tools
k8s, helm, docker
I don’t see anything cool lately.
Cool is passe this days or I’m to old for this shit. -
NoMad141694y@heyheni I disagree. Chinese languages don't have a particular alphabet, don't follow sanskrit based rules, and not easy to write at all.
-
F# is cool and worth learning ;)
So is Pharo... and <insert half a billion langs/fws/tools>... oh, and PHP. -
MissTofu544yIn my experience, it's best to focus on learning the vanilla language of any choice thoroughly before diving into learning a framework.
But if you've been there/done that, definitely ones that are more in demand by employers right now!
Or something more niche, depending on what you're after. -
NoMad141694y@MissTofu what are the ones in demand by employers rn?
But actually, I'm asking what new thing is worth learning from the perspective of been there/done that. -
witchDev7744yI’ll suggest scala. One coz its easy to learn 2, its in demand since i think you dabble in the AI/ML world (powerful, lightweight, reactive) 3, scala devs earn a lot.
Once you get the grasp of functional programming scala, frameworks like play and akka are just icing on the cake. -
@witchDev Scala 3 does tip the scales in favor of Scala becoming worth to learn for more reasons than just the pay (which is only true in the States - or rather, let’s put it this way: Scala may not pay that well at all depending on where you at)
-
"Cool" would be anything functional at the moment - OCaml for instance. What employers want though tends to be the more "boring" stuff - Java, C#, node.js, etc.
-
FORTRAN, Visual Basic, SCALA, jquery, Perl, SmallTalk, Wordpress, and of course a working knowledge of punch cards
Master all this and the job offers will come pouring in ^^ -
@jmau111 love go as a beginner language because it emphasizes good programming practice in general
What languages/tools/frameworks are cool these days and are worth learning?
question
