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!!!
Have you ever wanted to do more with regular expressions? Then give Perl a try.
Do you want to awaken the Elder Gods, and consequently suffer a slow and inevitable descent into horror and madness? Then give Perl a try.
Truly efficient perl code is write-only.
Or Ruby, if you want to suffer less psychic damage…
