Thanks a lot! Tried to do my best here 🙂

Thanks! Will continue to do more 😊

as a person who mostly works right now with Apple ecosystem now I can say that Swift is not very good outside of macOS/iOS development. It's not good even for iOS/macOS currently too. Yes, they trying to make it a general purpose language, but trying to do that they made many mistakes. Currently Swift is not that good as it was around Swift 4. I have to use it a lot and it is sad how it became worse. Swift was one of reasons I switched to iOS/macOS development years ago. No one will use Swift for backend for real. It's not good, not many people have backend + Swift experience, all Swift server frameworks are immature. With Swift 6 they making things even worse. Many language features are in incomplete state still. E.g, "generics" in Swift really weird. SPM is far away from being good tool and compilation time is not good to. New concurrency is buggy and I'm worried how many problems we will face with that. I really wish Swift will gain more popularity and become general purpose language, I enjoy using it mostly, but unfortunately is getting worse. Recent talk between Primagean and Christ Latner I would say supports this :(

btw, thank you very much for you comment, I appreciate the interest in my channel and your desire to write a comment :) I always think that writing a comment under the video is the highest engagement from a viewer

Hey! That depends on what you want to develop 🙂 But if I would compare them detached from any area - I would go with Kotlin instead of Java to start with

But one expert told me to learn Kotlin instead of Java I became confused 😞 @@_RomanV_

Sorry, maybe I wrote incorrectly. My suggestion was to start with Korlin🙂

more clarification I don't know anything about programming languages But I decide to learn Which programming language should I learn first? Kotlin vs Java @@_RomanV_

In that case if you want to choose between specifically Java and Kotlin - start from Kotlin, not Java

From my perspective I would say it is harder to find jobs with RoR comparing with Python+ I know just couple of projects around me (ex-colleagues, friends) where codebase is written with RoR and they trying to get rid of RoR for various reasons. For me personally Ruby has tooo much syntax sugar :)

@@_RomanV_ That I can get on board with! I guess I got lucky because I learned ruby when it was way more popular. And with its simplicity, it did help me a lot getting into the field. I still think it's a great entry language, but indeed not for getting a job - everyone's looking for senior ruby devs, no junior roles available. Thank you for a great video!

@@savagor thank you very much for support🙂

@@anton_verdi funny (not really) thing - I still have to deal with Ruby ecosystem because for some reasons ruby was picked to be scripting language for Apple's platforms. Stuff like cocoapods and fastlane. Just yesterday I had to write some ruby. But yes, it is just small addition and I don't know much projects today that would use Ruby as primary language

Hey! Yes, I would say Python due to it's libraries like NumPy and others. Plus, I know that "R" language is used quite often in that areas.

C/C++/Rust/Haskell, ASM😅. I would recommend that you try all the programming languages a little bit to determine which syntax you like best, it could be Javascript or C#. and look at the direction in which you want to work. For me personally, C++ turned out to be the most suitable; it looks attractive and stylish to me, but it takes a very long time to learn.

​@@allmight3600I would say that ASM is too much for original request in this thread :D

Hey! thanks for your comment :) Regarding Rust. In this video I wanted to suggest languages which can help you to cover many different areas and if you pick some of them - you can find jobs easier. Even that Rust is cool language - it is still pretty niche. It is not used in so many places yet, so I would not advice to learn it as first programming language with goal to find a job.

goroutines and channels might be tricky to use for a beginner. The same with manual memory management, with typescript you don't have to think about such things.

@@_RomanV_ ah I see. In my head, those features are necessary for performance and can be used for more advanced developper. It's not like Rust that force you to know about memory management even in the case of simple programs. But it's true that those features can be more daunting than typescript

Why do you think that?

@@_RomanV_ Go is indeed very simplistic, down to the syntax. Any programmer from a different language can look at Go code and have a good idea what the code is doing. It's simple, bare and only takes like a few days to a week to be proficient enough to start building stuff in Go. Java has a lot more features and concepts to master the language compared to Go.

Okay, now I understand what you mean :) The purpose of this video is to help to choose first programming language. E.g., what you said "Any programmer from a different language can look at Go code and have a good idea what the code is doing." And I do agree that if you already have some experience in programming Go might be easier to understand that some Spring magic from Java world. Although goroutines could drive even experience developers crazy in the beginning :) But I tried to look from perspective of novice person. And for me Go, C# and Java are relatively on the same level because all of them have stuff that are easy to learn and hard parts. The parts are just different in my perspective. E.g, thinking about semi-manual memory management usually tricky for beginners vs having a GC that are usually pretty good in cleaning memory mess.

But I do appreciate your opinion 🙂 thanks

thank you very much! Regarding languages. If you want to focus purely on backend development for next couple of years - I would go with Go. More and more companies rewrite their backend in Go If you not 100% sure with backend you can do Kotlin - to possible switch for Android. (but it feels like amount of Kotlin on the backend is less then Go, but I am not sure, did not check that) C# - if you want to try GameDev with Unity. TypeScript - I would not advise to use TS for backend development. Only if you want to do Frontend

😊 thanks a lot roman :) keep it up .

thank you very much :)
