Context
As a teenager I spent alot of my energy trying to be different. I don't know what informed my rebellious streak, I just know that once artists got over a couple thousands actve listeners on Spotify, I started to lose interest in them.
I'm barely old enough to think straight, and it dawned on me in a conversation with my wife, "you know, things are probably actually bigger in Texas".
Reflection
I'm glad I still have a pretty strong rebel streak in me that propels me to be curious, to try the more esoteric things. I'm a better person for having learned other niche programming languages like
- Clojure
- Ocaml
- Zig
- Gleam
- Nim
(surprisigly no rust, its like mainstream in its deviance or something...)
