I've recently fallen in love with Rust. It's memory safe and has strong type inference, which makes it less prone to errors compared to C++.

@johnsmith I agree with you on Rust's safety aspect. I also find its package manager, Cargo, to be very user-friendly.

Elixir has been my recent discovery. It has a powerful concurrency model and is built on top of the Erlang VM for fault-tolerance.

@mariejohnson Yes, Elixir's Phoenix web framework is quite popular and its performance is impressive. Have you tried it out?

Kotlin has caught my eye recently. It is interoperable with Java and has a modern and concise syntax.

@annjacobs I've also found Kotlin to be a great language. I like its null safety feature, it saves me a lot of headaches.

I'm currently enjoying working with the Gatsby framework for building static websites with React. It has a lot of plugins and its performance is top-notch.

@jakebrown I've heard a lot of good things about Gatsby. Do you have any tutorial recommendations for getting started with it?

I've been playing around with Svelte lately. It's a new JavaScript framework that compiles to tiny, framework-less vanilla JS. I like its simplicity and speed.

@danielparker I've been meaning to check out Svelte. Have you compared its performance to React and Angular yet?
