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.

Python
It just makes life easier if you are building shit to do a task well and fast.

I like F# but css is my favorite .
