they think they do but are just sniffing their own farts. not all FAANG are the same of course. innovation happens at startups or under the radar bootstrapped companies. FAANG buys them and integrates their work. i would argue real innovat

engineering is a career just like music. imagine you would want to make the reverse transition. would that make sense? it is not a get rich quick scheme or a solution to all problems.

it is not less magicy, rust is more magicy. which is why i don’t want it and why i think we don’t need it. a new language cannot abstract you from the machine or OS you write software for.

java and that OS using java are poor solutions and the idea that you can get consistent performance out of a variety of phones running an OS incorporating java is retarded. at least at Apple they know what they are doing and never made that

at least c++ doesn't force constructs onto you. remember java? that language was a fad too that didnt' go anywhere, because it forced object-oriented programming onto the user.

see? learn Rust, but yeah, also learn Zig, or whatever new flavor of the day. No thanks. I don't want my tool set to change every year. I got out of web dev exactly for that reason. I'll stick to my C++ or C, thanks.

I am personally not a fan of learning a language that does a bunch of "magic" behind the scenes for you, and basically tells you that you don't need to understand what is going on behind the scenes. That is the impression I g

you should not start with python, that is a really bad idea. most game programming and open source game code bases are in C or C++, and that is still what the industry uses, so it's best to learn the basics of those languages and then
