Tqdm (Python)
I really love the wave of new tools that are gaining traction in the Python world: tqdm, rich (and soon textual), fastpi, typer, pydantic, shiv, toga, doit, diskcache...<p>With the better error messages in 3.10 and 11, plus the focus on speed, it's a fantastic era for the language and it's a ton of fun.<p>I didn't expect to find back the feeling of "too-good-to-be-true" I had when starting with 2.4, and yet.<p>In fact, being a dev is kinda awesome right now, no matter where you look. JS and PHP are getting more ergonomics, you get a load of new low level languages to sharpen your hardware, Java is modern now, C# runs on Unix, the Rust and Go communities are busy with shipping fantastic tools (ripgrep, fdfind, docker, cue, etc), windows has a decent terminal and WSL, my mother is actually using Linux and Apple came up with the M1. IDEs and browsers are incredible, and they do eat a lot of space, but I have a 32 Go RAM + 1TO SSD laptop that's as slim as a sheet of paper.<p>Not to mention there is a lot of money to be made.<p>I know it's trendy right now to say everything is bad in IT, but I disagree, overall, we have it SO good.
