tl;dr: Clojure, Spacemacs, and gardening. I had similar thoughts about Go. I got excited about it but didn't find that learning it was really that difficult. That's good if you're learning it to quickly use it but I'm looking to expand my mind. Now I'm learning Clojure. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but learning it (like people always say with Lisp) has been an experience. I'm still working through learning it and I won't lie, it's been challenging. Been having to remap a lot of mental models and re-thinking loops and objects. I'm also learning Spacemacs. I've been a hardcore Vim user for nearly a decade now. I've tried also learning Emacs but just couldn't get past the C-x and M-x for everything. I know it's a tired punchline, but it's like it was created to be anti-ergonomic. I've been using Spacemacs for just a couple of days and coming from Vim, it's amazing. I'd highly recommend it to anyone that's already very familiar with Vim. It's got a learning curve, but after using for just a couple of days I feel I'm already coming out on the other side of that curve. In non-tech, I just bought a house and have been learning gardening. Nothing serious and in fact intentionally NOT taking it too seriously and not over-planning. I've already grown my own carrots, peas, radishes, and even some pretty flowers for my wife. It's been incredibly satisfying to make dinner and look at half my plate and say, I grew that. I've even had some failures but you just stir it into the dirt and keep on. I know it's not tech, but having a hobby that isn't in front of a screen nor sitting down has been great. I used to just play video games and my body was just not having it anymore.
