I used to own both. They sound played so similarly I ended up donating the cornet.

There's an activist street band near me, I want to play with them. They say all skill levels welcome but I've been shy because I can barely even do a scale at this point. (Fingering is fine but my embrochure is pretty bad)

also i forgot how annoying it is to carry trumpets places, do you know if there's a safe way to carry them that leaves your hands free?

I watch my daughter play drums now

Sure it was arrogance, but aren't we all when it comes to something we love? With music, passion is what matters.

I haven't used Typescript enough to speak on it with expertise, but I hear it's good.

It's getting late here, so I'm gonna log off. I hope you have a good night and good luck with JS!

I think my first more serious use of JS was in my university senior project. We had a robot autonomously mapping and navigating through a room and using a camera to recognize objects as it went. The idea was that it was a proof-of-concept for an accessibilty aid to help blind people locate and retrieve dropped objects.

I used JS to do final filtering to select good object identifications before listing out every object the robot saw in the UI. In the end, the JS was short and simple, but the learning curve of getting it to play nice with the robotics software was steep. At that point in my education, I was near the end of university, so learning another language on top of the many I had already dabbled in wasn't bad, but was certainly more stressful on a deadline.

Nowadays I only use it when occasionally updating or making browser extensions.

JS is hard for reasons that can be subtle and difficult to descibe. Many aspects of it are unforgiving. If you have the luxury of time to learn an object oriented language after JS, I would recommend giving it a go. It gets easier to pick up new languages as you grow more familiar with popular design patterns. Imo, many other OOP languages are better at communicating with the dev than JS and make troubleshooting easier.
