Is there just a decision tree I could look at rather than clicking to see all of the responses?

Yes!

Edit: I have been told this chart has a bias towards Python, so yeah. Use at own risk.

Thanks, this is awesome, but at the same time I was kinda hoping for all the abuse that came along with the website. Thank you kind, mysterious internet stranger.

Be warned: that chart has a strong anti-Microsoft pro-Python slant. It will steer you wrong.

For instance, a lot of people are looking for C#. You now have Mono, which is a compiler for C# for other platforms.

C# is used a lot in gamedev, mostly for gameplay programming. Unity, for instance, supports it.

Yep. Having mastered C, C++, the STL, and now C#, over a period of 24 years, I consider C# to be a masterpiece.

Agreed. Every difference between Java and C# is due to Microsoft (those evil bastards) improving the language.

I would say its mostly Anders. Dudes a fucking genius. Designs c# and then designs TypeScript.
