These days I'm doing mostly javascript/typescript personally, and php professionally. What about you?

For 14ish years I've been focused on Node and Ruby both personally and professionally, and PHP for the decade before that (dabbling in other languages Elixir, C++ & C#, Python, Rust).

I've been really enjoying Go for the last 3 months. I find the simplicity of the syntax fresh (though verbose), the community rallying around Idiomatic Go (instead of every framework/library doing their own take on things), the slowness of evolution/stability (though I miss how fast Node has been iterating new features in 20+).

Something surprising I found really enjoyable with Go is doing leetcode drills and algorithm practice. No idea why its different, but they're fun to do now (I suspect it's because I'm new to the language).

I've played with go a few months. I liked how strict it is. Unfortunately, I cannot find work on my area using this language.
