For work I currently use C and python mainly, and for some personal projects I've been using python backends with JS/Vue frontends.
I really enjoy Python, but as I use it more I've found the quality of the docs to be an impediment. They're hard to reference quickly.
I really want to start using Rust, but it's not really applicable to the kinds of projects I'm currently working on. I've started picking up some Clojure and PHP for two open source projects that I've started contributing to.
this, and the need to understand the wordpress core, pushed me into php long ago; python used to be my primary language.
since about the beginning of the year, php docs now are often behind captchas. i don't know what in my environment triggers them, but i know they trigger me, and so i've been refactoring things back into python. mediocre and accessible docs >> somewhat better docs behind captchas. it's impossible to navigate the changes for change's sake between php 7 and 8 when you keep getting stopped to identify which fuzzy photo is of a dust cloud.
these are my home projects. for work, it's typescript/js/react against java/spring back end. i code mostly the front end now, but since i've also done java, i can make better tickets when there's a back-end problem :)
