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 Q continum uses forth.
Pakleds use scratch
PHP was invented by a Pakled
Are you sure? They might have learned something then. Or did they get stuck with a turtle-logic compiler instead?
What about php
C. It is eternal.
There’s an episode in DS9 where OBrien mentions an issue caused by a pointer fault in the holosuite.
To me this is canon.
Three centuries later, they still haven't rewritten everything in Rust.
Yeah, my C programs too tend to randomly evolve sentience.
You're probably not using enough global variables
Honestly I've always imagined them using a more natural interface just like when they speak to the computer. So when they run commands it's essentially ai driven, and so is what they see on their screens. Why ever touch a piece of code when an ai can manage it for you and offers a natural interface with flexibility. It would simply be inefficient to do it any other way.
Makes sense, if you have an infallible ai. Bc it’s probably outputting machine code and that wouldn’t be so fun to debug.

Polarity reversal
Ostensibly Lisp, but most of it is hacked together with perl.
@ZenkorSoraz To paraphrase a developer from the ‘80s: “I don't know what the language of the future will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran.”
