While this question gives your interviewer insight into the diversity of your programming language experience, they most importantly want to know that you are adaptable and able to learn on the fly if needed. Talk about the different languages that you consider yourself fluent in and, if possible, do as much research into Digital Ocean as you can prior to your interview and try to speak to the specific languages that they work with.

"From the start of college, where software engineering grew into a passion for me, I've become very fluent in Java, JavaScript and C. My current role has me working primarily with C, but I pride myself on my ability and passion to learn new programming languages and would be able to do so if hired for this role with Digital Ocean."
