Python or Go.

I recommend people try learning Python through Jupyter Notebooks as a first attempt. It’s nice being able to run individual blocks of code and auto printing of output is great for learning more quickly.

Go is just a generally straightforward language and is known for being productive after a short time of learning. Plus generating binaries that can run anywhere can be a motivator if you’re planning on sharing the output of your programming.

Plus one for BitWarden for a great low price/free option that’s open source.

1Password if you have a few extra bucks to spend. I find the look and feel to be worth the money despite not being open source.

Big oof on the reposts across communities. That’ll get old.

Love this idea - can definitely imagine merging communities with the same name being a clean solution.

Seems like this is probably the answer. We don’t need to not looking for a 1 to 1 replacement for Reddit and the variation we see in communities could end up bringing some vibrancy and more differing opinions on things around here.
