Heyy, I’m learning programming and trying to choose a focus, I saw you can make web/backend w node, desktop (bloatware but discord uses it so if it works it works), games (not AAA and not optimized for performance but it shouldn’t matter for indie too much) Is there anything that compares? I wanna focus on one thing instead of spreading myself over a ton of languages, I do feel js is interesting for this, but I’m just starting out, so looking to hear some thoughts of people more familiar with programming.

    While this is true, I will say there are some languages built for very specific problems that make poor tools for general use.

    Trying to build a distributed web app in Matlab or Mathematica would either be a flex or a complete waste of time, for instance.
