We all have some programming languages on our radar! What are yours? What languages excite you the most?
Coming from a Ruby background, Exlir looks pretty appealing. Although being a web developer, I also want to level up on a good language which can help me write small utilities and Go fits the bill perfectly.
Coming from Ruby, Elixir seems to be the next best thing. Concurrency is baked in and I thought it would be a great introduction to functional programming.
I picked up sass last week and its cool. Mean Stack in my list
While I already knew some Swift, now I use mostly Linux and I'm starting to use Swift in Linux. Although it has been eight months in Linux, it's still missing some parts (particularly libdispatch for async) and a good IDE, but most of those problems seem that will be fixed soon. I chose Swift because it will let me interface easily with any C library, I've already worked with pulseaudio and avahi, after that I want to learn SDL and a lot of other C libraries that I haven't tried because of C
Golang and Elm, because they seem fun after one tutorial and some messing around :)
Being a full stack microsoft developer, I've always tended to lean towards those technologies, mostly due to work and what I've been accustomed to. While I know and am proficient in .NET, I absolutely hate it. Too cumbersome and bloated for my liking, thankfully I don't do much in these days (I'm primarily doing classic asp nowadays and love it. Anything you can do in PHP I can do in ASP, better :) ).
I have been looking at Python lately, as everything I've read about makes me think it would be a good transition from a procedural language like ASP. If I ever get some free time, I plan on checking it out :)
Since I have quite a few projects and I actually do not need any other language for what I do at the moment, I do not plan on learning a new language... is what I want to say.
Guess what? I fell for Rust. I already love C++, but I can see its shortcomings and how Rust tries to improve on them. I am working on a game, and I want to develop at least parts of it in Rust and compile them to static libraries which I can link into my C++ program.
Apart from Rust, people always talk about how Smalltalk makes you a better developer. So I want to give it a try, too. But probably not in the next few days...
Go Lang - Go tries to reduce the mental overhead that it places on developers. With focused vocabulary, dead simple scoping rules, first-class functions, etc. the language is just so nice to code with. It lacks some features, but I think with time, they will be implemented and the language will become way more used.
Elm - I've always been interested in functional programming, front-end and web technologies. Elm gives me all at my disposal.
Scala - this is totally on my near-future radar. It's a multi-paradigm language build on top of JVM, a mature enough environment. The language also provides a soft transition to functional programming.
At the moment i don't pretend learn new languages, but i want to learn some methodologies and good practices for make a great code :)
I found Crystal some years ago. Due to installation issues, I couldn't use it for long; compiler bugs, not upgradable, etc.. Just recently I stumbled upon it again and this time, it works super (at least on my Linux VM; can't install it on macOS Sierra 10.12 beta3 currently). Crystal is like Ruby but with types (mostly hidden) and super fast because it bases on LLVM. I still love the Ruby syntax; I started Node.js only because of CoffeeScript. Crystal is amazing; this is what I want to learn and master this year for sure.
The other language I find interesting is Julia. I can't say much about it yet because I have only watched some conf talks on Youtube. But it's definitely on my list.
Facebook 's Reason looks interesting to me.
I want to learn a functional language. It will probably be Haskell or Scala. But it won't be any time soon, because I am more interested in understanding the functional thinking in such a language, not the usage. An interesting one would be Go. But I have no imediate use for it, so I don't think I will start learning just yet. In the near future I will probably focus more on Java with Spring, because I hope I will start a project involving this tech stack. But this is not really new.
JavaScript!! Because right now my experience in it looks like this:

I am planning to read JavaScript Good Parts in the coming weekend. Wish me luck!

I think I am going to learn Ruby Because I always wanted to try out the Rails Framework after spending some time on Django.
And Also wanna try out "Go"!!
