I’ve been working with a Javascript + Java + SQL stack for the last 10 years.

For 2024 I’d like to learn a new programming language, just for fun. I don’t have any particular goals in mind, I just want to learn something new. If I can use it later professionally that’d be cool, but if not that’s okay too.

Requirements:

  • Runs on linux
  • Not interested in languages created by Google or Apple
  • No “joke languages”, please

Thank you very much!

    Python seems to be a staple for as long as I can remember and it looks like it’s still gonna be going strong for a good while yet!

    I’m thinking of taking the dive and finally learning it myself soon.

      Packaging solutions kinda sucks, but we’re about to get a JIT in the main CPython so that’s exciting.

      Python is especially great for quick scripts or PoCs. I’ve been using it a lot lately to prototype some things and it just makes it a breeze

      Main complaint is the snake_casing convention. By far my least favorite
