I never found any programming language which i love.
I've settle for rust and go.
What i want is a language which is as simple as Go but we can mark off the portions of program and go one level down to optimize the hell out of it in rust style.
Admittedly I was running 10ish not-so-microservices on a dev laptop so couldn't really spare the cycles or RAM. Now on a desktop machine with 32GB and more cores I probably wouldn't notice but just don't like the idea of it from my previous experience.
In JavaScript i also want to see JS being used as vmcode and a higher level language similar to Go with ADTs/pattern matching compiling down to JS and everyone using it.
Does most of the software involve mission critical work where failure means death or loss of vital organs?
Outside some key areas, most of the software work is not that important.
So this comparison isn't fair.
My girlfriend does React/JS apps for local businesses and she's teaching some other women in the neighbor too.
No she doesn't know how webpack works but she has learned enough to produce results.
Whenever she gets stuck, she looks for Stackoverflow or GitHub issue links and 80% of the time finds the answer there.
Rest of the time she gives up on a tool and uses other tool which doesn't suffer from the same issue.
Sorry i used to think i am very smart because i am a programmer but it turns out others were simply not introduced to the programming way. Programming is wayy easier now with all the tooling/guides/courses available now.
I think it's great that many other people are taking an interest in programming and doing it. And it's true that to think oneself very smart for being able to program is the wrong attitude. But this thread that you're replying in started with this particular assertion from the article:
"But any blue-collar coder will be plenty qualified to sling JavaScript for their local bank."
An app that's secure enough for a bank is unfortunately not something one can make without a lot of training. Maybe someday.
My girlfriend who is nurse basically by training, took bootcamp and now she makes react frontend + Prototype in Sketch which is what she really enjoys.
She told me this area of work is really good as you can learn from YouTube and put it to practise right away without worrying about that you'd screw up.

Go + ADTs + pattern matching is something i want.
