I am an amateur dev developer and used to use untyped languages (Python and JS, mostly).
At some point Python was annoying in docker environments (especially for APIs) and I gave a try to Go. Initially I hated it, then learned to like it more and now I kinda like it.
- typed (this is a game changer)
- compiles to a single self-contained binary (easy with Docker)
- great for APIs without the worries of gunicorn and whatnot
I also discovered TypeScript to help with JS.
So the forst one would be "typed language". I have Python for the rest ("the 2nd best language for any task") and since I am an amateur dev, I do not have the time to dig into many languages to find the pearl.
