This year, I learned Swift, Prolog, and Rust, to varying degrees. Besides (sigh) Java, what should I learn next year?

What are your tweet-sized takeaways from the various langs?

Swift: It doesn't matter if you get the paradigms right if your frameworks were built thirty years and a language or two ago. Built every feature that occurred to them, giving each new syntax.

Prolog I spent the least time with. With modern tooling/IDE and built over a relational db, I think logic programming is very promising. But I don't know quite what a large-scale code base would look like; most docs are academic and conceptual.

Rust is amazing. Designers' restraint and clarity of vision established a culture of thoughtfulness. We struggled a bit with ergonomics but these just got a lot better. Move/borrow semantics make data flow clearer.
