I started learning Closure and Scala at the same time. Abandoned Closure and kept Scala. 🫢

When I first found Ruby, it became my first favourite language. I eventually tried lisp and Clojure/ClojureScript and was like 👀. This is awesome (and (a little) weird)!
Today I prefer to upset #[0] and use rust. I have no favourite languages today.. most serve a purpose, but some make you a better engineer.

Ha. I’ve kind of wanted to learn Scala… but it’s just the time investment for basically the same outcomes I can get today without it.
Clojure is great once you get lisp. There seems to be a barrier to human cognition where they syntax hurts adoption. The code as data and pure functional programming aspects are incredible.
