Playing around with the SecureFlag platform, pretty interesting IMHO. Also want to start a new language to stick with, I am pretty undecided between Zig (but is not memory safe by design) elixir (functional programming still isn't my thing) and nim (can't handle any more language with indentation-based codeblocks).
Any suggestion is welcome, I will use them to build mostly security tools.
Just noticed Zig with the 2023 StackOverflow survey. Stood out as a language people seemed to be happy with, and paid a lot. I tried elixir for a day and, like you, it wasn't my thing. For what it's worth (less than the cost of the electricity used in the process of posting my comment), I say maybe try Zig
For now I am pretty happy with zig, the semicolon mandatory is a bit annoying tho.
