Comment on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning a new programming language?

Comments

I found myself losing interest but for different reasons. A different magic tool besides LLMs that promised to solve problems I never had, but which has become necessary as most job adverts called for it.

Reactive.

Not just React itself, but the paradigm, so also SwiftUI.

I never had a problem with "massive ViewControllers", the magic that's supposed to glue it all together is just a little bit fragile and hard to debug when it does break, and the syntactic sugar (at least for SwiftUI) is just self-similar enough for me to keep mixing it up.

But learning new languages? Nah, I'm currently learning/getting experience with JavaScript and ruby by code-reviewing LLM output.
