I'm hacking almost exclusively in Erlang. It's a crazy language I visited a while back and ditched almost right away. Revisiting it after a year of...

I'm focussing this week on finishing my personal portfolio page, which I'm creating using Python's Flask framework. I already integrated my Medium articles inside of my blog (automatically via Medium's RSS feed) and added GitHub facts at the bottom of the landing page.
github.com/DahlitzFlorian/python-p...
Besides that major project I'm doing first attempts of creating GUIs using Python's Tkinter.
Flask is a joy to work with! What do you use for your personal blog?
The blog is integrated in my portfolio. I took a CSS template including blog and portfolio. I didn't want to spend so much time on the blog stuff, so I make a requests against Mediums RSS feed and get my latest blog posts from there. Then I iterate over it and display, whereas the blog entry itself is a link to the Medium article. Medium has everything you need, so I keep blogging there and just display it in my blog. See my latest article for further information and some pictures of the result: medium.com/coding-experiences/13-w...
That's interesting technique! I always wanted to atomically post on Medium and published everywhere. Wonder of DEV will soon support this.
I'm rewriting my repeatable project scaffolder from Golang to Python (much easier to dynamically load plugins in Python)
It's something I really care about because I'm lazy and being able to describe my project in a simple YAML file (defining License, Readme entries, folder structure, initializing git etc) and having my project set up with a single command is a must for me ^
I guess convention over configuration doesn't work for you ;P
I'm an avid Spring Boot user, I'm all about CoC ahah.
But for stuff like project scaffolding I want the finest grain of control.
React'ing and Redux'ing. Still not sure if I'm doing it right:

I have worked with Elm. Then when I got into React, I found Redux really complicate because it's hard not to compare to Elm.
I have written Elm before, and I drew a LOT of comparisons between Elm's core libraries and React+Redux. While I enjoy using React+Redux and Angular 4, there exists a certain elegance and simplicity that Elm offers that the other two options don't.
That, and the benchmarks speak for themselves. Compiled Elm code outperforms Angular and React.
It's a shame Elm isn't in JavaScript. It couldn't have been. Most elegance that comes with Elm goes out the window without algebraic data type and immutable values (one could argue using Flow, Typescript, Immutable.js, and Redux but they're all just hacks to make JavaScript what it isn't).
