Python is suitable for beginner and is also easy to write code in different fields. I’m a developer, half of my time is writing code to get things done, and the other half is learning more development techniques, which I’ve been learning for over twenty years.

Tails. It may not be designed for LTS, but it appears to be stable and secure.

hello world:

fn main() {
    areas := ['game', 'web', 'tools', 'science', 'systems',
              'embedded', 'drivers', 'GUI', 'mobile']
    for area in areas {
        println('Hello, ${area} developers!')
    }

import net.http
resp := http.get('https://vlang.io/utc_now') or {
    println('failed to fetch data from the server')
    return
}
t := time.unix(resp.body.int())
println(t.format()) // 2019-08-16 17:48

When I write code in the terminal, the editor I use the most is nano. I know vim and emacs are more powerful, but I don’t really feel that nano is incompetent. I run nano in byobu

productivity is relative and requires a reference coordinate system. The best way to become a 10x engineer is to PK with a turtle team, but of course what the value is is another matter.

Also, your productivity may not be significantly improved in certain environments. When every member of the team reaches the speed of light, you will find yourself impossible to be faster anyway. Setting a goal beyond the speed of light is contrary to science.
