I'd drive Smalltalk, a Bentley. Very luxurious and friendly. Very powerful. Very exclusive (owned by few).

Programming in Smalltalk is so pleasurable. Elegant simplicity. Friendly GUI IDE. Extremely productive.

Such a metaphor can only take you so far. Smalltalk is very affordable, unlike a Bentley. Anybody can own one.

While the Smalltalk community is small, there are still thousands of enterprise users around the world, supported by no fewer than three major Smalltalk vendors (Instantiations, GemTalk Systems, Cincom).

Like Java, Smalltalk is a reliable workhorse.

Like JavaScript, Smalltalk is very versatile, used in many application domains (some you wouldn't expect).

Like Python, Smalltalk is very friendly and easy to learn. It has all of six reserved words. The complete syntax can be summarized on a post card! There are videos that can teach you Smalltalk's syntax in minutes!

And Smalltalk is also very safe. People diss garbage collectors but they're widely used for good reason. They're only problematic in a few domains.

If I need critical performance, I may choose C or Rust, or even garbage-collected Go!
