I do recommend emacs though. It is not the greatest editor, but it is an amazing experience. It is such an amazing experiment, that has an extensive set of different ways of looking at content and code - it will change how you think about coding.

I can’t say that it is, no.

Org-mode is like md but has tables and more. Emacs will even run computation as a party of interpretation. GitHub accepts it in place of markdown.

They are draining their capital investment. Their employees are not paying the 5b.

No jokes: pick a language that is in the market, but has a different design philosophy than your background. Your background includes compiled static, and loose scripting, with strong library tooling, so you have diversity there, so a language in which you have to think differently is the right choice.

I recommend:

1. Rust if you want something safe but that makes you work differently from java
2. Go if you want a real mental challenge (the coding approach is very different from java)
3. Lua if you want really see functional programming as a philosophy
4. Python if you want scripting, and are tired of the web
