What *new* technologies do you most want to learn?

Only talking about relatively new technologies, what is most appealing to you? Why do you want to learn it?

This post is part of the Mayfield + DEV Discussion series. Please feel free to go back and answer previous questions as well.

Supabase stands out. New open source alternative to something proprietary in Firebase, but also built on top of something I'm quite comfortable with in Postgres.

Haven't had the chance to play around yet, but it hits a sweet spot for me.

On the first look it seems like Supabase has no vendor lock in because it is open source but it actually is lock in because very important features are Supabase Cloud exclusive and not part of Supabase. Very sad.

Also check out Thin Backend, it's similar to supabase but provides optimistic updates :)

I really recommend learning it. Currently using it for a real project and it has been awesome.

PyTorch/FastAI

Machine Learning is of increasing importance. More importantly we need to work out how it can provide value to customers. PyTorch and FastAI abstract the hard stuff away to provide simplified interfaces for real world use.

Vue

Not exactly new, but new for me. I evaluated the various libraries and frameworks for client side development and settled on learning Vue because of its lean learning curve.

We use FastAI for some spam detection on DEV โ€” really incredible technology.

Vue was the first frontend framework that just clicked for me. Itโ€™s been my go to for years. I really didnโ€™t feel the need to learn React, but the industry being what it isโ€ฆ I finally started to learn React. I still love Vue more though.

Same here! Vue has been so lovely from my experience, even more with the composition api now.
Had to learn React for a job and it's also pretty easy to pick up but not as neat as vue is. It does also have some nice things that I'd want in vue tho.

Machine learning, cause of its capability to solve many problems (if implemented fairly) for people.

Since i just learned using docker and docker-compose tool in my project I would like to learn kubernetes to scale and manage containerdized application and make use more of docker/containerdized. I'm having fun as a developer that I'm able to do DevOps part by myself.

Everything takes time to learn.
These two are the best resources for learning Docker.

I kinda of want to learn Mint Lang. It's not super new, but it's starting to gain enough stability now that it might be a pretty nice alternative for front-end. I really dig the approach they're taking with type-safety and such.
