   I don’t want to use #Go, I don’t want to use #Rust, I don’t want to use #Python, and I don’t want to use #Elixir. What other #programming #languages can I use?

     @james My recommendations would depend on what you want to use it for, but my favourites currently would be Haskell, Vala, Lua, & Julia!

     @mo8it @james At least I acknowledged I didn't know!

     @james Funny that everyone spams his favorite language(s) without knowing what the person asking needs. We only know what he does not want, not even why...

     yeah
     but no language is perfect
     and no language can fully replace another language (in therm of interoperability)
     
     but once you reach the point where you understand core programming concepts, the choice of a language doesnt really matter as much compared to its capabilities in the context of what you want to write.

     @theorytoe See this thread:
     https://mstdn.starnix.network/@james/109837820460453945

     tl;dr you criticized rust, aral criticized go, and I had criticisms of python and elixir. so I made this post.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
