Coding languages, tools, and frameworks are in a constant state of flux, improvement, deprecation, and popularity swings. Let's take a look at the top 4
I mean, just to say that I also have little to no experience with JavaScript and Go. I just read up on them or was told by other people about them and then decided to stay far away from them.
Also, I’m a software dev.
A sysadmin may not mind the shortcomings of Python and Go so much, because they only write short scripts where performance, type safety and tooling matter a lot less.
A data scientist will have a hard time ignoring Python, because several powerful data science libraries exist for it.
And as a webdev, well, you don’t really get a choice beyond JavaScript and TypeScript.
That’s a good point. I am used to using Python for scripting and there is really no problem with its performance. Otherwise, making for example an app in Python would be something entirely different… And true, for web development, there is really no other option as common as JS (or TypeScript, for that matter). Heard a lot of good things about Rust too. I am not so sure about Go though. Someone seems to like it a lot, someone doesn’t. But they still use the same arguments for supporting their opinions. I take it that it is at least controversial language.
