Update : I found James Hague had similar thoughts on Python and JavaScript.Update : Here are even more exciting web technologies: Electron, progressive web apps, and WebAssembly.I've been trying to do front end work for years now, but I finally got a sensible chance to switch as my company is changing it's technology stack from Python to Ruby and Backbone/Angular to React.I think I was the last person at my company running Linux.(I will continue using Emacs because Emacs rocks! 6) If anyone can recommend a tiling window manager like Qtile for OS X, please let me know. I'm sure I will hate OS X at first, but hopefully it will be good in the long run. 4 If only beauty mattered, maybe I'd use Scheme. JavaScript is uglier than Python, but it's getting better and there are things Python can't do that JavaScript can. I'm excited about ES 2015 and React and React Native and CSS transitions. 2 In small part like Ian Bicking wrote last year, I feel unexcited about back end development and really excited about JavaScript and front end development. I'm choosing front end development because I want to code closer to the end user.

Issues with Linux device drivers don't help. I've had problems working with Photoshop files in GIMP and I couldn't run the iOS simulator. Linux is rare 1, especially among front end developers, and I want to make it easy to collaborate as I learn new things. The former is mostly to support the latter.

I've also switched from Python and back end web development to JavaScript and front end development. Date: | Modified: | Tags: javascript, mac, preferences, python, ubuntu | 9 CommentsĪfter 7 years, I've yielded to the Dark Side and switched from Ubuntu to OS X on my work laptop.
