Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.
Just a kid with a computer here. I am familiar and have reached a reasonable level of fluency with javascript and python, with typescript being a somewhat satisfying switch I made.
It's been 4 years, I haven't touched another language. I wanna study something future proof and genuinely helpful. The reason I never went beyond js and py was because I already had everything I needed, I could make anything I wanted. I really want to dip my toes in the strong programming waters.
Can you suggest a language?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd move up to a compiled language. If you want to program professionally I'd recommend C++. You could also look at rust which may end up being very popular in the future, it's also the backbone of Lemmy.
If you have more interest in Android apps you could look at Java or Kotlin as well.
Rust is also in the Linux kernel, I'd say it's pretty popular at this point
Rust has been on my radar for a while. I installed cargo and just never used it haha. Any docs/videos/other learning methods that you recommend in particular?
Same with me. I just started going through rust book a few days ago. I think the best thing to do is to just start.
