I have 20 yrs now in mainly c# but also js,ts,sql,ruby,etc,etc,..... I really love the way how programming fits into my head and how I can remember quite every code I wrote though the years. What I hate is that I don't learn anything new, no matter how much I try to explore new concepts. Everything is a remix... But hey, now I have much more time to learn cyber security and piano :) Btw, I looooove the HN community spirit and diversity.

> don't learn anything new, no matter how much I try to explore new concepts I'm sure there's more that you're not being exposed to. Distributed systems, functional programming, or Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). Go, Rust, Pony, Clean are all interesting languages that do things differently. Elixir/Phoenix framework since you have Ruby background is also a neat twist. You can learn new things if you hang around the same neighbourhood (unless that's HN).

  The problem with the word "new" is that it depends on which abstraction layer you look at. for example, all programming languages are turing machines under the hood so you could say that learning a new programming language doesn't bring any novelty to you because it feels like the same end result. also lisp did most of the cool things and now we are just reinventing the wheel with other languages
