  • My philanthropic beliefs and love of freedom. I was absolutely amazed when I found out about open source and free software. Then I got to it and loved it even more, the community, the UI and DEs, how much you could customize everything and how much choices you had. But mostly it is the philosophical beliefs that makes me love linux. Even if it is not better than some alternatives in some aspects, I willl still stand by it.










  • Syntax wise, JS, specially TS has a great syntax and go is much weirder. I don’t care what the haters say. JS syntax is very understandable. And you can see why Rust has borrowed a lot of syntax from TS and JS. And I think knowing js is much more useful,but if you want to build big backends with good performance, go is better.

    my somewhat controversial opinion:

    Never use a language that is controlled by a big enterprise. Look at Java, look at C#, yes they are strong and the market for them is usually good, but they are absolutely not fun to work with. You have to just stay in their ecosystem and you’re forced to use their tooling, and their stupid decisions. For example try to develop a .NET app on linux. Or do almost anything with Java. It’s a huge pain in the ass.

    So I would never get too serious with Go. But rust is like C, and JS, although it has flaws, it’s much more fun to work with, and its not controlled by anyone, and will be here for a couple of decades atleast.
