8) Java again

10) Python

Guys are saying I need to learn C++ and Typescript, but I'm just winging it, so far.

Taking an online JavaScript course for work, since they use Cypress.

TypeScript is JavaScript playing dress up. Sure it uses types, but I can dump those at a moment's notice.

I guess my order has been:

1) C++

2) Racket

3) Java

4) Python

5) JS/TS

6) C#

I've dabbled in others, but not enough to be worth mentioning.

I must have missed the Racket Era. 😂

That must be right after the PowerBuilder Era.

Maybe? It's also a toy language, derived from Lisp, for learning purposes. I don't think anyone uses it for realz.

PowerBuilder was very pointy-clicky. Lots of finance/insurance apps with Oracle behind it.

Was it one of those drag and drop UI things that turns layouts into code?

I guess PL/SQL is in there, someplace, too. Near PHP.

I think before PHP because it was Oracle and the PHP was usually MySQL.

Learning bash scripting, now, to take over someone else's stuff, and I hate it. 🙈 Unreadable gobbledygook.

This could be us, bro, but you make me maintain a 200-line bash script, bro. 😭

I took one look at it, and was like, yeah this all gonna be rewritten in Python. 😂

We're actually relatively similar. Seems like most people start with Python or JavaScript, now, and their stuff is often bizarrely buggy and inefficient.

The high level is far easier to get into than low level machine code

But that's where the electrons flow
