computing scene. I do know a few other languages, but I never got too into programming outside of some Arduino stuff and little bits of my single-board computers so I don't have a great idea on what I like or dislike although I am trying to figure that out - C is enjoyable enough and Java sucks, that's what I've got so far anyways.

I enjoy situations like this as well. Limitations to what you can do force you to explore your options and get creative.

My favorite language so far is C++ because it's easy to use it and you can code some really complex stuff in it. Other than that I also like JavaScript and CSS.

My go-to language has been C for a long time, although I am starting to like Rust a bit more. Getting past the unusual syntax took a while but it's a pretty awesome language, as it can provide many modern high-level language features and abstractions without sacrificing much in the way of performance.
x86_64 ASM is good to know as well, although I don't do much development with it outside of inline assembly in my C code.
I like Python for its workflow, as I can get prototypes and scripts going with minimal effort.

Very much agree, particularly CSS.

My board Is based on phpBB and a lot of customizing requires the Implementation of CSS coding. In my views, It's a simple yet very effective language.

WTF, CSS is a language? next thing HTML will also be a language.

They are "languages", just not particularly programming languages by most people. Hey, if we're going to be pedantic, let's go all out. Wink
