As an aside, I have a really hard time understanding why people enjoy spelunking. Extreme cave diving. I literally get: jumping out of planes, bungee jumping, huge zip lines, extreme heli-skiing, surfing crazy waves, shooting yourself to space, and so forth. That actually makes perfect sense to me. But spelunking? Putting yourself into a tiny crowded space surrounded by rock? I don't get that. Now, I've been to a deep coal mine in Pennsylvania. It was fun to explore. But it was a safe thing where we could walk around, etc. So now I know what a coal mine looks like, and get to experience being unusually deep underground. But it's not extreme spelunking, like putting yourself through tiny rock holes. View quoted note →

Haskell: distilling ad hoc solutions into mathematical gems Rust: The safety of Haskell but with 1000x the performance. Probably my most used language these days. C: Low level bit manipulation, portability, fast compile speed. Lingua franca of programming languages. Python: Simple syntax, great at scripting prototypes and can provide a nice interface on top of native code if needed These are the main ones I use these days.
Ah yes... syntax designed for ease of use, running on the world's most accessible runtime engine, used for both server and GUI development, with the largest, fastest growing landscape of extensible packages.
It’s not really the language it’s the community that has to work with versions that do not exist yet which produced the shittiest fucking toolchain EVAR
I've explored this cave - Nutty Putty - before they closed it. My roommate busted his ankle (complete compound fracture) on one of our trips. Good times.
