I find this interesting because I feel that is true and if it is true, then there must be some definable reason for it. So what is it? I have this with Perl, PHP, Bash, C(!), Lua and pure (browser) JS with Jquery (not npm, CSS and HTML though => those keep me from even starting something when I think too long about them).

I would think I like Lua & C to just write it quick because they are so limited; I remember their syntax, core functions and core libs, so I can, without internet or documentation, write things in it immediately.

I'm not sure why those others give me that feeling; probably because it's easy to just start instead of having to set up dev environments etc. Most is already on your computer and they are forgiving (a bit too much I agree) about sloppy coding.

It would be interesting to try to dive into details of why the brain finds some languages more conductive to 'just write it quick' and try to mix that with languages which do not have that feeling at all.

Opportunity cost - mental energy you spend thinking about which frameworks you're going to string together or how you're going to make the perfect abstractions or how you can make your life as a programmer easy is mental energy that doesn't go in to solving your problem.

There's a balance, too - if you spend zero mental energy thinking about how to make your life easier, you tend to get spaghetti-code monstrosities that PHP (and Visual Basic before it) are known for. The trick is to live with some discomfort and some suboptimal solutions so that you can finish the job you set out to do, and only worry about how to do it better when it becomes apparent that you're going to be doing it a lot.
