Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Rust is the easiest programming language to learn.

Granted, I'm autistic, but still. I found it far more intuitive than JavaScript or Python.

Bonus: HTML and JavaScript are evil and I hate webpages that use it. Thats pretty much all of them, to be fair, but markdown websites do exist and I love them

What is usually the suggested "easiest" to learn language? I've always wanted to code well since I was a young kid and recently oldest kid accidentally got me into playing around with LLM and it orchestrated a few little stupid projects that were just basically to make open code more customized most of the time. I'd really like to actually do it myself and know what was going on better. Any suggestions on where to start? Should I just try diving into rust? I know that's what my oldest son actually uses himself, although I guess he does outsource a little of his stuff to it at LLM but.. I'd love to learn a language so I can do more than just a hello world in. Although maybe I should finish learning how to actually type better first lol

Honestly if you're starting from scratch, I'd say learn rust. It's not that hard if it's your first language because you don't have to unlearn stuffs from other languages. Plus the compilation errors will really teach you what you did wrong how to fix things. And using clippy, it'll tell you how to do things better and remove redundancies.

C is easy to learn in terms of syntax, but it's hard to write correct code as the program gets more complex. Python is easy to write but doesn't teach you much. I find rust as easy to write as python, but c like speed.
