I’d suggest reading their (free, online) book if you haven’t already, that’s what motivated me to actually try using it. It sells its core features pretty well and eased me into it better than just trying to grok the syntax. What kept me using it is how annoyingly frequently my code would _just work_ once I got it compiling, which I could often get to pretty quickly by catching errors early with a linter. I’d highly recommend giving it an honest try, the aesthetics make sense with a minimal amount of experience.

As we transition to an era of LLM-generated code, it also means that once the LLM gets it to compile, it likely works.

I am definitely interested in working with it more. It's obviously a fantastic modern language. It just has warts to me. Ones that make learning it a little off-putting in specific domains.

I mostly expose myself to it, at the moment, through benchmark work which highlights how competitive of a good language it is.
