My super subjective answer is SwiftUI. Obviously only applicable to iOS apps, but that's the most fun for me at present.
Go. Lower your pitchforks and hear me out: 1. Sensible defaults, can go very with just the stdlib: no choice paralysis between frameworks, mental overhead of setting up a project or ecosystem fragments to pick from. Just start with a main.go with net/http, add things along as you need them. 2. No ecosystem churn, whatever you write now will be idiomatic Go and build without issues for years to come. 3. Enough of a ty…
Take Rails 7 with Turbo. Start with the Jumpstart Pro template. You’ll feel like a god. https://jumpstartrails.com/ Finally, all of the boilerplate and over-engineered components are gone. You’re finally free to solve the just business problems. And you’ll be fighting integration issues a whole lot less. I have no idea why any saas based startup, whether it’s one person or VC backed, would start with anything less. T…
Leaving my decade-long job at Google at the end of the month, and am going to be taking some time to have "fun" and hopefully get my love for coding back. So I like this thread. Am I messed up for finding modern C++ on Linux with CLion to be "most fun"? Is there hope for me? Zig looks fun. Elixir looks fun. I thought Julia would be fun -- because I like multiple dispatch -- but I didn't find it "fun." I want to love…
Definitely fun.

> Do you find issues with software not packaged for FreeBSD? For example? I use Cargo packages for some software that was not in the Ports and it worked well. Also downloading binaries for both FreeBSD and Linux and running them works. For Linux version I would say it depends - mostly works. > How's the Wayland situation? Dunno.

Nothing too bothersome, newer wlan I suppose will be available soon enough, but I just found out that Docker isn't working ATM. Anyway, I really want to use FreeBSD so I'll probably go ahead soon-ish :). Thanks!
Same as Jails are unavailable on Linux systems :)

The only thing that 'excites' me in DragonflyBSD is their HammerFS - which works and its OK - but its not as usable and simple as manipulating ZFS with zfs(8) and zpool(8) commands ... Besides that I do not see anything special on DragonflyBSD ... I have read that they have very sophisticated and fast SMP implementation ... but a lot things just are absent there - like on OpenBSD land. No virtualization for example .…
I too was interested in HammerFS. Thanks for the perspective, I'll ask around here at some point about DragonFly users, they must be out there :).
I would like to see that implemented in ZFS but I think it will not gonna happen :)
Pleasure to me means I can sleep at night knowing whatever system I’ve built will remain online when subsystems fail, and will self-heal when infrastructure goes down. When it comes to a career change I’d focus less on lang/stack and more on engineering culture, approach, practice. A team that builds good software, regardless of language or stack, will be a pleasure to work with. I think that functional programming i…
Svelte + Meteor. You can quickly get something into the hands of users without reinventing the wheel and you write a lot less code overall.
This allows me to quickly start coding while not focusing on the tedious configuration tasks that usually accompany a new project. I've been using it for over a year for personal and professional projects. It's not perfect, but it helps. I wrote this open-source template, so I am, of course biased :)
