Packages and popularity aside, what programming language do you personally think has the best balance of brevity, expressiveness, and readability

Scala got lots of details right. The ecosystem is not as big as e.g. typescript but I'm already using it exclusively to build full stack apps in production.

C# Developer productivity is unbeatable.

Java. <3

You don't find it verbose?

Yeah but that's quite a small issue i think.

Swift ?
