I love it when a programming language rewards you for refactoring. Like you'll be working with a piece of code and nothing feels right, it's all null checks and kludges, and then you factor out the right method and it all just sings.

Dart does this a lot. The syntax tells you when you're doing it right.

@isaaclyman one lesson I have learned is never fight with the programming language or framework

If something feels weirdly difficult you are probably doing it wrong

And a good language will be structured to point you in the right direction, this is known as the pitt of success

@isaaclyman Rust also gives me that sort of feeling. When something isn't right, it becomes harder than it could be. The more you work with it the easier it gets to catch these situations.
