  • Rust
    We recently started using Rust at work for some internal tooling and I’ve been interested in Rust for awhile. So I figure now’s time. Hopefully we’ll do a book club for Rust In Action soon @AstonJ but for now I’m diving into rustlings. It’s fun!

  • Swift
    I’ve written a few scripts in Swift and SwiftUI looks great. I’ve even heard of some dev writing quick personal tools with SwiftUI instead making CLIs or scripts.

Next? Hahahahaha, I’ve been slloooooowwwwwwwwwwly learning Elixir over the past several years, and I’m semi-retired so I probably won’t invest a lot of time in learning too much new. (On the other claw, top of the retirement destination list right now is Lisbon, so I am learning Portuguese.) Could definitely stand to bone up on OTP though, and learn the latest changes in Phoenix. (And get better with macros, behaviors, protocols, and so on.)

A post was split to a new topic: RustLatam 2019 - Kevin Hoffman: WebAssembly with Rust

Learning Lua because my 13-year old son is heavy into Roblox mods and learning Python because my son likes Python. :nerd_face: Glad I’m learning both - Python because it’s the defacto standard scripting language in almost every 3d application which I use heavily as a medical illustrator. Lua because I’m taking this course for fun with Gustavo Pezzi, Learn How to Make a Game Engine with C++ SDL and Lua.

A bit of trivia: Lua was adopted by LucasArts in 1998 as a scripting language for their 2d games such as Escape from Monkey Island. The game designers even incorporated the name ‘Lua’ in their game (see image). :nerd_face:

Haskell for me. The pool of job is quit inexistant in France but it worth it I guess.

And also want to learn Maths while keeping programming in mind.

And during working hours I using Nodejs and Typedi, so I’m looking forward to work on Nest framework

Not any language or framework in particular but going to focus totally on advanced functional programming next year. Deep dive on purely functional data structures, category theory, lambda calculus – those sorta things. May learn Haskell or Idris to aid in those learning experiences.

My coworker is really impressed by dart/flutter, and wants to use that to build our mobile app.

Personally I still want to build something with Elixir, but GoLang and Kotlin are also tickling my fancy.

Rust would be something too, but I’m uncertain if I like the robustness of the syntax.

Build something in Elixir then join our Rust book club/s when we get them going next year :003:

Another language that has always intrigued me is Haxe which can target 7 different languages (JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash). But the tutorials are much more sparse than say Dart which are abundant. I will actually do quick input/output console programs to get a feel for such things as casting/converting/string interpolation, etc… it was much faster to find reference material for Dart than in Haxe.

Hopefully Kotlin if I am able to get a copy of this book :slight_smile:

I’ve bought Metaprogramming Elixir, an express book.
Got not so much time lately, so a little book is quite enough.
