Neurodivergent devs: what languages actually *click* for your brain? Not popularity — what feels kind, predictable, low-cognitive-load? Why?

I'm building a framework for ND devs and want real experiences. Rust? Go? Odin? Python? Something else?

Tell me what works (or doesn't) for you.

@dylanisaiah #CommonLisp

It's like you're walking through an abandoned mall and discover a custom rolls Royce parked with the keys in the ignition fully fueled. And you can just... Drive it.

It's got a lot of quirks but underneath it all is a solid foundation that has so many good ideas in

@catboi29 You've sold me on the imagery alone. What does Common Lisp actually *feel* like to use day-to-day? Is the quirkiness charming or frustrating?

@dylanisaiah @catboi29 Sorry to chime in from the sidelines: To me, #CommonLisp feels like home. I mean this seriously: This is my home language. I know and confidently use a lot of other programming languages, but whenever I use Common Lisp, I get a sense of calm, familiarity, warmth, predictability, and belonging that I don’t have with any other language. Common Lisp has, as far as I can tell, what Christopher Alexander calls the Quality Without a Name. Common Lisp is alive, it has a sense of history, of constructs that just work and fit extremely well together, of a living and breathing organism that takes good care of you and your ideas. Sorry to sound so esoteric, but that’s just how it is, for me at least…

@pascal_costanza @dylanisaiah @catboi29 Much the same for me.

Whereas Python feels like a messy desk, but worse—someone else’s messy desk.

If I were a programming language I would hire you as chief of the fan club.
