Recommend me a programming language
Recommend me a programming language
I've been working with a Javascript (+ TypeScript) + Java + SQL stack for the last 10 years.
For 2024 I'd like to learn a new programming language, just for fun. I don't have any particular goals in mind, I just want to learn something new. If I can use it later professionally that'd be cool, but if not that's okay too.
Requirements:
- Runs on linux
- Not interested in languages created by Google or Apple
- No "joke languages", please
Thank you very much!
EDIT: I ended up ordering the paperback version of the Rust book. Maybe one day I'll contribute to the Lemmy code base or something :P Thank you all for the replies!!!
You're viewing a single thread.
Odin is quite a fun new language I just started learning. It is meant as a C replacement and comes with a decent standard library and third party library so there is a lot already built that you can use. It also is fully compatible with C and can use C libraries.
Just be warned that documentation is lacking and you will have to read the source code of the standard library from time to time or seek help from their discord.
Read up a bit on this now, and it definitely looks like something I want to try out! One of the beautiful thing about C is its simplicity, and it looks like Odin has been able to keep that, while introducing some nice convenience features that I often feel like I miss when writing C.
