- Svelte or Vue
- Nest.js, Prisma
- Rust for performance
- Kotlin for happiness
- Clojure for purity, Functional Programming, data transformation; maybe build a Functional Programming Game?
- Go for simplicity
- Elixir for scaling
- Ruby for elegance
- Python for clarity
1. Elixir
Goals:
- Get into high-performance backend development with elegance.
- Understand Erlang's Concurrency Models.
Frameworks to try:
- Phoenix with Phoenix Liveview
Hack Ideas:
2. Ruby
Goals:
- Try out Ruby 3.0
- Learn the zen of Ruby
- Solve problems more elegantly.
Things to try:
- Ruby Koans
- Hotwire: HTML over the wire https://hotwire.dev
- Approach to send HTML over the wire
- Powers HEY
- Libraries: Turbo (core), Stimulus (integrate js code), Strada (for native mobile)
- DHH's Twitter)
An alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire. This includes our brand-new Turbo framework and pairs with Stimulus 2.0
3. Clojure
Goals:
- Learn how to think and solve problems with data transformation
- Learn how to do Functional Programming with data transformations
Things to Try:
- Clojure Koans
4. Rust
Goals:
- Get into more low-level stuff.
- Code with high performance and low resource utilization in mind.
- Understand how Ownership, Borrowing, and Borrow Checker works.
- Create cool tools with Rust!
5. Kotlin (or Scala, Swift)
Goals:
- Try out a very production-ready and elegant programming language that is still very focused on performance.
- Try out a programming language that is very commonly used in production for mobile and backend development.
6. Haskell
Goals:
- Really understand Functional Programming to its core.
- Learn to think in mathematics.
- Learn how to model computations more clearly.
