My Wild Ride Through the World of Programming Languages: From C# Heartbreak to Java Love Affair

Introduction

Ah, the world of programming languages—it’s like a dating pool, except instead of swiping left or right, you’re smashing your head against the keyboard until something finally works. Over the past 14 years, I’ve had my fair share of heartbreaks, love affairs, and one-night stands with various languages. From C# to Python, Java to TypeScript, and even a torrid fling with Markdown, my journey has been anything but dull.
