Svelte, by a large margin imo.

I can’t really agree with this, especially not since the advent of typescript. There’s not a dynamic language in existence with better tooling than JavaScript. You open up a js file in vscode or webstorm or whatever, and the typescript language server kicks in so you get type hints for all your code. If you switch to typescript it’s a whole other level of type safety.
Also, it seems like your comment could be generalized to include all dynamic language runtimes, not just Nodejs.

I went through the same situation, except I chose to work for myself instead of going into the job market. I shared a small part of my story for the first time on reddit [1] , which led to me being interviewed on the stackoverflow podcast [2] . All I can say is that from my experience, knowing how to code is a skill that has proven to be indispensable. I don’t know what I would be doing if it wasn’t for the fact that I can create things I can sell, with no funding, and nothing but ideas. In the past, my options were few, now they seem limitless.
Much respect for your friend, and congrats on her success! It’s not easy at all to actually self rehabilitate behind those walls.

I think I’d prefer compilation to Go.

Webstorm crushes vscode in every way. Especially for typescript.

As much as I like vscode. I’ve yet to find a mainstream programming language that it provides support for better than a Jetbrains based IDE. Which is really sad, because if it did, I’d switch in a heartbeat.

It comes nowhere close, if you are used to programming in languages with static types, the devx is just not on the same level. That being said, pattern matching is very powerful, and gives you a lot of what static types gives you in terms of safety. I’m just to spoiled by the level of productivity I get from editors when using a languages with static types at this point and using elixir full time would feel like taking a step backwards.

I’m left handed and I use a https://blog.splitkb.com/blog/introducing-the-kyria keyboard with https://workmanlayout.org/ , it’s helped me tremendously.

If C# had these features it would be hard not to use it.

Though I program in languages that most follow the obj.method(args) pattern, I really prefer the args |> function |> function pattern and I wish it was the norm in every programming language.

I can remember a slew of video based apps that Instagram killed when it added video in the early days - Viddy, SocialCam, Kik, Vine, they were all in competition and Instagram came and ate their lunch, then did the same to Snapchat, now tiktok.
