At some point down the road retrocomputing will include using Python 2

Not a fan of Python; as a language snob, I can't think of any interesting contribution Python brought, except for an extremely convoluted infrastructure that breaks old code on updates... Also, no tail recursion. Blub.

The thought of this makes me shudder.
Someday, Rust will be retro too! That's just the way things work. :)

I gotta stop getting old
There is only one way to stop getting old...
@stack Agreed! Dart all the way, amiright? Okay, probably not going to get too much support around here for this one ;)
You can try it on the interblogs, if curious.
I'll just leave this here ;)

@Morgan It looks like C# 👍
@Addison it should be one of the easiest modern languages to learn, think Java without the rough edges :) e.g. no primitive types or arrays, simplified class/member visibility, collaborative scheduling and isolates instead of multithreading.

@Morgan That's arguably still very similar to C#.
I've seen good work done with Flutter. Dart looks promising for sure.
@DocEdelgas yes :) I don't know C# well, but I believe it ;)
