Rust.
Better, faster, easier-to-make applications.
I'm only lightly buttered; hopefully that won't be an issue. :þ
So far, the advent of AI and how it seems to have filtered into everything wee do. The fact that hardly can a person who makes use of the internet go a full internet session without making use of at least one AI tool.
I am excited about the next few versions of products using AI and writing. Every new product becomes more personal and intuitive. I am energized by what we could come up with to educate, entertain, or express a better life for other people.
ReScript is an incredible alternative to Typescript. It's based on OCaml and shares a lot of features with Rust like a strong type system, Option and Result types, variant types and pattern matching.
The compiler is crazy fast and it blows TS out of the water from a DX perspective. You don't have to add type annotations everywhere and pattern matching and variant types reduce the amount of code I write by a significant amount. If it compiles I feel pretty good about it actually working, which is something I don't get from TS.
Add to this Vite and all the wonderful speed and simplicity that ecosystem brings and it's a different world from where I was 5 years ago.
I find IoT and Quantum-computing exciting with endless possibilities.
I am looking forward to AI Spam Filtering. I can see spam in seconds by looking at the first words of the subject and I am really interested when AI will be almost as "clever".
