I’ve been working with a Javascript (+ TypeScript) + 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!
EDIT: I ended up ordering the paperback version of the Rust book. Maybe one day I’ll contribute to the Lemmy code base or something :P Thank you all for the replies!!!
I feel like you and I wouldn’t get along
Maybe. I just do not understand the love for ruby. Literally all the ruby code I’ve ever seen is just awful. Which isn’t necessarily a dig at the language, but it just seems like it makes it so easy to write terrible code.
Also, what’s the deal with
unless? “Do this unless …” is so unintuitive it’s almost like it was designed that way as a joke.
