@gravecat i loooove it ;w;
it's got a little bit of a learning curve to it, especially with lifetime stuff and the borrow checker, but it's so worth it imo
@gravecat i've dabbled with all kindsa stuff. started with Python when i was 10 or so (in the, uh, 2000s >~>) then switched to Ruby, then back to Python, while learning lots of other languages
my current resume lists Python, Rust, C, C#, MIPS and x86 ASM, Scheme, and Haskell
have also worked with a lot of JS, some Ruby and Java, a smidgen of PHP, and a bunch of weird esolangs
@gravecat ooh, i want to learn 6502 ASM! i'd love to do homebrew stuff for NES and/or C64; retrocomputing is a huge interest of mine
@gravecat i've poked at it a tiny tiny bit while learning about the NES' technical specifications for the purpose of designing my own processor for a fantasy console >>
it is pretty simple; i imagine the simplicity is part of why the 6502 got used in so many different systems
@gravecat haha, yeah, it's a trip
i think you'd have fun with Haskell; it'll break you over its knee a little bit if you're not already familiar with functional programming, but once you're used to it it's so satisfying to code in
@gravecat heck yessss you'll love Haskell then, i highly recommend looking into it
