Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I'm thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

Probably start with Rust again this year, although it definitely makes some of the days a lot harder. I might switch to something better for quick code if I fall too far behind.

I might even try PHP - I coded it professionally at the start of my career but haven't touched it for a decade and I'm curious to know if its improvements make it pleasant to use.
