Ask HN: Would you rather learn Golang or Elixir in your free time?
Hey,
assuming that you don't know those programming languages, which one would you learn (and why)? Or do you prefer a different one?
Background: We're only using OOP at work and I wanna learn some different (new) languages. I've started with golang, until I've got an good idea about what's going on, A few weeks ago I "switched" to Elixir (including Phoenix).
I am not sure if I should keep my focus on Elixir, or switch back to go - I love both languages, they are awesome.
Have a good day!
- to_bpr 9y agoI'd invest the time in golang. I never hear of Elixir outside of HN but golang appears to be dramatically increasing in adoption and interest, so if I were to put my time into either it'd be Go simply because I feel as though there'll be more opportunities surrounding it.
