Python. It's really easy to learn and write, it has a huge community, and it's fast (for an interpreted language). It's also used a lot in the AI/ML area, and with the rise of LLMs…

This is exactly my experience. I would just add that I do still use Python, because all tools have their uses. I use it for small scripts, and nothing else. Just places where compi…

I see a lot of project ideas, and I see a lot of people shoot them down because no one would use them. I recently made a project called gg[0], and it's a collection of TUI video ga…
