I love c++ it's a very reliable language that has been around for every and you can do many, many things with it .

You know what else has been around for a long time? Rusty knives and baths. Coincidence? I think not.

Favorite language depends on how you look at it in my opinion.
C# is my favorite language currently, because I can program pretty good in it and already released some tools in it. This summer, I'll be learning other languages (hopefully C) so this might change in the future.
I like C# because it's easy to use, and you can create semi-advanced programs in a relatively short time. It doesn't work as fast as C or Python in data processing, but it's still nice to use.

Lol ummm don't know what this has to do with that but okay lol

My favorite coding language is Java and C++

I learned Java first, and loved it. But then touched C++ and saw the power, never went back.

Have you tried C, Go, or Rust?
Spoiler:
Ok, I'll stop now

I enjoy C, but I like C++ much better for one and only one reason. Data structures. C was conceptualized at a time period when serious abstraction was not a thing. As time went on, people created their own libraries to keep things strait (generally through serious abuse of struct). C++ got made in the wake of this, and took care of a lot of the problems C had by creating a few new concepts (hence the joke, C++). There are many datastructures I used pretty consistently in C++ that would be an utter bitch to make in C (for example, a hash table).

Don't forget share_ptr<> and unique_ptr<>.

It's by no means useful for what I know and a complete pain in the ass to work with compared to some more modern languages, but 6502 ASM is what I'd consider my favorite.
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.
