I admit, I do &lt;strong>dislike Java &amp;hellip;immensely&lt;/strong>. And not only on technical grounds, but even more based on what I perceive as it&amp;rsquo;s community worshipping complexity for it&amp;rsquo;s own sake. Of course IMHO.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>These days new and &lt;strong>truly interesting languages&lt;/strong> are all over the place. &lt;a href="http://rust-lang.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rust&lt;/a>
 and &lt;a href="http://go-lang.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Go&lt;/a>
 are two examples with a lot of momentum, although I personally choose &lt;a href="http://nim-lang.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nim&lt;/a>
 over both.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>And &lt;a href="http://pharo.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smalltalk&lt;/a>
 is still my &amp;ldquo;super productive dynamically typed&amp;rdquo; language of choice, but I just learned about a language that I &lt;strong>really&lt;/strong> think is going places&amp;hellip;&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
