F# and Elixir, mostly.
Started reading in the holidays, both the book and the framework - really good! Very well deserved!

Is this because the tools and libraries are backwards compatible and stable?

I have seen quite a few #clojure libraries that are years old and still used. It's not the same with other languages.

Year 2015/1 is always my first solve every time I attempt #adventofcode in a new language. Took me two languages attempts to realize the CTRL-F trick!

Would be nice to see how 2025 plays out. Looking forward to your posts!

I'd be a "fool" to miss this.

For me too it is #fsharp no contest.

I am not sure I dislike it.

I use DataGrip. And LiveBook for experimentation/exploration.

Could Scala be considered S-tier?

Correction: I meant circa 2020

I'm flying right now so can't see the video, but as someone who worked with multiple languages, I can say #fsharp ticks more boxes than anything. It's as super as a GC language can get. For me it's the best Microsoft product.

Also, it's the most underrated and underappreciated language there is.

For a reminding post like this?

I'll try this library, looks like a nice opportunity to read some F# code (I'm relatively new to it)

Why don't I get those things when I Google for them? I am currently juggling a pipeline of a handful of combinations of S3/CSV/DataFrame/SQL connections. Exploratory and not critical so I might just see if I could turn my exs into fsx

Fli is so great! One of #fsharp 's gems I listed in a blog post urging to consider fsharp. Another gem is FsHttp.
