Why can't I pick a programming language and just stick with it? Anyone else constantly exploring new languages?

Because there's no perfect language?

And how constantly are you exploring new ones? Monthly once is fine

About to learn Dart

Because programming languages are beautiful and there is many of them. I love learning them too.

Because they are fun to learn, but not that fun to solve actual problems.

It’s good to know more than one language. Some languages preform better in certain scenarios or maybe there’s a way that is quicker/easier to write.

Oh yes, I tend to do that too

Thank you, guys! You have put my mind at ease! I thought I was the only one for a second. I always see people saying, CHOOSE A LANGUAGE AND STICK TO IT! I find that SO boring and somewhat counter active.

Easy fix: just get a job programming in primarily one language and then after work you will be too burned out to try anything new!

@asgs Rust is the perfect language :)

Yes.

Rust is next on my list.

@asgs C is perfect.

Nop, Explored when I was still at school:

Java, C, C++, Basic (Various versions), Assembler (MC68000 and x86), PhP, JavaScript, Pascal.

(Side note : I made an HTML app in Delphi with full connectivity between JavaScript and Pascal code about 16 years ago, way before Electron, chromium and co and I realized fast that it is a worst possible approach for app development)

Now It's C#/TypeScript and that's it. Maybe some powershell/other shell when I really need to make a script and can’t use C#.

Scala, go, ruby, python, perl and co don't even interest me. I don't even want to try.

That's interesting! Let me please share my thoughts, when I was trying to learn a new language, I realized that practicing vocabulary and grammar daily really makes a difference, but it’s easy to lose motivation without something interactive. I recently tried this approach through https://promova.com/page/... and it helps you actually speak and communicate, not just memorize words. I found the AI exercises useful for correcting mistakes and reinforcing study habits, and it’s flexible enough to fit short daily sessions. For anyone struggling to keep up with learning, this might be a practical option.
