C. It is eternal.
In such a case, I suspect that Zig will be absorbed by C using a maneuver that I call “The Zig Zag”. After all, C is eternal.
Lisp. All is Lisp.
Data’s entire consciousness was written as an Emacs package.
Klingons program in Brainfuck. A Warrior’s Language!
Vulcans exclusively use APL.
The F in Ferengi stands for Fortran.
Python is banned across the known galaxy. If your race is discovered using it, your planet is immediately bombarded until the entire crust is molten.
Cardassians use Haskell because they’re evil.
The reason has been purged, intentionally forgotten. Vulcans train their entire lives to take on a dangerous task: once every 66 years, the very best of the best view the reason why Python is banned.

@bloopernova Wouldn’t the Vulcans prefer Prolog?
UFPLisp
Not a language, but isn’t there some beta canon somewhere that states that LCARS is a derivative of Linux or something?
Waiting for an engineer to pull up holo-Torvalds to debate C vs rust the way they pull up holo-Einstein to argue relativity.
The only example given on Memory Alpha is a decompiled section of StuxNet https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Programming_code so that implies that C and C++ are both still in use
