Same. Python always seemed like it was cobbled together poorly. While to me, Ruby seemed to be elegant experience.

I used Ruby because I really don't like the "programming part" - but the "I'm creating a product ASAP, the language is the method of having to do so" part.

I drank the Go koolaid (hoping for a C++ variant) but felt like I was using C or Assembly (har) in having to recreate practically everything ground up.



I could never stand Go. So much boilerplate. Literally designed to appeal to the most inexperienced developer. Write 4 times as much code to do the same amount of work as 1 line of Elixir or any functional language... Gross.
