Ask HN: Which tech stack is the most fun?

From reading and playing with a hello-world project, though, ShadowCLJS seems to offer roughly the same watch|build|hot-reload ability while also offering more and better NPM interop support. As it is now, I have some fairly ugly shell scripting around js packages and builds that could go away if I paid the effort to migrate to ShadowCLJS.

It would also be a lie to say that the generally positive buzz around it doesn't contribute.

If I might ask, what sort of project are you planning?

I have been using React and React Native for 5 years and noticed that a lot of developers are complaining that it's hard to learn. Actually better to say its hard to intuitively get it without diving deeper into the documentation

Recently I've tried Vue JS and I ma surprised that React is still way more popular.

Vue JS is way more simple and easier to understand, and the code syntax is way more shorter and cleaner. I wish there will be more support and libraries for Vue JS.

What I really like about the Python realm is that everything just seems to work easily. The whole ecosystem just seems to work so well as a whole. In the currently rather rare moments when I use another language and its ecosystem, I at once seem to encounter kind of annoying little problems. It's a bit difficult to grasp why.

Python's syntax simplicity is also great. You can often really guess the code, even if you don't know a function. Compared to that, when I'm seeing super complicated bash scripts for example in the context of hacking, I always think "wow, in Python would be so much easier". I mean I can deal with complicated stuff, too. But with Python, I'm getting lazy lol.

I'm also pretty much a universalist. So I like that jack-of-all-trades aspect of Python. I also like the scientific possibilities of it. Am constantly thinking if I should go back to university and study physics (or mathematics). I think Python would be a good tool there.

What is also nice is that the Python ecosystem is not moving too fast. You have pretty much basic tools which will stay for quite a long time. There's Django for professional and Flask for easier stuff in the context of web development, and that's it pretty much. I don't want to learn constantly new technologies. I want to use them. So when I learn Python technologies, my knowledge will stay for kind of a long time. Totally different from JavaScript for example where there are constantly new frameworks emerging. That's not too much for me.
