Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I’m thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

    I don’t entirely know why, but it’s difficult to enjoy programming in python, even if you enjoy the end product. Something about it’s design, which usually forces you to do things imperatively or reach for a library, it’s position as mainly a glue language, it’s philosophy of “there should only be one way to do it”. They’re practical philosophies, but not very fun
