Because a love for leaving behind what works to make something in a different language that also works fills your soul with joy?
Yes? I don’t know what you expect me to say here, why tf wouldn’t learning a better language every now and then fill me with joy? I’m dabbling in side projects all the time and when I switched from React to Svelte I felt elated because it’s just so much more comfortable to work with. If your boss is not paying you for your work that’s that but nothing stops you from learning new stuff for yourself. I do understand you not wanting to hand your boss your training for free but nobody forces you to do that either, just don’t mention that you can use python when asked. That simple.
I feel like we are “mirror images”, but not in a predictable way.
Like, you get off on flying through languages having done things in said languages but never fully understanding any language and I get off on not needing a new language until I fully understand the one Im on, but LOVE informing you on the same tripwire you hit in each new language whilst I trip over that same thing in my language. Every. Time.
I dont fancy you wrong, just not correct.
I’d hope you’d fancy me not correct, but also not wrong.
I wouldn’t excatly say I’l flying through languages. My migrations so far were these:
C++ -> Rust: I learned C++ in Uni, I switched to Rust pretty quickly because I heard a lot of good things about it before I needed a compiled language in my free time
Python -> Bash: sort of a regression but most of my projects using Python by now have been moved over to Rust because I value the stability it provides. Bash replaced the use cases for small things like turning off RGB before suspend and things like that. I looked at Python, tested out Bash and concluded that my experience would be better with Bash despite it being older and less user friendly
Typescript + React -> Typescript + Svelte: I initially started out using NextJS and was growing frustrated with it, heard a lot of good about Svelte and decided to try it out on a smaller project. I quickly discovered that using Svelte increases my development speed and significantly reduces my headaches.
That’s 3 switches in 4/5 years of developing things, most of these happened pretty early on as well. What I’m doing however is keeping an eye open in case something pops up that would suit my needs substantially better than what I already have.
