Rust, JavaScript, or Python?

My first choice is PHP, and this is my why : dev.to/robertobutti/why-php-2e4h

But as a developer, i love programming.

As a developer, I find joy in utilizing and expanding my skills in various programming languages such as Rust, Go, JavaScript, and Python. I firmly believe that a language is merely a tool; it is us, as human beings, who truly make the difference. Therefore, it is crucial not to align ourselves too closely with any particular language, especially in today's rapidly evolving landscape.

We are currently witnessing significant shifts in programming paradigms, and it's likely that the way we operate in programming will undergo profound changes in the coming years. This could entail a reduction in traditional constructs like loops and conditionals, with an increasing emphasis on concepts such as pipelines, transformations, and patterns.

As programmers, it's imperative that we maintain a mindset of flexibility, readiness to learn, and willingness to embrace new tools and methodologies. Adaptability is key in navigating the ever-changing terrain of technology and ensuring our continued growth and relevance in the field.

Rust, for Rust is the best programming language.

Rust för Rust är det bäste programmeringsspråk.

For a personal project - JavaScript, hands down. I rarely write anything that would warrant bringing in the big guns (Rust) and loss in development experience is therefore not warranted.

For a professional project my personal preference would be quite secondary and the choice would depend on project needs, market and available resources.

P.S. I like flexibility and simplicity of JavaScript: it’s not bulletproof, but it’s easy to use and in most cases it’s rather predictable and makes sense in general. That and, once again, personal preference :)

Easy, Ruby :-)

All three of them are GOAT in their own ways. For automation, I choose Python. When dealing with web-related tasks, I prefer JavaScript, especially TypeScript. For performance and safety, my preference is Rust. However, I am a Gopher! 🐀

The choice of any programming language completely depends on its usecase. For example, it is something similar to choice between nosql vs rdbms database. Similary, if we wanna work with memory, OS, low level work we can prefer working with Rust. If we wanna work with web dev (mostly) its better to work with JS. For ML/AI or data processing, python is recommended. This recommendation was given with respect to the community size in the fields.

I like all three, though I’ve recently started wanting to move back toward software which is less centralized. Web software makes us all vulnerable to the problem of platforms over protocols, which makes every vendor we use not just a helpful partner, but also an eager and friendly jailer.

JavaScript for sure.

1. I know it better than I do Python or Rust
2. It's very versatile and easy to understand
3. It's very well documented

Yeah, JS has its drawbacks, but still I like it.

JavaScript (TypeScript 😊) is my go-to for back-end development due to its flexibility 💪, efficiency ⚡, vast ecosystem 🌐, and most importantly, the huge community 👥 and library support.

I've been developing in Python since 2007, and I've opted for Rust instead of Python for my new side project (web-related - backend) for these reasons:

• Security - Rust comes with built-in security measures.
• Performance - I aim for this project to maximize income by minimizing CPU and RAM usage, as well as the number of running containers for load balancing and high availability. Python carries significant overhead compared to Rust.
• Docker image - Python docker images tend to be considerably larger compared to what can be achieved with Rust or Go, resulting in cost savings.

However, the challenge for me lies in my limited knowledge about Rust, so I'll need to learn a lot along the way. ChatGPT is quite helpful in answering questions.

Replace the or with an and ;)

Although we shouldn't compare them but I would prefer python if I had one option to choose.

Perl. Because I do a lot of text processing.
