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!!!
Sure, could be/was a lot worse than today. Still, PHP gives one way too much rope to hang themselves with.
Hey, I grew up on C++… you’d be amazed how comparatively safe PHP is by comparison. I don’t disagree though, but I do appreciate having features like var-vars around for when I need them.
