I tend to like the various programming language and framework subreddits on Reddit. I find them more approachable than StackOverflow for asking questions, and I enjoy discussing the programming things I use. They do exist on Lemmy, but almost all of them are too small to really be helpful for discussions or answering questions.
you can change that! What are your favourite programming languages?
Kotlin and Rust currently, and I actually mod both communities on .ml and do try participate in discussions :)
i know why rust is popular but may i ask what you like about kotlin?
I find it easy to code in, with a good balance between object oriented and functional paradigms. It also has a large open source library since it works on the JVM.
