Go or Kotlin for microservices?

Programming project in first year. Particle simulator in C. I decide to switch to another degree and drop out 2 month before exams. My friend's like "I have to study for exams, you have time to do it all now". I say okay and spend a whole week of my free time doing everything. Hand in project get a B-. A week before the exams the other fucktard drops out as well...

I've tried so many laptops as dev workhorses. Dell, hp, a few apples, and now after 20 years, a ThinkPad.

Never. Going. Back.

Got an XPS 9365 and decided after some time to remove dual boot and switch to Arch Linux entirely.

After a week or so I realised this piece of shit doesn't support supend-to-ram properly!
in s2idle the battery drains in about 20h. Also I have to run the SSD in AHCI mode to boot Linux which is slow as fuck!

Seriously Dell, a 1.5k laptop that has a great screen but can't even suspend properly or make good use of the pcie SSD? Fuck you!

Need a replacement ASAP.
Suggestions welcome. 13-14" QHD screen, 8th gen CPU, good battery...

When I started functional programming everywhere.

Pretty sure I'm right in the middle of my most successful project. Must be one of the 42...

I know this is a recurring question. What language to learn in 2018?
Kotlin, scala, elixir, rust, go, ...?
I need something practical and preferably a language that at least partially supports functional programming patterns. Oh and also I don't want to learn Haskell. Thanks.

Thank you DELL for forcing me to switch. Asshats!
