I know it's shit, but should I learn node.js? Every other sever-side solution seems to get the same amount of hate and I really need to put more shit on my resume so I can have a decent job once I graduate.

IDK man. Lots of hindus like node.js. Might be good if you get a leadership role but if you want to compete for salary, probably bad from where I'm looking at.

What about Rust? Jersh likes it.

@nerdman I realized that none of the programming work I done over the years is resume worthy. I mostly did a bunch of gamedev stuff and there is no way I'm getting a gamedev job where I'm living.

The only other things I did was web dev stuff. Last time I did it, I used PHP but that is increasingly becoming obsolete. I need to get some sort of resume booster because I'm graduating this semester.

@xianc78

PHP obsolete? Huh. I just the other day killed 2 node.js apps with this PHP app I work with because my and my team can develop 3-4 times faster than the hindu node.js guys.

But yeah, PHP is looked down upon these days.
@xianc78 don't do webdev (thank god) so disregard my opinion, but I would choose Elixir without a second thought. Functional, concurrency baked into the very fabric of the language (itself aided by being functional), macros, just all around far superior (again, on paper, in my inexperienced opinion) to any other option.

@sukapon I didn't even know what Elixir was until I heard that Pleroma was written in it.

@xianc78 @sukapon Pleroma would be way more popular and would have way more contributors if it were written in a mainstream programming language.

@caekislove @sukapon I find it weird that so many people refer to the entire Fediverse as "Mastodon". They don't seem to be aware that other software exists for the network.

@xianc78 @sukapon Especially since mastodon dot social has walled itself off from any instance that doesn't have the same Terms of Service as them, defeating the entire original purpose of federation.
@xianc78 If you want to work with a bunch of niggers and women, sure. I personally don't like JS as a language, but if you have job goals that involve it there is no reason to not learn it. Just know, the majority of your co-workers will be niggers and trannies and women.
