As a Django dev (currently, anyhow - formerly was largely Windows software dev), I think I would investigate Go, if we're talking purely from a 'fun' perspective.
From a professional perspective, I've been dabbling in Objective-C/Cocoa and the Android SDK (trying to dredge up old Java knowledge) - but for something 'new' I think I'd take a closer look at Ruby on Rails.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoThanks for the advice. I come from a RoR background and I want to go into something a bit more "new age" or low level. Also digging a bit into iOS development now, just for fun.
- jaddison 14y agoGoogle definitely seems to be making a real push with Go - I believe it's just recently hit 1.0 status. I'd like to see strong contenders for web frameworks in the language, but I think the game is still quite early. There are a few options, but they all seem to be quite immature at this time.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoWhat is the big advantage of go? What would you use it for?
- thiagodotfm 14y agogo is very fast(it's aimed at somewhere between C and C++). it's a systems programming language, you supposedly can do anything. there's some companies already using it like soundcloud. it's awesome for api's because of it's speed. also, it's a well thought language with many different decisions from common languages, it does not have exceptions and so on. it's an awesome language if you want to expand your mind. otherwise, i would pick clojure.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoWhat's the great thing about clojure then? I've been hearing a lot about that as well.
