Posting Etiquette
-
Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
-
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
-
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Haha thats great. Thanks for the taxonomy of fun. I have been trying to learn Rust but I find the payoff is still a ways away, so something to keep me going in the meantime would be good. So I guess 1 is the way to go, because if I want to keep going back then that's good motivation.
Go is probably the best in terms of time it takes to learn and building something fun. It replaced Python in that regard for me.
Interesting, what are the main benefits of Go over Python in your opinion?
That it's not Python;)
