Your welcome.
PHP and JS/TS are SWE ghettos. The improvements that TypeScript React, Laravel or Drizzle (smart SQL builder for TS) give are great but none can fix the underlying problems that a really shitty programming language results in.
I used to really love Ruby. But I now believe there's even better that's also totally free.
Rust is really nice!
Kotlin, OCaml and Haskell also have some amazing "doing it right" cultures, that leverage "stronger typing" techniques.
- LeftHandPath 2y agoI’ve always loved Haskell as well, although the most I did with it was writing a small language interpreter for a CS class. It’s amazing how much better major languages could be. They’re slowly getting better - I started out using PHP 5 at work, and the improvements since then (eg PHP 8.4) are HUGE. I’ve used modern C++ extensively as well. I love Rust more than either. If you like Ruby, Loco RS is really neat as a(n immature) Ruby on Rails replacement.
- cies 2y agoWhile the improvements can be huge, they can never truly fix a language imho. There's too much code depending on it, and there's the stdlib that contains a lot of the "worst practices". It's easy to love Rust (OCaml, Kotlin, ...) more. > If you like Ruby Nah, only for very small throwaway script. And even for them I prefer Kotlin nowadays (stronger typing, better IDE integration, etc.)
