My parallel track: * C++: The feeling that I can make a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. (not true but still mostly true) * Ruby: elegant, OO, who-needs-compile-time-if-you-have-unit-tests * Haskell: hard to learn but so worth it, by doing so I became a follow-the-types person * Elm: not hard at all, a well picked subset of Haskell for browser apps only * Kotlin: a well typed Ruby, with the ecosystem of the JVM at your disposal * Rust: when every bit of runtime performance counts (but now without sacrificing safety like with C/C++)
