I discovered Julia. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I've learned it, but it hits all the pain points I've had with every other language. It honestly feels like a gift from the universe that shouldn't, by rights, exist; a fast, dynamic, elegant language that seems to do The Right Thing at every turn. I do believe it will gradually eat the world, in the way that Python did.

I've already replaced some little utilities I wrote in C with Julia equivalents. They were easier to write, handle errors more gracefully, and run several times faster (because free multithreading).

I'm the exact same with Crystal, the next era of languages will feel like the current age of pragmatism of Ruby/Python but fast and multithreaded
