Sometimes it's our turns to talk. And now it shall be mine.

If you've never heard about me, hi. I'm Common or Commonwealthrocks or TheCommonWealth or... whatever alias I was using that day. I'm a self taught programmer that works in many languages including Python, C, C++, JavaScript, Rust, Assembly (x64 and x86).

Now you're def thinking "Oh cool, now what do you do?" Which... yeah fair enough, onto that.

Before you go on, you must know one thing. I am a Windows developer; in other words I do not work with Linux, macOS or any UNIX system in general. I do a best effort for Linux but I never promise it shall work.

My go to language for basically anything; can't mess up with it. Python with it's vast community and libraries like cryptography, discord, numpy, matplotlib and so on. All have their specific use case, but which ones do I use?

So far, PyKryptor is my only public project for Python and any other language. If you want more information you can go about and read it from the link.

With that I also use Python for multi-media work, encryption (as seen), Discord bots and so on.

C or C++, I use both depending on the scenario but their main use is for low level stuff that can not be done with a high level language like Python or and emulated language. Most common uses case for me in these languages are when directly doing sys calls and manual tweaks. Libraries like Qt (C++) are useful for fast-er GUI if needed unlike Python dynamic PySide6 slow counterpart.

For my compilers I use GCC and G++ with UCRT64; only for uses like Cython I use MSVC.

Honestly, I despise JavaScript with and without a passion but in the rare use cases I do work with it; it's only for web development currently. As for the future of me using this language it is unknown.

Similar use case with C / C++, Rust is fast, compiled and it's benefactor; safe. I mostly use Rust because of it's compiler since it can save me a headache or two with segfaults but gives me another one when I need to fix my code... Rust in my use cases is also very bad for big files or projects; the compile times are not a nice thing. So it's better to use it on smaller bits of code.

They say ̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶h̶u̶n̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶ you can't spell Assembly without ass. And to that I fully agree this language is horrid in terms of enjoyment from using it; however it is useful for the closest you will have by talking with the CPU. Bootloaders, kernels, low level file / HEX management, that's my main use of Assembly.

In general Assembly is very architecture dependent, so I only reach for it when high level languages won't cut it.

So far, my main project is PyKryptor; open source encryption software WITH compression... again more can be seen at the link above if you haven't seen.

Other than that you can expect more projects very soon for viewing!

I would prefer more serious questions; but I don't mind weird ones too :)
