Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I’m thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

    Haha, well… I have plenty of self-esteem but not Rust-specific self-esteem. I still have imposter syndrome with that language.

    I’m a top notch expert in Python and JS though! 😁👍

    I wrote PyMinifier which required such a deep understanding of Python it kinda broke my brain writing it for a while, haha. I eventually figured everything out though and got an even deeper understanding of the language and its features.

    For JS it has just been years and years and years of knowing 100 ways to do what I want in JS but none ever seeming to be, “correct”. Then eventually I realized there’s no best way to do basically anything in JS and that’s when the true enlightenment came 🤣

    If you look at anyone’s JS code and think to yourself, “ugh, there’s got to be a better way to do this” chances are you’re wrong. All the ways will be equally shitty for any number of different reasons! 😆
