Svelte, by a large margin imo.

I can’t really agree with this, especially not since the advent of typescript. There’s not a dynamic language in existence with better tooling than JavaScript. You open up a js file in vscode or webstorm or whatever, and the typescript language server kicks in so you get type hints for all your code. If you switch to typescript it’s a whole other level of type safety.

Also, it seems like your comment could be generalized to include all dynamic language runtimes, not just Nodejs.

I went through the same situation, except I chose to work for myself instead of going into the job market. I shared a small part of my story for the first time on reddit [1] , which led to me being interviewed on the stackoverflow podcast [2] . All I can say is that from my experience, knowing how to code is a skill that has proven to be indispensable. I don’t know what I would be doing if it wasn’t for the fact that I can create things I can sell, with no funding, and nothing but ideas. In the past, my options were few, now they seem limitless.

Much respect for your friend, and congrats on her success! It’s not easy at all to actually self rehabilitate behind those walls.

Love Zapatos. Hope there’s a way to get this working!

I think I’d prefer compilation to Go.

Webstorm crushes vscode in every way. Especially for typescript.

As much as I like vscode. I’ve yet to find a mainstream programming language that it provides support for better than a Jetbrains based IDE. Which is really sad, because if it did, I’d switch in a heartbeat.

It comes nowhere close, if you are used to programming in languages with static types, the devx is just not on the same level. That being said, pattern matching is very powerful, and gives you a lot of what static types gives you in terms of safety. I’m just to spoiled by the level of productivity I get from editors when using a languages with static types at this point and using elixir full time would feel like taking a step backwards.

I’m left handed and I use a https://blog.splitkb.com/blog/introducing-the-kyria keyboard with https://workmanlayout.org/ , it’s helped me tremendously.

If C# had these features it would be hard not to use it.

Though I program in languages that most follow the obj.method(args) pattern, I really prefer the args |> function |> function pattern and I wish it was the norm in every programming language.

I can remember a slew of video based apps that Instagram killed when it added video in the early days - Viddy, SocialCam, Kik, Vine, they were all in competition and Instagram came and ate their lunch, then did the same to Snapchat, now tiktok.

This makes me feel kind of nostalgic. Makes me think about when I first got into SEO and ezinearticles dominated serps, and the best places to post content was hubpages and squidoo. Reddit, digg, delicious, stumble upon, furl, fark, etc were just places we used to link to our article pages. I never really would’ve thought reddit would be what it is today.

I’m guessing you never promoted ypn ads or chitika. Yahoo wanted to compete, but had poor execution. To give them credit though, there was a time when they had great tech. I remember when they shutdown yahoo pipes, at the time there wasn’t anything else like it. Yahoo mail was much bigger than gmail for a time as well.

I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out. I can remember digg being bigger than everything besides maybe stumbleupon for a short while when it came to bookmarking sites.I never would have imagined reddit being what it is now.

Really wish Dart was more useful for server development. There’s a lot of missing packages that no one seems to be interested in writing right now though.

https://pub.dev/packages/freezed is ADTs, pattern matching, Dataclasses. named parameters are already part of the language.

There’s about 4 different packages that provide immutable collections, built_collections might be the most popular.

So basically typescript?

I actually like Dart even outside of the context of flutter. The toolchain is on par with go in terms of ease of use and simplicity. The language is really high level and simple to use, it can compile to native, and it's only getting better.

What sucks is the ecosystem, hopefully that changes so it can become my goto language for more general-purpose programming.

It would be really nice if Google would get something going for dart on the server-side. I personally would make the switch to using dart full time for my side projects if I got the same benefits as I do with using node / react.
