Vue! Started to play around with it yesterday :D
First impressions?
I will still never be a fan of functions that start with $, it seems unreadable. I'm more likely to use the mounted function instead of $mount as I result.
I really like how lightweight the configuration is. And it feels pretty intuitive without a lot of extra context/bloat to understand.
I bet you hated Jquery.
Haha, I accepted it! But I like the direction things are moving in terms of readability.
Only to a beginner level but I had a crack at Vue recently and - as my first attempt at using a framework - was pleasantly surprised! How're you finding it?
I'm liking it. It's certainly fast to get up and running/start to use.
This post from @aspittel is amazing for learning Vue!
A Complete Beginner's Guide to Vue

It’s a great one for sure :)
Yay, it's quick to get going, but it's also quite powerful as you dig in further.
How do you feel about single file components? I think that's the best thing coupled with the scoped css.
I’m amenable to both!
I want to play around with crystal-lang.org/ sometime soon
GraphQL. The hype makes me wanna join in, but I just don't feel like I need it yet. I guess I just haven't worked on any project large enough to warrant it
You could try creating a standalone GraphQL API instead of a RESTful one. One of the jobs I did the only thing Express was doing was running Apollo server, everything else was pure GraphQL API.
A fun experiment to try it out is to find a public REST API, ideally something that can be modeled with some sort of type system (my recommendation: the PokéAPI), run some queries to get familiar with it, then build a GraphQL layer in front of it. Gets you familiarized with GraphQL types and resolvers and such. There's a slight learning curve at the beginning, but it's not bad, and it's a very nice interface to query once it's set up!
Awesome suggestion. I'll definitely try this out
If you want a really clean way to play around with GraphQL make a Gatsby project and throw in some kind of static content.
When you spin up the project for development it generates an additional localhost endpoint that consists of a stand alone GraphQL playground (think postman for REST).
A Gatsby + GraphQL combo is exactly what I had in mind when thinking of learning graphQL :D
I would personally suggest you to start with a crud project involving authentication and authorisation. Covers pretty much the basic necessities for a base.
Elixir with Poenix framework, didn't have time to first impressions yet, but its seems that the active record(ecto) is a bit hard to get used with.
I liked ecto a lot when I first started using it, because its API is very explicit i was able to pick it up quickly, especially compared to activerecord.
Great to know, I'm comming from python/Django, hope I have the same feeling that you had.
I am planning on learning TypeScript - but have not found anything I really like yet as a tutorial or explanation.
GraphQL in depth - I know it but I want to become a deeper expert along with React
Not so new, but Ruby. I understand it's a really clean-feeling language. But I'm worried JS/TS will leave it behind.
Been meaning to pick it up here too. I feel like a lot of folks still like it's syntax over Javascript/Typescript so I think it will still have a place for a while to come. I still haven't gotten over the syntax yet, and our codebase has a bunch of things going on where I feel like I am just intimidated.
Don't see Ruby disappearing anytime soon so learn away!
I don't really have a need for it yet, but learning Python is in my bucket list. I've heard so many good things from it. Perhaps I could learn it to automate much of my daily tasks... 🤔
Golang! I started to read a few books on O'Reilly, but haven't coded in it yet
Just going to leave this here...
github.com/quii/learn-go-with-tests
Well well well, don't mind if I do
I'm finishing The Go Programming Language, a bit dense sometimes, but a good must have.
React plus Python 🐍 I always get a start but can’t find the time to go in depth
That's a lot! React and Python both bring with themselves a lot of stuff to learn, doing them together might be quite a feat 😂
Indeed I think I will stick with React for now as a JS guy this has the most direct impact. There were just a nice deal on a Mosh Hamedani course on Python that was hard to resist 😂
Alright I’m going back and staying in my Javascript lane 😀
No no be in all the lanes, just take it easy 😂😂
I wish indeed 😉 Bandwidth is hard to come by these days. But in reality I’m very proficient with Angular and I want to work my way up that way with React . Python would be more of a hobby at this point something to learn with my kid during her school vacation.
That would be lovely indeed!
Flutter. Started to learn it.bit like a js callback hell.
