Ask HN: What Technologies to Learn in 2020?

#1
It is always good to keep yourself up to date with the hottest tech stacks. So what are your suggestions for 2020?

For example: Flutter / React Native ? ML? Tensorflow / Keras ? GraphQL ? Vue JS?

Go or Rust?

+1 if you suggest something cutting edge that very less people know about!

If you're in the web sector, definitely give a try to wasm. Have a go at Rust while you're at it — see what I did there?

I'm personally hot for GraphQL because it's a powerful paradigm to model data.

Both Go and Rust are incredibly interesting languages, in very different ways.

In some ideal world, Go fits in a scaling/efficiency vertical somewhere in-between C and C++ (it's very specific but it basically encompasses all middleware, many microservicing archs, and most 'simple' projects at the edge).

Rust is more of a C++ juggernaut that does it all, if it prevails it'll be applicable to anything and everything.

Both have extraordinary great communities, very welcoming and attracting many great minds. Support is all but guaranteed for the next decade. You just can't go wrong with either, imho, just pick one that fits your domain best.

I'd be happy to work in both.

I’ve recently redone our work CI setup with Typescript + Vue.JS + VueJS Bootstrap on the frontend and Typescript + Prisma on the backend - it’s been awesome so far. Took a little while to get the setup right, but it’s an excellently productive combo and I’ll continue to use it in 2020.
