Title: I&#x27;ve written in many very different languages in a professional full-time capacity in my many-year career. Now I&#x27;m interested in building something new and I have a clear idea in mind with some code already in C++ to proof-of-concept it for myself, but I&#x27;m struggling to find a direction forward that would be... fun. I don&#x27;t mind challenging work, but I like an environment that feels sane and logical and where I am not facing loads of incidental complexity along the way. I&#x27;m also attracted to implementing my app cross-platform.<p>I just want to have some fun writing something without headaches, and that is seemingly less and less easy to achieve today. I&#x27;m not a fan of the complexity of either JavaScript or C++, and while I very much like Swift and working in the UIKit world, it&#x27;s not so portable to platforms that many use.<p>I feel like there aren&#x27;t really any good options in software development any more. It&#x27;s always one big compromise with lots of possible decision fatigue. Every direction has drawbacks.<p>If I could write an app in a good static-compiled language that did not require extraneous expertise in CSS but that shipped on a web page and looked good using tools only in that language, with good interop with an HTML Canvas, that would be one possibility, but it is again a compromise -- no <i>easy</i> multithreading, dealing with all the front-end baggage to bundle or deploy such an app, etc.<p>Any recommendations? I&#x27;m not afraid of learning an entirely new language too.
