Avoid """free""" software that constitutes a sophisticated advertising campaign for major government-loving corporations. Those corporations control many aspects of the developer culture in those ecosystems, and manipulate them in various subtle ways to their benefit.
Examples of this in the software world are Microsoft (GitHub, C#, F#, TypeScript, .NET, Mono, and everything built on top of it), Oracle (Java, and everything on top of JVM), Google (Android, Go, Dart, Flutter, etc), Apple (iCrap, Swift, LLVM), IBM/RedHat, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Examples of more independent grass-roots programming languages include: Python, Haskell, D, and Nim.
Choosing genuinely free software means software you can do anything with independently from anybody else: no legal attachments (no EULAs / licenses, including "well-intentioned" commie licenses like GPL), no cloud addiction, no centralized support communities with a strong left-wing bias (ex. FreeBSD, Node, Ruby).
Just as Facebook and Twitter use their media power to promote the political causes they like and punish those they dislike, so do software companies through services like GitHub, Play Store, Amazon AppStore, etc. If left-wing corporations think it's OK to throw milkshakes at right-wingers, why not inject malware into their software downloads as well??!
Yes, choose a programming language that's not an advertising campaign for our enemies, doesn't try to subtly trick you into using our enemies' services, is not infiltrated by SJWs, and was not engineered to keep the creative approaches of high-IQ programmers from confusing the low-IQ programmers. Like Nim or D.

You speak well but nobody gets anything done without an organization and networking. We have to choose someone to get in bed with or get left behind.
