Hello there !

I want to code a little incremental game just for me and some friends, and i started prototyping this in Go (because i know how to use it) but i was thinking that maybe run it in a browser and then use typescript would be better

I have no experience in making games and in javascript, i mostly code for backend and math stuff (my favorite gui is a terminal), and when i need a real gui i use pure html page edited by backend

So i was wondering what would be easier between learning making game in Go, or learning JS/TS for an incremental game (pictures and numbers and text, maybe little animations), and if javascript is still relevant to learn

Thanks !

(Also im a student, so my knowledge of the professional dev world is quite limited, forgive my approximative wording :b)

    Exactly this. The more languages you know, the more you understand how to solve problems independently of the language and the faster you’ll pick up new languages.

    I’ve started learning coding from Pascal and Delphi in middle school, then moved to C++ in uni. After that learning Java wasn’t that hard, and I’ve been picking up Python recently. Even learned some VBA for Excel macros that came in handy a few times. And got a bunch of SQL/database management experience along the way.
