Do you use a lesser known programming language. I.e. not C,C++,perl,python ?
For which reason ?

I recalled (not used, though) PL/M.I used PL/I in my daily work in the days when it was not a 'lesser known programming language' (1982-1990, EC 1022 - aka IBM System/360).
But v has no object orientation.
I used it a lot at General Motors in the '70s. Apparently they were the biggest user, because when I told colleagues that I coded PL/I for a living, they would say "Oh, you work for GM?"I used PL/I in my daily work in the days when it was not a 'lesser known programming language' (1982-1990, EC 1022 - aka IBM System/360).
New versions of Fortran (Fortran 90 and above) have become quite nice. It is no longer fixed format, and it has OO stuff if you need it, and builtin support for complex numbers and matrices. As they say, "It's not your grandfather's FORTRAN."FORTRAN for non-number-crunchers (on non super computers)?
Note : gerbil used to work fine on freebsd. (currently it does not compile)Hey, Lisp is not lesser known Sacrilege!
Smalltalk I could list.
Yes! Turbo-Pascal 5.5, Borland Pascal 7.0, Turbo Professional 5.11, Object Professional 1.22, TechnoJock's Object Toolkit 1.0 (1990-1995, MS DOS 4.01 - 6.22).Pascal ?
I heard of it, and also heard that VAX FORTRAN Plus had some supports for structured programming. But at the time I was forced to write non-number-cruncher codes was FORTRAN77, as it was the only compiler available on the environment.New versions of Fortran (Fortran 90 and above) have become quite nice.

(Trivia note: As of Fortran 90, the name was officially changed from uppercase to Pascal case.)
