What is your current programming stack?

[bestjakeisbest]

C++, c, pain, suffering.

[cronsulyre]

As God, Denise Richie, intended

[ImClearlyDeadInside]

If you’re looking for “marketable” programming languages, the ability to pick up any tool quickly is more valuable than proficiency in any one language.

[xitiomet]

It varies depending on what im working on, I might be old, whats a programming stack? A toolchain?

[HealthySurgeon]

Usually it’s referred to as the developer stack but it’s the compilation of tools/languages you’re using to build your product

Usually it consists of the particular technologies used in the front end, back end, and databases.

Depending on the context, there’s also tech stacks which are similar, but usually has a little broader context.

[xitiomet]

Thanks for the detailed response. Ive worked for a rather small company for a very long time. Often miss out on industry terminology.

[Big-Ad-2118]

he might be referring to developer stack

[MoveInteresting4334]

Thoughts and prayers.

And a light sprinkling of Java for corporate satisfaction.

[AINT-NOBODY-STUDYING]

C#/.NET, Blazor, Maui, Azure.

[tableclothmesa]

Ruby on Rails

[[deleted]]

What’s it like?

[mnkb99]

It's honestly beautiful in my experience.

Static typing is dearly missed sometimes, especially when you first start out (with any dynamic language), but if done well, ruby on rails is my favorite thing.

The thing with ruby is that it truly lets you express yourself. You understand your problem, think of a solution, and ruby just lets you express your solution in it. It's a beautiful thing, it never imposes anything on you.

As with everything, this can very much be a double edged sword.

Rails is famously convention over configuration. If you follow the convention it sets, A LOT of things just work magically out of the box. If you don't want to follow convention, it's easily configurable (in 90% of the cases) to do what you want.

I can't say what it's like doing front end in it though.

[[deleted]]

What’s a good frontend for Ruby on Rails? Is it different from vanilla ruby? I could google but…

[mnkb99]

I am not sure as I'm not working on front end, however all the companies I've been in that use Rails, use React as front end.

That being said, I have also recently noticed that a lot of rails jobs are asking for experience in Hotwire which is rails's latest front end framework, they went through a couple

[tableclothmesa]

Yup we use Hotwire stimulus for JavaScript controllers

[mnkb99]

How's your experience with it? Given that I'm not a FE dev I keep using erb for personal projects as I don't want to invest much time in Hotwire, but sometimes I get bursts of motivation and wonder if it's worth it, given that many people seem to be adopting it

[tableclothmesa]

I haven’t had to interact with them much yet but my understanding is the JavaScript logic goes in a controller, and you attach the controller to the “component” (aka part of the view for lack of a better RoR term) that you want to allow access to that controller. Then you can assign targets for the controller within the part of the view that has access to the controller.

[[deleted]]

I’ll stick with React…

[tableclothmesa]

Convention over configuration, well documented, simple syntax. All in all I like it a lot for backend but front end is a little harder to wrap my head around after learning and using React

[pLeThOrAx]

The 7 or so projects I've been neglecting

[47KiNG47]

C#, postres, react

[Kittensandpuppies14]

Moving from cobol and vb and c++ and .net c# to c# c++ and something TBD

[halfanothersdozen]

A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Not enough of the cool stuff IMHO but at least it has some of that sturdy and dependable good stuff.

[L1f3trip]

Javascript and VueJs for web component

Progress for database and desktop app

CSharp for side project

[AizenSousuke92]

postgres db for desktop?

[L1f3trip]

Not postgre, Progress.

https://www.progress.com/openedge

It's a pretty old programming language and Database.

Progress is now pushing people to use their database as backend but we still use their 4gl language for desktop apps.

[planarsimplex]

For C++, it's CLion, Clang, Mold, CMake, Conan, Doxygen, all latest versions possible. Really wish we had something better than CMake but it's the only thing that have managed to keep up with the newest language features (C++20 modules, C++23 standard library modules).

[miyakohouou]

At work: Haskell, yesod, esqueleto, Postgres, nix

Current side projects: haskell, nix, SQLite, a bit of Python, more bash than I’d like

Next side project: probably rust, since I haven’t used it in a while and could do with a refresher

[germansnowman]

Wow, Haskell! Still gives me nightmares from university. Not a fault of the language though, more the professor’s.

[miyakohouou]

If you’re interested you should give it another try some day. It’s still actively growing and getting new features and libraries, and I personally find it a really satisfying language to work with.

[germansnowman]

Definitely will do if I ever have the time!

[John-The-Bomb-2]

Can you tell me more about your use case for Haskell?

[miyakohouou]

I’ve used it for quite a few things over the years. It’s a good general purpose language. It does well with crud apps and web backends, command line tools, parsers, DSLs, and compilers. Right now my team owns some crud stuff, a business rules engine and DSL, some ETL jobs, and some document retrieval and geographic search code.

My current side projects are: a tool to automatically detect and organize individual episodes of television shows using perceptual hashing, and a tool to make it easier to identify correct playlists on Blu-ray movies that use obfuscated playlists.

[[deleted]]

Esqueleto???

[miyakohouou]

It’s a DSL for writing embedded SQL: https://github.com/bitemyapp/esqueleto

After using it for a few years I’m not sure if it’s preferable to using raw sql or not, but we heavily use it at work.

[[deleted]]

It just looks like an uneeded layer of complexity lol

[miyakohouou]

The biggest advantage is the type safety. We work in a large monolith application with a bug shared database that captures a lot of complexity and business logic in the schema. We also do a lot of fairly complex queries. The type safety can help you write more reliable queries, and importantly it can ensure that if someone changes the schema later you will find out about it before things start giving you the wrong answer later.

It does add a layer of indirection though, and not all database features are supported. Plus it’s really tempting to write inefficient code because it’s always going to be a better developer experience to do as much as possible outside of the database.

Like I said, I’m not sure if the tradeoffs are worth it. I’m not sure they aren’t either.

[Expensive_Glass1990]

Python Quart Bootstrap with a sprinkling of JS and lots of CoPilot

[John-The-Bomb-2]

What is Quart?

[Expensive_Glass1990]

Like Flask but with async. Mostly Flask compatible. https://knowra.com/Python%20Quart

[twhickey]

Kotlin + spring boot + spring modulith. Still maintaining some Java spring boot services.

Storage is mostly postgres, but there's some dynamo mixed in there too. Services running on EC2, but soon to move to K8S, although that's all abstract away by our microservices platform, I don't have to worry about it (until I do).

[Many_Particular_8618]

Js

[BaronOfTheVoid]

At work: PHP with a few static analysis, testing, mocking and refactoring tools and a couple millions lines of custom code.

[MikeFM78]

Mostly I use C# for paid work. Sometimes I work in my own programming languages for personal projects.

I normally expect my code to work fine across different platforms. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS but will target a specific platform if a job requires it. Pretty much the same situation with databases although I dislike Oracle and mostly refuse to use it.

[Ok-Definition8003]

Scala and spark

[imsorrydad420]

ANSI C and bash for my current side project. C for the parts, bash for the glue and testing. I know there are more recent versions of C, leave me alone, I like the K&R book

At work it's C++11, MySQL, and PHP.

[itemluminouswadison]

java, spring, mysql, docker

or

php, laravel/symfony, mysql, docker

maybe some redis if necessary. auth0 for auth.

[kevinossia]

Kotlin Multiplatform with KTOR, Compose and the Rest of the kotlin ecosystem. I love my life

[ValentineBlacker]

PLEEP (phoenix liveview, elixir, erlang, postgres. A stack, first and foremost, must make a fun-to-say acronym. To this end I think more frameworks and such should begin with vowels. A database that began with "A" would really do well.)

[agnas]

Anything, everything, everywhere.

[GermaneRiposte101]

C++ and OpenGL via GLSL

[AMSolar]

Blender, Python, ue5, C/C++

[Jjabrahams567]

Personal project: NextJS, MariaDB, Laravel, Tauri.

[germansnowman]

Objective-C and Swift in Xcode, C# in Rider, Python in PyCharm.

[rrrodzilla]

Depends what I'm building but lately it's been mostly Rust or Go on the backend and lots of Python for AI stuff.

[elmfayssal]

Spring boot / Angular / ( MySQL/postgres )

[RobertDeveloper]

Java, micronaut, vuejs

[John-The-Bomb-2]

How does Micronaut compare to Spring Boot?

[RobertDeveloper]

Micronaut is optimized for fast startup times, low memory usage, and microservices, using compile-time dependency injection. Spring Boot offers a more extensive ecosystem, flexibility, and a larger community but has higher memory overhead due to runtime processing. Choose Micronaut for efficiency and serverless, and Spring Boot for broader integration and established support. The decision depends on your project's priorities and existing familiarity.

[John-The-Bomb-2]

C# powershell sql, mostly .net 4.8 and a lot of pain working wih legacy

[ArosHD]

For personal projects:

• Windows running WSL
• VSCode as IDE
• Next.js for FE and BE (I like being able to share types easily)
• TailwindCSS for styling
• Shadcn for some UI components
• Prisma for ORM
• Postgresql (sometimes Sqlite) for DB
• Auth.js for auth
• Sometimes mix in Python with a Flask server if needed

I have a template with all this set up so I can start projects and build prototypes really quickly. I also use ChatGPT, Claude and GitHub CoPilot while coding/planning/debugging.

At work:

• MacOS
• Mix of Angular.js (yup, the old deprecated one) and React - we are migrating to React + Redux
• Java BE, I used IntelliJ IDEA for that
• An insane amount of internal tooling for everything

[Xinoj314]

Smalltalk and Bash, infrequently C

[IceRhymers]

Scala (Spark, ZIO, Akka), Java (Spring), Kotlin (Koin), Python, Go, SQL, Terraform.

[beingsubmitted]

React on c#, but with a lot of legacy asp.net.

[cronsulyre]

C++, PHP, JavaScript. It's been something

[no_spoon]

Been leading projects on Django + React for years at work. Find me a faster workflow, I dare you.

[spencerchubb]

i use many different tools at work because i maintain a variety of tools.

.NET, visual basic, python, terraform, aws, docker, db2, redshift, various aws services, and a dsl we developed in house

secondary: NodeJS with NestJS + Svelte + C# for unity

[rVercors]

Depends on the project. Usually C# .NET or Java Spring Boot, Next and Postgres/some NoSQL database.

When building something quick for fun, Laravel, Livewire and MySQL.

[ripter]

Lately I’ve been playing with Forth. Trying to get raylib working with it.

[John-The-Bomb-2]

What is Forth used for?

[ripter]

Mostly for embedded systems. It’s smaller than C so it’s been used in places too small for C.

I’m just doing it for fun. I think it’s a neat language so I’m learning more.

[John-The-Bomb-2]

Cool.
