@raspberry_boy@cybre.space well since we've clearly established there's a nonzero chance of us being the same person....probably!

why do I have to keep having programming takes, aaah it got long 

my take about any given language is that they're all tools. you pick the right tool for the job, and it's good to have a wide variety of tools at your disposal

I was born in a C# cave, so I wouldn't reach for Java without a good reason because it's not what I'm most productive in, but it's there.

also, whatever you pick is going to be fast enough unless you have some particular need for performance, like you're running in tight loops or keeping hardware requirements down or you're a high frequency trader or Google for some reason. if your program is mostly IO bound (like most things these days that mostly do web requests), you don't really care.

also also, learning languages isn't the important thing. it's about learning fundamental concepts, how to express them, and what that particular tool makes easy and what it makes difficult. Remember: the tools you use shape you, and getting stuck in any one mindset is a terrible waste. Broaden those horizons.

i want to do a long educational thread on here but i don't even have the attention span to figure out what i'd want to write about much less actually write the thing

things i was not expecting to see today: an honest-to-gods Cutesy interpretation of greek myth. Cutesy. y'know, with all the like. cute little gods committing cute little murders and such. i have no idea how this is supposed to work and as a result i am compelled to follow this through to the end
