Right tool for the job
I pick the language that suits the project, not the one that’s fashionable.
Languages I write
The languages I write day to day, and what each one is good for.
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
- Python
- Lua
What I use
-
JavaScript
My main language, for everything from small interactions to whole sites and servers.
-
TypeScript
JavaScript with types, for bigger projects where catching mistakes early saves time later.
-
Python
Scripts, automation and quick tools for tidying data or checking things.
-
Lua
A small, fast scripting language I’m comfortable reading and writing.
How I approach it
Readable over clever
Code should make sense to the next person who opens it, including future me.
Always learning
SQL is next on the list, and I’m honest about what I know and what I’m still picking up.
