I am now considering Zig or suicide.

And this is why people like me avoid ML based languages, type astronauts, and shiny new toys. You're misrepresenting inconveniences as fatal flaws when we've been successfully running all of modern society on kernels written in C for fifty years.

There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.

I've been a full-time developer for several companies for several decades and have no idea what you mean by a hash table.

The other group just wants to `git push` and be done with it, and they're willing to spend a lot of (usually their employer's) money to have that experience. They don't want to have to understand DNS, linux, or anything else beyond whatever framework they are using.

The "ugly" syntax of Algol-style languages provides landmarks that helps our mind navigate.

Does she mind unreleased?

Good design is aesthetic UNIX threw away clear, long-form command forms and kept short, cryptic abbreviations like "cat" (short for "felis cattus") and "wc" (short for "toilet"). Its C library helpfully abbreviates "create" as "creat", because vowels are expensive.

The generate_instruction_search.py script automatically generated this code. DO NOT MODIFY!

Why I Believe Zig Empowers Innovation While Rust Slows It Down

My argument is simple: Java worked so well because it hit the 80/20 point; for my money one of the loudest, cleanest 80/20 technology victories ever. Subsequent attempts to fill in the 20% were, well, mostly harmless. Until generics, which are a disaster.

Guys please, I'm really dumb and have been able to be successful because go is nice and simple. When you add these smart confusing things you are making this language too smart and confusing for me :(. Please keep it simple for the dumb people like me

I'm not sure if I should be impressed by your detailed knowledge of STI statistics or unnerved by your attempt to analogize unprotected sex to use of JSON

Make the union type default instantiate as the first possible type of the union. You might think this is a pretty dumb design decision that can lead to programmer error, but it meshes perfectly with the other mistakes in the language.

Dear Language Designers: Please copy `where` from Haskell

To Rust advocates, you can have the US government and big tech. You can even have Linux. Just leave my existing C++ process alone.

If you program in that, you're almost transcending to a higher plane and looking down to the folks who are stitching together if statements, for loops, make side effects everywhere, and are doing highly inappropriate things with IO.

Strangers lyrics explanation

Go really blew me away with its explicit error handling.

Rust is a language built by extremely smart people, unfortunately their focus is more on type theory and sparing few allocations than building something useful and coherent for blue collar devs like me.

You should not stick to any programming languages. It's just a tool to solve a business problem.

Go has only 25 keywords, which helps shorten compilation time.

"Native" web core should burn in hell, and I hope Wasm will finally contribute to it. [...] [A]s a developer, I care about using the right tool for the right task

"The Go language, its philosophy, and even its code of conduct positively impacted my life. Gophers are focused and, frankly, generally cheerful about what they do."

Go is for people who get shit done and not people who masturbate over types. I can agree with that.
