Heh, this grandpa has written like 3x more python than C this year. And the C part was no choice - that was all I had on these devices.

Edit: from what I hear from my peers (translation: other programmers that I have coffee or drinks with), if I started a new server application today and I needed the performance of a compiled language, I should use Go not Rust.

I believe servers are where the propensity of C like languages to allow you to shoot yourself in the foot is the problem, isn't it?

Servers and many CLI tools, yes. Buffer overflows and memory unsafety are really easy to allow there for everyone but absolutely Godlike C/C++ devs.

Golang, Rust, Nim, Zig, and a few others are a much better fit nowadays.
