Game dev is 'cool' and you will see mainly Windows machines with people coding C++, Lua and some others in MS Visual Studio. A big money industry. larger than Hollywood, where Linux and Macs are not seen much.
I subscribe to quality over quantity: I love APL/J and Lisp. Lisp Flavored Erlang LFE over Elixir which is attractive to the Ruby crowd for its syntax. Ruby and Python as "edgy"?
- mhartl 11y agoRuby and Python as "edgy"? I wrote "slightly edgy", which obviously changes the meaning, or else you wouldn't have deleted a word. And yes, Python and Ruby are slightly edgy compared to, say, Java or C++.
- eggy 11y agoFor the record, I quoted the word to isolate it, and frame a question instead of copying your entire paragraph. Fair enough though, you have answered with your opinion. Python has been around a while, is very popular and is used as the default language for the MIT course that once used Scheme for decades (with some dislike on choice of Python). IMO, Python is mainstream, and hardly "edgy". I was writing Blender 3D scripts in it in 2004. Ruby was novel when introduced, and perhaps you could have ascribed the word "edgy" then, but now Ruby is so mainstream with web dev, I don't see it. I don't program for a living, so I have the luxury of studying whatever I want for coding. I play with J/APL, Scheme/Lisp (Lisp Flavored Erlang - LFE), and F# and F* just recently. Edgy to me is not even those languages, but something like the programming language NONE [1]. [1] https://bitbucket.org/duangle/nonelang/src https://bitbucket.org/duangle/nonelang/src
