@pash yo! What are your favourite languages like at the moment? Do you get to use them in work, or only at play time?

@Drarok oh and also no I don't use it at work. At work I spend most of my time not even coding 😂 but when I do it's typescript in the office

@pash I quite liked my brief time with TypeScript, and have worked on at least one previous JS project that would have avoided a few bugs if it had used types.
I had an idea earlier and reached for Node to run a quick socket server, I wonder if Rust can easily fill that role…

@Drarok the learning curve is steep with rust, but once you're in a good place with it, yeah you can move pretty quick and build really solid systems. With rust, if it compiles, it kinda just works 🤷🏻‍♀️
