In my experience, I worked with [insert language or ecosystem here] for a project that, while educational, was quite challenging. The primary issue was [mention specific problems or limitations, e.g., lack of community support, outdated libraries, steep learning curve]. The tools and frameworks in that ecosystem didn't align well with my workflow, and the inefficiencies made the development process frustrating. Although it was a valuable learning experience, I’d prefer to focus on more modern or supportive technologies in the future. It’s all part of the journey of finding what best suits your preferences and work style.
Probably PHP, but due to the market demands, esp with Laravel, it's highly unlikely.
Android Studio. Probably it's only my own experience, but every time that I tried to do some app dev using Java everything gets too verbose, heavy, and difficult to escalate, I've had a better experience using React native, maybe the performance isn't the same (I didn't noticed any difference), but the app can be exported also to iOS without rewriting everything from scratch and having 2 different codebases.
When you have to use native features on Android using React Native (RN), what will you do ? I am still planning to resume learning on RN, but from what I have read in its doc, this can be done using something like a bridge from RN to native code written in Java or Kotlin. But, for better understanding of using this approach, I myself need to learn Java or Kotlin before able to do this.
Either python or perl.
Python showed me the definition of dependency hell.
Perl did nothing but depends management well for me
LabVIEW.
My first ever SE job was a Uniface Developer. This was a few years ago so perhaps it's improved, but I wouldn't recommend the Uniface I experienced to anybody!

I am currently also working partly with Uniface 10. It is difficult to find a solution on the Internet. In a search there are no results or perhaps only 1 result.
Foxpro/Visual Foxpro.
I don't mind the environment, but it's been discontinued, which I didn't know when I took my current job.
I myself wouldn't mind using FoxPro 2.6 for DOS again. I learnt its "brother" : Clipper, too, but never used it.
@10, 20 say "This tools is the 1st one from which I earned money" :)
Thanks to memorable days when I used it long time ago.
I think I still remember the stuffs like : scatter memvar, gather memvar, define windows, activate windows, .....
and its 4 words for short forms of its commands.
AngularJS, backboneJS, Play framework (Java version), and even possibly plain JavaScript.
Definitely VHDL. I hope I will never touch it again.
Go. I just didn't catch on their error handling.
Uh... please, don't discourage me... I plan to learn it intensively after reading good things some people said about it. I want to use it as a replacement for PHP.
