I build compilers as a hobby. Professionally I have worked on backend webservices mostly. I have experience in a lot of languages, technologies, and generally learn new things pretty fast.

This is a great teaching and learning tool.

By the time I learned how to use the project I also learned that it wasn't any good for the job. API changes frequently, high overhead, little room for extensions.
-
Python taught me that programming doesn't need to be difficult. As a language designer I always aspire for most things to just be as simple as a Python app.

This project is a workhorse and it is really easy to overlook how much effort it takes to maintain this project.
-
My development process is sometimes really sloppy. I rely so heavily on git to keep me on track and it does a great job.

It is interesting for Javascript to be available for backend development. I could see this being great for someone who just wants to use one language for all code. Not ideal for me personally, but I could see a lot of people liking it.

OCaml is great for learning functional programming. Eager evaluation also makes it practically fairly useful. Performance is good.
-
Rust is pretty fun to work with. It has support for a lot of OOP things and a few Functional things. Performance is very good. Embedded works great.

I wrote this. I like how it turned out though there is still a lot of room for improvement.
