    Hell I’m in the “C++ is hard” stage but that doesn’t mean we should just downgrade everything to Electron.

      Keep at it, eventually things will click and you might find yourself appreciating the compiler errors and type strictness. Perhaps you’ll even spend time getting rid of warnings even though it will let you run without doing that, because they indicate edge cases that might break your program in difficult to debug ways.

        I’m a Ruby on Rails developer that’s been doing this for so many years. I experiment in Crystal from time to time but I haven’t had the time in quite awhile to set aside to learn something new. I have an entire course on Swift bought and paid for but with all the side projects I have going on it’s been tough.

          Yeah, time is always the hard part.

          It’s all kinda the same btw. Like you’ll have different sytax and styles, but most languages have variables, loops, conditionals, functions, objects, inheritance, APIs to access OS functions like files and network, etc.
