Late night musing: I find it weird that I am so facinated by almost all languages. I mean it doesn& #39;t help at work, it is a great advantage to dive in and work with almost all kinds of langauges because I probably tried em up at some point in time.

It allows me to build small tools to simplify my work at times, like a lazy dev would... automating my life as much as I can. However it does come with a caveat that I never master any of these langauges. I still need to look up syntaxs.

I usually end up using https://learnxinyminutes.com"> https://learnxinyminutes.com , to brush up syntax. At this point in my life, I am no more intrigued by syntaxes but more about what the language brings to the table. Lately have been trying to learn Rust Language, which is an exceptional langauge.

Rust does so many things well that coming from writing code in C/C++, you start to wonder why did you even spend time in writing code in those langauges. The effect is similar to going from Java to Kotlin. There is just developer joy that Rust brings, alng wid all other stuff

..and the there is Lua. I mean you can do so much stuff to with it. Did you know Lua has had coroutines for sometime and you can basically build cross platform executable with it because is so small to embed

..I also have been trying out Swift. Lets be clear it matches Kotlin in a lot of places. Picking it up is pretty easy for someone who codes in Kotlin for his day job. Swift is pretty nimble too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille"> Additionally it allows me to review code for iOS, if not code in it.

Go allows to bootstrap commandline tools pretty quickly. That has saved me a lot of hours to do something I would spend otherwise. This just means that each language is pretty gud in one way or the other. They all hv pitfalls too. Using the right tool for the right job is imp

To sum up, over a period of time I have learnt the war about what is better over other is subjective. People on twitter, reddit and other places indulge in it to show which one is more imp or is superior than the other. When in the end it doesn& #39;t matter. You use Kotlin for..

Note how so many people hate Flutter. Yet it still has its place in the ecosystem and a thriving community around it. People use it in Production.
