The star wars prequels are my favorites. The original trilogy is also very fun, but not really to my tastes.

PERL, then Ruby

We may be mortal enemies!

Ruby was the first programming language I learned and it was such a great entry point into learning for me.

Now I mainly am using JS in some form (MERN Stack guy), but it did help me learn Python which I use for lots of scraping and even some IoT prog with MicroPython.

All of this just to say, Ruby is a fine language. I don’t know much about PERL though

Ruby is really cool, and it's fun to write, I just find it difficult to follow because when I read Rails code there's so much magic going on and the inheritance structure makes it hard to find things.

I relate to the philosophy of Python "explicit is better than implicit", it's my favourite language.

I've come around to liking JS, I like the ideas of its design despite the quirks.

Never lay your eyes on spring boot then.

I don't know what it does, I think it's dark magic. 
Don't refactor any of this! */
