Heyy, I’m learning programming and trying to choose a focus, I saw you can make web/backend w node, desktop (bloatware but discord uses it so if it works it works), games (not AAA and not optimized for performance but it shouldn’t matter for indie too much) Is there anything that compares? I wanna focus on one thing instead of spreading myself over a ton of languages, I do feel js is interesting for this, but I’m just starting out, so looking to hear some thoughts of people more familiar with programming.
I’d say technically it’s Rust, because you can do everything from embedded/kernel development to web frontends (via WebAssembly).
I do like the versatility, but I agree with what has already been commented, that you shouldn’t worry about this yet.
Newbie programmers always consider it a daunting task to learn a new language and then you’re a few years in and just inhale a new language on a weekend for fun.
And when I say fun, I do mean that it’s actually educational to learn multiple languages. They emphasize different concepts, which gives you a new perspective and new patterns for solving problems.
