@nolan@toot.cafe I realize that most programmers, working at a company at the bottom of the org chart, probably don't have the freedom to choose one of these alternate paths I've mentioned. In my current position, I might. Still, I might freak out my non-technical cofounder if I choose to use some esoteric programming language rather than TypeScript, Rust, or Elixir. But those latter two do have practical, built-in options for metaprogramming.
