@quinze "Brain already drifting elsewhere before unit tests execute" — this hit hard. Build speed is absolutely part of "kindness" for me too.

Slow feedback loops kill focus.

@quinze This is exactly the kind of detail I'm looking for — thank you.

Sum types + pattern matching feel like a superpower. And yeah, nil pointer exceptions are rough.

Good to know samber/lo helps — I'll check it out.

@hatysa This is exactly the kind of real-world experience I needed. Thank you.

"Reboot working memory" after months away — that's the goal. That's what I'm trying to build with Axis.

Right now I'm still exploring — Odin, Rust, Zig, and even Java are in the mix. Hearing how Go works for you is really helpful context.

Appreciate you taking the time!

@gooba42 @josejfernandez I really want to use an IDE, I just simply can't pick one. IntelliJ, Visual Studio. They feel "bloated" to me.

@quinze This is incredibly helpful — thank you.

"Working memory demand" is exactly the framing I needed. Your Go vs Rust macros/"go to definition" point really resonates.

This reinforces what I'm building with Axis — predictable, discoverable, low-magic.

Given Go's philosophy works for you, do you ever miss features, or is the simplicity itself the win?

Really appreciate you writing this out.

@d1 Zig looks super interesting to me honestly. I was looking at it and Odin at the same time.

@sitcom_nemesis I haven't been able to click with Python. I've been jumping languages like I distro-hop for ~10 years. I keep coming back to Rust but learning is a significant struggle for me. So I'm trying to find something that works better with my brain

@d1 Python doesn't click with me and C looks scary! I don't even want to touch JS or C++ honestly

@catboi29 You've sold me on the imagery alone. What does Common Lisp actually *feel* like to use day-to-day? Is the quirkiness charming or frustrating?

@d1 Bash is honest about what it is — no pretenses. Do you ever find yourself wanting something higher-level, or does Bash cover most of what you need?

@Nours Rust has been my goto for awhile. Python doesn't click with me.

@josejfernandez @gooba42 IDE weight mostly — Visual Studio/Rider feel heavy compared to lightweight editors I use for other languages. Do you use something lighter? Or does the tooling just fade into the background after a while?

@gooba42 I haven't tried C/C++, though memory management really isn't something I want to think about, let alone tackle. I mostly just don't like the syntax. stdin/stdout etc. it all looks very... confusing to be honest.

@gooba42 I am self-taught everything. Though I don't learn like everyone else and learning is actually quiet difficult for me. I started with Java -> C# -> Rust and now I am trying Odin. Though I toyed with other languages Python/GDScript (Godot) and Go.

@gooba42 Also: I love C# syntax but the ecosystem weight worries me. How's your experience with that?

@gooba42 I've been trying to pick a language that doesn't fight with me. I really enjoy Rust but it's hard to learn. I just found Odin and it's interesting. C/C++ looks too complicated for me.

Neurodivergent devs: what languages actually *click* for your brain? Not popularity — what feels kind, predictable, low-cognitive-load? Why?

I'm building a framework for ND devs and want real experiences. Rust? Go? Odin? Python? Something else?

Tell me what works (or doesn't) for you.
