I'll have some alone time and would like to make some coding progress; things have slowed while I learn Ansible.<br>
<br>
What has my interest is the mental perception I have of different languages. Ruby, and to a slightly lesser extent PHP, are just fun. Go, and C, are more academic and I find them powerful and dreary. Python is somewhere in the middle and Perl, once my language of choice, now makes me physically nauseous.<br>
<br>
Does anyone else have this perception, even if the reaction to the same languages is different? More to the point, what can be done to alter the personal reception of a language? Ruby makes me want to code, C makes me want to sleep. Python makes me read e-mail to recover.<br>
