Unlike me from 10 years ago, I don't place a lot of value on "cutting-edge" tech anymore.
Something that works reliably and stays stable for decades without significant changes or re-learning required is what I appreciate now.
Bonus points for performance and security improvements under the hood without changing the interface.
I have never used Common Lisp, though I learned Clojure and try to use Clojure-like Lisps - Babashka and Janet for scripting.
I tried learning Rust and Raku in the same year in 2024. Didn't get far on Raku.
I've never tried any BSDs other than macOS, which I used at work for nearly a decade.
I respect Linux's stance on "do not break userspace", which is on-topic for this toot.
My ideal language would be a Clojure/CL hybrid. There are a few people who write Clojure-influenced CL and Elisp, and it looks nice.
I'm glad you tried out Raku. 🦋 Right now, the languages I want to find reasons to use are CL and Raku.
Keep meaning to resume learning Rust, but right now I'm wondering whether it would be better for me to stick with something old school like C.
