What lang would be ergonomic you’d say?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Python is ergonomic. It's very expressive without the language feeling too magical.

If you are comfortable "programming with types" then Rust is a very ergonomic language. But it does take a while to get your brain thinking in Rust.

It's also useful to have counter examples.

C is not ergonomic. You basically have to reimplement collections for different applications.

What's your background? I've mainly used language with huge standard libraries and Go's intentionally small standard library feels very unergonomic sometimes (I miss sets).

Elixir feels very ergonomic to me, but a lot of programmers struggle with the lack of typing.

I came from JavaScript NodeJS and Python.

I’ve learnt Elixir and it seems like it’s packed with lots of features/patterns.
