I'm watching the #TXT#Disney+ documentary (slightly/ multi tasking) I think they need a Hobi dance leader... (wonders how often BTS are told off by staff but I haven't seen this)
Various thoughts on too many programming languages, for no discernible reason.
I have been interested in Go since it's very initial release, but their dependence on Google is uncharming to say the least. I still haven't made up my mind on its GC, but its definitely better than most.
I used to do some ML work in .NET and if it wasn't dependent on Microsoft it would be a heavy contender for a great language, but it has far too many Microsoft-isms to ever really go much farther.
Rust is great, I enjoy beating my head against a brick wall battling with the compiler, and their safety is great, but overly complicated and feature-creep is a real problem on that entire project. I do a lot of work these days in Rust, for better (mostly) or worse (mostly-ish).
C is my bread-and-butter, as is Javascript for quick prototyping.
Elixir is great, but Erlang is unwieldy, the community is growing, but not fast enough - and I just can't get my mind to enjoy the syntax no matter how nice it is.
D is a lot of fun, but their GC can be slow at times, and the community is very small and packages are often broken and unmaintained.
Python was my first true love, but I really can't stand the whitespace, again love the language, hate the syntax.
Zig is fun, but just that. Fast, nimble, but early days, a bit confusing, could replace my insistence on C for core projects, but again, early days. I love to use them as a compiler for C, much faster than the defaults on any of the others.
Odin is one I love to keep an eye on, I wish I could get behind using it for more things. When I first took notice ~4 years ago the documentation was a bit scattered, but it looks much better now. The developer behind it is incredibly cool, could be seen as the next Dennis Ritchie imo. Runes are dope. The syntax is by far my favourite.
Julia, I love Julia, but performance last I tested was a bit of a miss, and by miss, it required a decent chunk of compute for basics, but when you gave it the system to throttle, it would be insanely productive to write in. Javascript is something that I prototype even syscalls in, but Julia is just the same but much better and more productive (and less strange) in many regards. I am really hoping this takes over in the ML/Data world and just eats Python alive. I've heard there has been major work in the perf department, but I haven't had reason to try it out lately.
Ada, memory safety before Rust! Great language, especially for critical applications, decades of baggage (or wisdom), slow moving language, insanely stable, compilers are all mostly proprietary, job market is small, but well paid, great for robotics, defense, and space industry types, but the syntax is... rough. Someone should make a meta-language on top of Ada like Zig/Nim/Odin do for C, or Elixir does for Erlang.
The others: Carbon, haven't tried; Nim, prefer when they were "Nimrod" (cue Green Day), decent but not my style; Crystal, seems cool, but not for me; Scala, great FP language, but JVM; Haskell, I'm not a mathematician, but my mathematician friends love it. I see why, but not my thing as much as I love functional languages. I'll try it again, eventually. I did not learn Haskell a great good.
I tend to jump from language to language, trying everything out, it's fun and a total timesuck.
Take a shot for every time they make a heart :fingerheart_2: :borahae_2: :bloblewd:
Aaaah my knees are so weak :blobhearteyes: how do you guys choose a bias in this group? They’re all so talented and captivating, even their personalities are amazing! :blobcatbigfan:
Dear #friends, I want to #verify the #domain#technotramp.com in the fediverse environment, but due to #IPFS where I can't #change the #content (to avoid changing the IPFS #address), I'm not comfortable with the #way the #html#code is inserted. I am looking for a way to verify the domain using a #TXT record. Exactly what was discussed half a #year ago for example #here:
Thanks to Mr. Tikistitch's mad cereal hunting skillz we now have 2 of the 6 #TXT General Mills cereal boxes (though the Lucky Charms is a bit messed up - sorry Beomgyu, you are still handsome).
Found a random Beomgyu at my Safeway. Which is good because the box I already had is kinda squooshed. Still on the hunt for Cookie Crisp and Trix. #txt
Had an epic KPop shoppin' trip to Southcenter today, capped by grabbing THE VERY LAST BOX OF SOOBIN TRIX from Target! I've finally completed the set of #TXT cereals. It wasn't the Family Size, which I would have preferred, but the cutouts on the back are all the same size, so I can make myself a little band standee now. Also, er, does anybody need cereal???
