The thing about programming is people normally go for the bigger languages even though there are smaller, more appealing languages which are just as powerful.

Don't be afraid to go after languages that are aesthetically pleasing you can get the same thing done in your own way depending on what the language is built for.

(my favorite atm is Haxe and GoLang.) http://haxe.org/ http://golang.org/

C plus plus (C is fine but Hubski is hiding the two pluses for some reason.) too me doesn't look like something I would enjoy sitting at my computer typing all day. Please can argue it's complete bullshit but honestly I like a certain aesthetic.

This implies there are other considerations besides simply code aesthetics and language size.
