If code is speech, attempting to prevent someone from writing and running the code they want on their own machines is censorship. Good thing we have Nostr, to keep the code totalitarians at bay.
Write whatever you want.
Nobody can stop you, here.

And banning Bitcoin mining is like not allowing you to run a program on your computer
That reminds me, as I check periodically:
Is Bitcoin dead, yet?
Does COBOL count?
Asking for myself!
You may code in any language, so long as it is not Rust.

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.
No. Done. Que sera sera.
