Similar thing happened with me starting around the same time (Python 3k I think they were calling it in 2007/2008). Every few years I’d look to Python again and the same split was happening in the ecosystem. It always put me off.
Definitely changed the course of my programming career.
- dave_sullivan 7y agoWhat did you end up learning instead? Learning python (2, then 3) changed the course of my career for the better, starting with web development, then machine learning. I’m doing mostly javascript these days but still use python a lot for web scraping, business process automation, and machine learning. It’s pretty versatile.
- mtalantikite 7y agoI spent a lot of time with Ruby as a younger developer along with JavaScript, but these days spend most of my time in Go. Some Swift and Rust depending on what I’m working on.
