  1. Best to stick with platform-native solutions e.g., C# for Windows. For crossplatform, Flutter works just fine even though C++ is more common.

  2. I agree with you on your point about JS's capabilities and so on but learning a second language isn't that big of a hassle. I would still recommend that beginners start with Python and then try out JS. If JS didn't inherit the insane backward compatibility requirements from the Web, I'm sure JS could've been as clean and simple as Python. But alas, we don't live in a perfect world.

  3. I had the same experience. JS paired with TS and some other tooling is pretty good tho.

  4. Stay away at all costs. Pick something, anything more popular, general, and open instead.

  5. Not a bad option at all, Django is literally one of the most wanted and productive frameworks out there. That said, keep an open mind and understand that Django is just one way to do things. If you're interested in making APIs and backends exclusively you should learn something like FastAPI or Flask instead. I personally started with FastAPI couple of months ago and am now working on my very first serious project. I was considering Django initially but dropped it because I'm more comfortable working at a lower level of abstraction. After my RESTful API is halfway done, I might pick up a JS framework like Svelte for frontend.

  6. That's true for most high level languages. Node js, for example, is a huge C++ codebase.

  7. My personal recommendation (for being an overall decent programmer): Start with Python, then TS, Go, Rust, and end with Haskell and Clojure if possible.

  10. Interesting how you mentioned Rust but not Go. The hype is real.

  11. best of luck bhai

  12. Just pick a niche that Python is good for e.g., backend, data science, AI, etc. and do some projects from scratch based on your own original ideas. Should be enough for your first job. Oh, and, try to get exposed to things like git, docker, CI/CD early on.

  13. Go has insane potential as a first language. But it's unfortunate how lacking the ecosystem is for beginner-level content.

  14. Very unlikely that you'll have to look at PHP after you get comfortable with the node ecosystem. A much better course of progression would be learning Go and/or Rust.
