- delijati 4y agoExactly, that is why i feel the need to change to something more esoteric after 17 year of Python. Maybe nim? Any suggestions are welcome ;)
- askonomm 4y agoI hear great things about Nim and also Zig. I'd say check what the market is like for those (ie supply and demand) and go wild!
- jstx1 4y agoThere’s hardly any market for Zig and Nim though.
- matthewfcarlson 4y agoI’ve been playing around with Zig and could see myself getting into that niche if one develops.
- roguas 4y agoThe clojure which started the article your reply to seems very like the thing to check.
- throwawayelixir 4y agoElixir. Just be warned, one you learn it there's a good chance you'll never want to python again. I have a track record of picking good pls:. I picked ruby (2003), Julia (2009), elixir (2015), and most recently zig (2019) and no others.
- anonymoushn 4y agoMakes me worried for Zig
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoSome might argue that’s a track record of bad picks…
- zem 4y agoelixir is a good option, if you're looking for commercial viability
