Hello!
I am a software engineer. As a programmer, I use 99% Java at work. In my free time I like to dabble in other languages. I prefer:
- Java, because that's what I know best.
- Lua (+ Love2D) for game programming.
- Go, because it's fairly easy, fast, and type safe.
- C, because it's also relatively easy. I wanted to learn it to understand more about memory management, Linux kernel programming and so on. I believe that understanding C will make you a better programmer.
Learning Rust more thorougly is also on my TODO list.
I've also attempted to do things in C++, but it's quite comprehensive. I decided it's not worth it anymore (in my free time), because there is just too much to know, and life is too short :)
