Go was my favorite mainstream language for GSD for years last decade. I was happy using it.
I came off a development ‘extended holiday’ by jumping into Rust dev over the last few months. I think I’m less happy. Though my software is arguably functionally better, even if I fucking despise the way it looks and reads.
Maybe I just never realized I'm a grug brained developer at heart.
I love the sentiment around this, and to be honest, i haven’t looked at software in this light even though i feel similarly about books and movies. Sometimes its good to just stop and let things be complete instead of endlessly tacking on more.
