Why did you forgot Nim? Is it a player?

Thank you for answer. You helped me.

So warm topic.

I have almost 40+ and what I know definitely that nothing can be true thing in our job. Today you on the wave, in 10 years this wave is deprecated.

I can feel self pity about different desicions but when look at my path with sober mind I see that nothing can be deffirently.

The main thing is energy. If you have it you do not care how old are you. But industry is full of bias about devs age. So let's they go hell.

I am definitely happy that decided to learn programming in my 13.

I regret that didn't pay attention enough to math and physics to have a more interesting background than just software development. And now I am learning, returning to the roots. 😄

I have 20 years of full-time job and looking for time for a hobby. Firstly it was a hobby also, but now I am bored with making the same project for 16 years, I want to try other fields, and learning new tech is my hobby.

I have been working in webdev for 20 years and have enough income. But, I am so bored with this commercial project. Just want a hobby and something real, near to hardware, starting learning C and game dev, backend math and physics. It's interesting.

Nim has beautiful syntax. But does it has a lot of tools?

No. And what? I made a million errors and I am still alive.

But the time machine has been written in C so you could not return back and had to write a C compiler from scratch. Here the story about returning to the roots begins...

What is memory safety? You as a programmer must control what you are doing. Right?

Software written by some (not you) developers using high level tools can be written by AI and will be soon.

Let's learn C to not loose your job, lol.

I expected such reactions. Thank you all for your answers. We are living in the stream. Every one of us has his own. And circumstances restrict us from changing these streams. What you are feeling when reading this post is your mind's memory safety. :) I also feel pain when someone is trying to say that my way may be wrong. But I did not tell you that your way is wrong. I also have my way restricted by the fact that I need to earn money for my family. And I hate this fact, and that I can't change my stream just by one click.

You should not switch to the C, it will be very dangerous. We just can be aware that all can be different and use this knowledge on our way.

Thank you for your answer. There are a lot of startups and good open repos in Rust nowadays and it seems this intention will only grow. Finally, only community and business preferences define how much cool staff will be made with programming language. I do not like the hype around Rust and like the simplicity of the C syntax. And I think we need to use languages for their appointments. Learn Rust, learn C, and use them in different projects. Switching between technologies helps avoid burnout and learn new things to keep your interest fresh.

I noticed that Rust makes me more tired than JavaScript, C, or even C# (which I hate). I think this is related to its complexity and some undefined state of mind every time. The compiler is boring, and things behind the scenes are boring. At least you want to switch to something more simple and clear like JS or C.

I have installed gcc and Raylib from msys2.

And compile my code with it using:

gcc test.c -lraylib -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm
