Planning to have my first work day of my year as a full-time writer this coming Monday.
-
@rl_dane I keep trying to learn programming languages. Never had much success.
-
@orbitalmartian @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42 @pixx
I’m sure I could benefit from the structure of C but would probably benefit more from another programming language.
I do so much in Python and Powershell. Something like Go would probably be better for me. -
@clayton @orbitalmartian @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42 @pixx
Hate google, but I gotta respect #Issue9 (golang)'s heritage, with Kernighan and Pike involved.
Hare also looks like an interesting language.
Rust is way too popular. I default to distrust. XD -
@rl_dane @clayton @orbitalmartian @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42
Go is really good IMO. I was more hesitant with it a few years ago, but after using it regularly for years I've come around. There's a _lot_ it gets _very_ right. Moreso than almost any other language I've used.

@rl_dane @clayton @orbitalmartian @ivanmarkov @amin @kabel42 00
Rust has a lot of good goals, IMO. I simply don't think it's a very well-designed language. "Designed" is maybe giving them too much credit, frankly.

Rust hurts my brain

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
I have a hard time seeing functional languages as "low-level." I think it's a high level language masquerading as a low-level language by brute force, and that force is seen when you try to compile something. XD

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
A language can be a systems programming language and also high-level. Heck, C was considered high-level when I was a young-un. XD
Being a low-level language isn't about speed or usability, but the level of abstraction. I don't know much about rust, but it does seem to provide a reasonably high level of abstraction, while still producing quite optimized object code.

@rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
It's a high-level language when boomers look at it and a low-level one when zoomers look at it. Like quantum particles, it depends on the observer.
-
@amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
Ah yes, the Bohr school of mystical wave functions.
The circle of hype is complete. XD

@rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
Hot take, "Rewrite in Rust" bros are to FOSS what a well-thrown bowling ball is to a game of Jenga.
-
@amin @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
Rewrite it in rust is the same thing as "Metal" fans who listens to only metallica..
-
@sotolf @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
"Rewrite it in Rust" is the programming language equivalent of btw bros. ;)
-
@rl_dane @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42 Well, I mean the btw bro's were actually using arch though, which makes it different. :p
-
@sotolf @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
You mean the "Rewrite it in Rust" bros are rust posers?
BTW, some of the btw bros were running Manjaro.
-
@rl_dane @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42 90 % of the RiiR dudes (yeah, I bet they are all guys) have never used rust, they just jumped onto the SAFETY Bandwagon.
-
@sotolf @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
At least the bandwagon is memory safe, who cares how many pedestrians it runs over /j
(I have no clue where I'm going with that metaphor)
