What language or tool are you curious about, but have not found the time to use or learn?

Babel

Scala, Elixir, Rust, Apache Druid (not sure if DB count as tool)

• Roamresearch
• Figma
• Apollo GraphQL
• Hasura

[Ben Halpern]

I now use Figma regularly as a pretty ignorant consumer. Actually learning it seems like a steep hill to climb! 😭

[Abhigyan]

I find: Figma==MS Paint

[Manbir Singh Marwah]

For me, it's Flutter.

[Ben Halpern]

What's most appealing about Flutter?

[Manbir Singh Marwah]

Hot reload, extensive widget support, close to native experience with support for cross-platform.
Having some experience with Android using Java, those are some features that seem quite appealing to me.

[Abhigyan]

Even my startup switched from Capacitor to Flutter.

[Keff]

For me, the experience of developing is what sold it to me. Having used Ionic and React Native, I can say it's the seamless development experience so far.

Some other good points:

• Great docs
• Loads of out-the-box widgets (components)
• Quite a big community
• And UI warnings, for example, if your text overflows the screen, it will show a warning in the app showing where the issue is and explaining the problem.

I second flutter. I think it feels fun and promising as an ecosystem. Also as a game developer I found it closest to the workflow of Unity 3D on application domain, which is a great convenience and fun to work with. Also both are well documented (Yes I’m looking at you php).

I hope to do some hobby projects in the future, perhaps when kids start school in 6-7 years lol:D

I love Flutter. We are moving from Ionic to flutter at our company.

I imagine there are downsides to using it, but for now, it has only improved our stack.

Rust and WASM. I did a Rust tutorial and then just haven’t made the time yet to dive in more.

Also Swift. I’ve never done any iOS dev and I keep hearing great things about Swift.

[rhymes]

Rust, WebAssembly and Crystal here

[Pavan Maheshwari]

Same I wanna try our Wasm preferably with Rust

[Alex Fallenstedt]

I recently wrote an article about Rust + WASM for processing pixel data from a video feed. We plan to use it at Streem streem.pro/. You can read a bit more about it here.

Python, Headless CMS, MongoBD.

1. ES6
2. React
3. Express
4. Vue
5. GSAP
6. CSS Grid
7. Jamstack
8. Back-end Dev

[Galuh Utama]

Go and Rust.

[Ben Halpern]

What would you say is appealing about each?

[Galuh Utama]

I am planning to replace C/C++ (mostly for systems programming targetting embedded devices) with rust. Rust looks mature enough and third party libraries are plenty now.

For Go, I’m looking for more performant languages for backend services that is easy to write and maintain.

• Redux
• GraphQL
• Gatsby

[Ben Halpern]

I assume you're already familiar with the core React library? Just for my curiosity, what parts of the React ecosystem do you currently know well and what makes you choose these as being on your radar?

[Vishnu]

Basic concepts of react like components, state, props and hooks. I have done a few small projects with react. But I never felt the need for global state I kept App.js component as the main comp and passed the state down as props, maybe that's because these projects I worked on, are small. I was happy with useReducer and useContext, so far. I still need to work on more intermediate level projects before touching any third party state management tool. I read a few articles about what problems does GraphQl solves and I also want to build a portfolio/blog with gatsby and since gatsby uses GraphQl, so I chose these.

[Abhigyan]

It just means you're a noob. Or <noob. I know you would criticize me, but that's not a joke,

[Vishnu]

Ok Thanks for pointing out that. It will be nice if you could share some resources or ideas to expand my knowledge. Thanks 😊. Have a nice day.

[Abhigyan]

I would. But only after next 10 hours. Check the time, its 0016 in India

[Abhigyan]

As promised, here is my tweet for a successful web developer: twitter.com/Abhigya53544714/status...

[Matteo Notaro]

Redux is like taking the core part of react like hierarchy of components, state lifting and thigs like that and throw it away by the window

[Vishnu]

I saw on twitter most people saying that redux has become redundant with the introduction of hooks and Context. Also there is a new state management library recoil by facebook themselves.
I should have said any third party state management library.
This article by Kent C Dodds gives more insights on using one.

[Kostia Palchyk]

Good article, thx for sharing!
As a redux user, I have to add the "useReducer/Provider" approach to my to-try list. This JS fashion is changing so fast.. 😓

Just wanted to add: never feel bad because you haven't tried something yet. There always will be something new to try. And that new thing probably will have it's downsides either. Give it a chance when you feel it's time, don't push yourself 🙂

+1 for Gatsby !

Yes that's definitely on my radar as well ... and GraphQL then comes naturally, Gatsby depends heavily on it ... React and (to a lesser extent) Redux as well.

I was also thinking about Rust, dabbled with it a bit but never found a practical application. Funny enough it seems that most people are interested in using Rust as a sort of frontend language (via WASM) while I associate it more with the backend.

Oh and Flutter maybe.

Gatsby however looks more of direct practical interest.

RabbitMQ is an impressive piece of software and the tools behind it probably played in that. It's been coded using Erlang so that's definitely a language I would like to learn.
