Go or Elixir?

Till now? Did Rust get a new book?

Not that i know. I simply dont want to learn a language again without a proper guide. I already wrote some things one or two years ago in go with the gopl book. But with my missing programmer-background i simply didnt get some concepts and wrote clunky code. Also i got anoyed by the GOPATH. If i would choose go again, i would go with another book with more exercises etc.

try haskell

>C/C++/C#: Probably overkill for me, since i dont really need low-level programming for my kind of tasks.

C# is not low-level at all. Think Java, but more comfy.

Yes, yes. Was a stupid idea to combine them. Still i am not really interested in C# since i mainly use Linux and am not really interested in diving into C#. Dunno why.

Look up mono, if you want to.

It depends. Golang has more traditional thread control and is easy if you have a lot of experience with C.

Elixir seems interesting, and seems more like what you're used to. Also FP

Depends on what you'd rather learn: Traditional multithreading paradigms, or functional programming.

wat

Rust.

If you ever want to be employed you should try learning ocaml, scala and f#. They pair well with c, java and c#. Elixr is just hipster trash.

I don't believe you should learn a language just for the sake of it. If you have a project idea and you want to write it in a new language because it's better for the job then that makes more sense.

For back end you can't go wrong with Go. If you want to stick to functional then learn Elixir. If you want to learn the next big thing in the frontend space then I highly recommend Dart.

Also .NET Core and .NET Standard 2.0 will solve that gap.
C# is ultra comfy, I know C/C++, Java, Scala, Scheme, VB, PHP, a little bit of Python, a very small bit of Go, tried to learn Elixir/F# but didn't have enough time and still C# is my favorite.
