If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men. #inspiration #quotes #bahai
What's up everybody?
Doin' some stuff.

Quick fediverse diversity survey: who here speaks English as a second language? What is your mother tongue? What other languages do you speak?

@dragfyre I prefer vanilla javascript on top of HTML5 with CSS3. For productivity I have created my own cross-browser polyfill library.

Ok folks. What's your favourite language / framework for web apps? Throw 'em at me, perhaps with a brief rationale. (And feel free to boost this. 🎺) #webdev

@noorul @dragfyre Please allow me to suggest #Clojure.
Why Clojure? - https://clojure.org/about/rationale
Have a try at clojure http://clojurescriptkoans.com/
Comprehensive nutshell -
https://yogthos.github.io/ClojureDistilled.html
Clojure is used by small dev teams to develop and deploy applications at lightning speeds which are performant and scalable (#JVM). It also has access to the entire #Java ecosystem.

Let's start with HTML5, CSS3, minimal Javacript/ Jquery,
Postgresql/ Sqlite,
Python/Django, for moderator scale and performance project,
Nodejs is fine for small apps.

To be honest though, I've been rolling a project idea around in my head ever since I started learning more about the #fediverse. And it's a project that I'd actually find really useful, too. Maybe with a little effort...?
Ideas are dangerous sometimes.
Especially when you get an awesome idea and you know you really have zero time to work on making it happen. 😅
