Month 8, Day 1, Year 2022
From Perl to PHP; PHP to Python, Ruby, and JS; JS to Clojure; Clojure to Elixir; Elixir to TypeScript.
There's Java, C, C# and a few others I had the pain and pleasure with, but it is TypeScript that somehow became my default.
It's worse than just about every language I've ever used, but it's successful because the brain to key translation is frictionless.
Haskell and Clojure are the best languages to exist in my opinion, but the fire and exuberance of Elixir community is second to none.
Elixir actually has types, but it's not compiler enforced, if you weren't aware. It's not the same, though. I've been coding untyped for
25 years and I feel that APL has the correct idea with the wrong set of keys. Maybe one day there will be a language that makes you think
Functional TypeScript but dances like Clojure. New languages could learn a lot from C. Part of the reason for the dependcy bloat is that
very few attempt to actually understand how to code things. Not that I'm the best, but I wouldn't improve if I downloaded 100 libs
to "Hello World". Since everyone seems to be some kind of extremist these days, I want to see a Godot library for FASM. Dare to dream.
When a monk has a computer, this is what it looks like to dabble in public.
