Ask HN: What languages and technologies/tools are you using right now?

[brutuscat]

Hi guys, I'm writing you because I would really like to know what languages, libraries and technologies/tools are being used now days.

Why you say? Well, you see, I'm curious. I dont really like those "graph" showing which languages are popular, I want it directly from you!

Thanks ;)

PD: would be nice for comparison with my past question 4 years ago)

- WordPress

- Node.js

- MySQL

- Redis

- RabbitMQ

- React.js

- npm

- Browserify

Two really important pieces in my toolkit I made (and probably am the only person using them) are:

- cjs-noticeboard

A javascript pubsub implementation I use client and server-side.

- cjs-task

Take a task and easily chop it up into smaller distinct steps.

Been pretty bad at properly explaining why I use these tools i made myself. I'll put in more effort into doing that soon.

- PHP 7 + WordPress + memcached + sometimes React + sometimes ElasticSearch. Once in a while Gearman for big tasks.

- node.js. One project testing out AWS Lambda.

- One project trying out React Native.

- AWS, Azure, WP Engine, Cloudflare, Ansible, and a bunch of other hosts and technologies I haven't had enough coffee to remember.

Sound interesting? We're always interested in talking to engineers: https://10up.com

- I use Browserify(1) because it allows me to use CommonJS(2) modules and bundle my JavaScript painlessly.

- Beyond the pretty standard debowerify(3) and hintify(4) transforms I use babelify(5) to help me sprinkle fancy ES6 features here and there.

- Node-based watchers and the npm client itself are all broken in many ways and very bad Unix citizens so I've stopped using npm for anything beyond actual package management and I will almost certainly replace the npm client with Yarn(6) very soon. The venerable make(7) or the much much younger but very dependable modd(8) are infinitely better than all that Node-based crap on _every_ front.

- I use tape(9) for tests (works like node-tap(10) with a little fewer dependencies) but I _love_ the look of ospec(11) even if it's not TAP(12)-compliant.

- Some JS libraries I've used recently: route-parser(13), pikaday(14), vidage(15), etc.

- I don't use any Sass/SCSS-specific tool or library.

- I use Vim(16) for editing text and either git itself (with with(17) when I remember I have it) or tig(18) for versioning source code.
