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.

I don't code enough to justify investing time and energy into becoming fluent in a new language, andd habits die hard, so... perl. It does what I need it to do, and it is so thoroughly embedded in the back of my head that it's extremely rare that I have to look something up when writing.
