I'm a software engineer who has until now mostly worked on web applications (backend and frontend). I have recently been learning Unity3D which has been immensely satisfying. The breadth and depth of skills needed to tackle projects in this field makes for some really interesting work. I am currently awaiting approval to sell an editor plugin on the Unity store which I spent some free time working on as a side projec…

Which lead me to watch Subs and I really dislike reading the text, especially when two characters are talking you have text on the top and bottom of the screen! Too much to read at once.

Through Go, though, I've been feeling like picking up a language with a more advanced type system. Usually when I have that feeling I get trapped in analysis paralysis and just never pick anything up. I've been considering just hard-committing to Java/the JVM and taking it as it is. My experience with Java was from college/my first job after graduating (horrible J2EE fintech mess), but it sounds like more modern Java is pretty neat? Who knows.
