The other benefit of having a proper emergency fund is being able to say no to your boss without any fear. It took me 10 years but I have enough accessible funds to go a year easily without any new income. The freedom at work is so nice. I’ve noticed that my confidence at not needing the job makes them take me way more seriously and offer all kinds of benefits they don’t afford everyone.
This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It’s still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you’re right about the hype train hitting me. :)
What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)
Honestly it’s been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what’s popular. I’m excited about other programmers being excited.
I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?
These are Linux laptops. But yes, they’ll work better if you put your preferred distro on them.
Fun stuff :)
Part of what make Python amazing is pip and everything that’s already been built. For a strongly typed and statically typed language with a large and growing ecosystem I’m drawn to Rust even though I don’t think it’s pretty.
Johnson & Johnson as well as Avon have paused investments and have very similar products. I have good skin with Dove but https://www.amazon.ca/Aveeno-Moisturizing-Colloidal-Oatmeal-Soap-Free/dp/B06VTWRWGJ worked great for me too. I wouldn’t get it from Amazon though.
nim looks good at a glance. I tend to stick with marketable programming languages so there are so many I don’t know about. I personally think that using the optional strong typing features are enough to make Python a joy to use. But yes, other people’s code can be cumbersome.
Python is probably the top non-systems language for productivity and expressiveness right now if you use type hints.
I asked myself this often. I think it’s absentmindedness but I still find myself annoyed. Wear it or don’t but halfway just gets to me.
