Really I’m not down with the youth coders!
What’s wrong with Rust?
I'm not a youth coder. Solid Gen COBOL, here. 😂
😂
I am a youth coder but spent from 2019-2022 hand (mostly) de-compiling (8065, thats correct, 8065) bin dumps to readable assembly then to C to make sense of the program. Still somewhat regularly get hands dirty with asm. Expect some asm in noscrypt :P
I was a 6809 coder in my day

+1 for no rust. Ive tried along with GO. I just can't do it. bleh. I need C-like syntax and nothing more.
I struggle with indentation-style coding, like Python.
I don't do well with anything weakly typed except JS I guess, but there isn't much of a choice but to learn JS these days or rely on someone else who does know JS. I exclusively use typescript these days though.
Indents stink. {}; ftw. Python is fast to build with, I mean is practically a cross platform script, so I use it occasionally but don't like it.
Which brings me to yaml. I used to HATE yaml. Anything with yaml I would drop interest in the thing and leave it. But now I have grown to really like it, I'm adding a parser library to vnlib to accept yaml & json. It turns out what I hate is the documentation for yaml based apps. Most docs using yaml just plain suck.
I like yaml, as well. Got used to it with testing a Doctrine project.
