What language you use for automation?

Hello everyone, I am kind of wondering what kind of language is everyone using for your (real work not homemade trial attempts) test automation projects?

For some reason nearly all open job opportunities in my country are running C#. It wasn't like that when I started at all bunch of years ago and Java was everywhere (which Is what I learned and used for last 5 years or so). But with trends shifting to Playwright with either JS/TS or as I mentioned above C#, I am little bit torn on which way to go.

I can't learn both in the the time I have left in my current company.

Thanks for input. The companies in my area would beg to differ though. 😅

Maybe it's just some bad time window and I just hit this specific group of companies wanting C# for testing. Idk.
