Last year I used mainly crystal. This year I'm thinking pharo smalltalk, if I can pick it up in time

I also want to do visualizations, not sure how possible that is with smalltalk.

I am glad to hear that :) I have friends who don't cherish their accomplishments so maybe I was just in that headspace. Sorry for assuming.

Yeah, I started to learn to code with JS and the whole thing seemed to be, and I don't intent to be insulting, amateurish. Not something I would expected from engineers who try to be efficient and pride themselves with that.

Kinda lost interest in the whole thing because everything seemed so needlessly complicated and fast changing.

But a few weeks ago I started to pick up rust and it seems to have a lot more thought put into it.

The installation process is straight forward, the compiler pretty much tells you what you did wrong, tools are easy to set up and the name of the language is cool^^
