Wish: I'd like to explore rust, Scala, (oh yes) JavaScript/typescript, C#/F# for writing extensions for my R code when R is too slow or fragile. I'd like to avoid C++. I'd be interested in comments on/experiences with that.
Funny enough, learning C++ these days is arguably harder because of modern C++ standards. Reconciling the best practices between old and new can be difficult at times, especially if you don't care to embrace everything modern C++ has to offer. Multi-platform build systems also tend to be incredibly complex.
Rust solves all this, but its ecosystem isn't exactly mature at the moment. Sadly very few people in game dev take Rust seriously right now.
I know "ASP Classic" and want to learn PHP as need to learn new tech. Any suggestion on learning PHP?
something doesn't add up
Not in my wildest dreams can I imagine me "knowing" C++.
• Know but rusty: C++, C#, Python, AS3, Java, GLSL
• Currently use: JavaScript, Typescript, PHP, SQL, HTML/CSS
• Playing with: Nim, D, Rust
• Want to learn: I'm honestly trying to decide what to learn next. Might jump into Nim but I also have to go back and give Rust more of a chance after escaping the inconvenience of lifetime annotations. D seems nice but it seems to be pretty colossal in a similar way to C++ and I don't have time to dig into something like that right now.
One thing I'd love to do is go lower level than what I've ever done (C memory management / kernel-y stuff), but I have no project which would justify doing it and I'm time constrained.
I'm rusty in: PHP and Java.
I'm mediocre in: C, C++, and C#.
I want to learn: Rust, Nim, and Lua.
Want to learn: Clojure, Haskell, x86 assembly, webassembly, shader languages (e.g. GLSL)
