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!!!

    When I first ventured into programming, I felt like a complete novice. With no prior experience, diving into the complex world of coding seemed daunting. That’s when I stumbled upon full stack development service. These services offered a comprehensive solution, covering everything from front end to back end development. It was like having a guiding hand through the intricacies of programming. With their expertise, I was able to navigate the complexities of software development with confidence. Full stack development services became my stepping stone into the world of programming, helping me transform from a novice into a proficient developer.

      A strangely effective option for young whippersnappers who want to maximize employability and income stream in “boring” tech. You’re not gonna be standing up many greenfield projects using that language - and likely speaking, you might go an entire career without ever touching a codebase younger than you are - but if your passions run towards Janitorial/Plumbing work with regards to code, it might be right up your alley.

        It’s a coding language I recommend to anyone wanting to code in finance. Banks like it’s reliability I guess
