#4 - Programming Languages

Santhosh Kannan was a beloved colleague of mine when I was working at ImmobilienScout. With calm and stoic composure he would keep order on the third floor and always have an answer at hand. Now he’s working as a Freelancer based in Berlin. In this episode he joins me to dig in to programming languages. We try to answer the questions what differences there are between languages and if it makes sense to learn more than one.
