Leaving my decade-long job at Google at the end of the month, and am going to be taking some time to have "fun" and hopefully get my love for coding back. So I like this thread.

Am I messed up for finding modern C++ on Linux with CLion to be "most fun"? Is there hope for me?

Zig looks fun. Elixir looks fun. I thought Julia would be fun -- because I like multiple dispatch -- but I didn't find it "fun."

I want to love Rust and have been following it for years but as much as I like the language I don't find borrow checking "fun". Which is arguably a good thing, but maybe not good for language adoption.

Have you looked at Clojure?

Definitely fun.
