How is it working in other ecosystems than .NET?

5 points by milleniall 3 years ago | 4 comments

Working in .NET can be mentally challenging process a lot of times. The overhead, aligning packages, updating Visual Studio. In general dealing with Microsoft. Some people love it. I don`t anymore and i am thinking of pivoting to a different programming-language and ecosystem.

I am just wondering what is it like working in something like:

- GO? - Rust? - C? - Java?

I am forced to work in the MATLAB ecosystem. Basically there is no ecosystem outside mathworks released products. There are some open source projects but none of them add any major functionality. If your project needs anything that is not standard numerical computing, you only have the mathworks tools which are often deficient and designed for lowest common denominator of programmers. Compiling in matlab is just translating the source file into a binary format. I work on a legacy codebase which is old enough to think about settling down and planting some roots in a suburb. Due to this its a mix of all evolving paradigms and syntax matlab has tried over the last couple decades. I hate that I know this much about this toy language and I have made/saved millions for companies by delivering programs in this language.

So basically, don't switch to matlab.

You'll have one headache less: licensing...everything else is the same shit

Also JetBrains products are much nicer than Visual Studio

Having worked in Go, C, and Java I'd say the easiest by far right now is Golang. It may seem trivial, but even the insanely fast compile times of Go make life just seem more pleasant.
