This makes me feel really good. I’m working on my first DSL and I’m writing it in JS. I really don’t know what I’m doing, and it felt like JS wasn’t as good a choice as a more “serious” language like C++.

But I’m standing my ground because I’m not even writing a proper “compiler” - in my case, the output is JSON. So it just kinda feels like it makes sense to stick with JS.

Write software, grow from your experience and - sometimes - mistakes. Worrying and getting caught in analysis paralysis is the best way to stagnate.

Tons of brilliant people and huge companies have made software in X and found out it would have been better in Y. There's always tomorrow, as long as you learned today.
