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).
- vnjxk 5y agoThe 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
