I do not consider myself good enough to use or reply in Spanish. I tried to learn Russian a few years ago but abandoned because I had no use for it.\nMy Favorite Technologies Python (with Flask, SQLite3, BeautifulSoup4\u0026hellip;) - I used it for the majority of my projects, after realizing that Python was never really made for everything I was using it for - and so it\u0026rsquo;s particularly slow compared to other equally simple languages. Nowadays, I\u0026rsquo;m looking to replace it, even though it\u0026rsquo;s still a good technology. PHP (with Apache and MySQL) - I also used it for a long time to create websites of all sizes - and I never encountered any downsides. It\u0026rsquo;s often faster than Python and it\u0026rsquo;s the only language available on many free and paid hosting services. Forgejo and Git (Git server) - for a long time, I didn’t want to use Git due to its apparent complexity, but eventually, I set up my own Forgejo server and started using Git for all my projects - and I’ve never regretted it since. SvelteKit (and Svelte in general) - although I’m not yet a pro in Svelte and SvelteKit (and I often forget basic techniques and functions), I quite like how Svelte and SvelteKit work compared to other frameworks like React and VueJS. I even rewrote a large application I was developing with Flask and Jinja to use ExpressJS for the back-end and SvelteKit for the front-end! Technologies I Would Like to Learn Node (with ExpressJS and Sequelize) - in order to replace Python, I’ve started using Node for some projects - for now, I don’t know how to use it well and I’m still learning how the basics of Express and Sequelize work, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it. C/C++ (with GCC/GlibC) - since a large portion of open-source projects use C and C++, I absolutely need to learn them someday - but when? I have a lot to do, both academically and in personal projects. Also, to learn, you have to practice - but I can’t seem to come up with project ideas that would benefit from these languages. Rust - for reasons similar to C and C++, but it\u0026rsquo;s worth mentioning that Rust is designed to be simpler and safer in memory management, which is a great benefit, and it could allow me to stop avoiding opportunities to write more performant code just because memory management is\u0026hellip; complicated. Golang - even though Node is more performant than Python, Golang seems like the best replacement for Python - it was actually created by Google teams to replace dynamic programming languages, including Python - but I haven’t learned it yet because it’s quite different from other programming languages, requiring you to provide types for variables and functions, and other things I\u0026rsquo;m not used to.
