I didn't like coding until I started dabbling with Ruby.
In university I did a fair bit of C and Java. With these two it was always very laborious to try to have fun while coding. I focused more on networking and security until I had a lecture on Smalltalk and fiddled together some scripts with Ruby at the same time.
Haven't looked back since. Working with Ruby just feels way less clunky to me when comparing with with e.g. Java.
I get things done way faster, it all seems more consistent and I don't feel like I have to constantly jump though hoops.
This makes me actually enjoy coding.
Maybe it's just the tooling that you didn't like so far? Enterprise software can suck the fun straight out of coding :)
