Reminder, refresher and TIls of the week

Python vs Golang vs Rust

Focus for language decision, also main focus must be something else as being a developer. I love developing but the environment for projects becomes more and more hostile.

• Python
  • (+) Prototyping
  • (+) Libraries
  • (+) Machine Learning / Data Science
  • (-) Distribution
• Golang
  • (+) easy language
  • (+) concurrency
  • (+) single file distribution
• Rust for the big rest
  • (+) As far as I learned for frontend and backend no need for JS. Leptos
  • (+) helpful compiler messages
  • (-) complex language
  • (-) problematic politics

I think I will invest more in Rust, keep up Python and Golang, I like it but note sure... I need room in my head for other topics that get me hooked.
