Quite. You don’t need an IDE to have a compiler lol

I do, I just use abstractions and metaprogramming layers to do so more efficiently. Sounds like your workflow could use improving

You also need a compiler or interpreter because wtf man you gotta run some stuff during development

Oh, I installed Arch manually the other day and rather enjoyed the process :'( felt good to be reminded of all the bits and bobs.

TBF I have been accused of being a time-waster on occasion

And there’s no Tim Curry, who frankly makes RA2

I is a vowel too but you sure can!

Edit: also I noticed you dropped one ‘y’ but not the others. Is this an accident or some subtlety to do with y’s ‘semi-vowel’ status? To be discussed.

Very pleased to have been of help! I love scala but Java really isn’t too bad (streams API is fine except that you need to explicitly move in and out, rather than getting to do the cool scala thing of just using methods in the phenomenal collections library) and I don’t like dunking on it, but it really does need a few helper libs. Tuples, either and try I think vavr has. Java seems to have covered most other stuff now. But been a half decade since I’ve written more than 10 lines at a time so hasn’t come up for a while. Sorry. Reminiscing. Sunday night blues.

Omg I remember running into something like this about 12 years ago. TTY did help but did need a reboot. I had to arch-chroot off the live usb so many times that night, my first ever Linux installation and I fucked up the bootloader and initial packages so hard so many times. I felt so cool when I was able to switch to another tty without needing yet another usb boot. Thanks for that memory.

idx is the ideal name for an index, change my mind

Do people still use vavr? When I wasn’t allowed to use scala that made up for a fair few shortcomings but it’s probably less relevant than it used to be

No, because the whole point of this meme is to be entirely devoid of nuance. Functional programming is fucking awesome if product is changing its mind every 5 mins, Oop is great if you have a huge number of junior Devs, rust isn’t remotely slow so god knows what bottom right is about, top left probably has more functionality defects than you can shake a stick at but he’s lionised here. Don’t think too hard about it – OP didn’t (also ‘never bashes python or JavaScript’? Absolute weaksauce. Perl and PHP are the ones ppl bash because of entry level dev memes. Embarrassed for op)

Don’t think they built the proposed alchemic tokomak yet, thought it was a theoretical paper?

In reverse order:

• Directly mapping structs to JSON is a solved problem in userland for every major language
• yes it does, and worse it’s part of the return signature and null is super-prevalent of necessity as a result
• even java doesn’t do that any more, but fine I guess
• cool, but access modifiers actually make a lot of sense. Go’s solution to this is to use capitalisation as a marker, which has no ‘inferential readability’ – public/private is obvious. Foo/foo? Considerably less so

Further, meta programming in go sucks donkey balls. Sure, it finally got generics but also they suck. Last I checked it still didn’t even support covariance.

Dude, weird ass-comment. I can share my opinions and they don’t have to be positive ones. Go is a tool and its purpose is to be an aesthetic stain on the realm of software.

Thank you for your attention

That’s completely fair, thank you for your service

Ironically Go is such a shite verbose language that basically everyone I know who has to work with it will use an llm code-assistant tool to avoid having to write all the boilerplate themselves.

I know of no other language that comes close to prompting the level of LLM-dependency that Go inspires.

Edit: well, seems like this goes against the popular consensus but I stand by my guns if the down votes are from average Go enjoyers. If, on the other hand, the down votes stem from the sentiment that even Go should not be vibe coded, I can at least agree with that, but who knows what jimmies I’ve rustled

Vanishingly few apps work fully offline and they tend to be the ones that don’t send a buttload of requests in the first place.

In my experience.

Loved complex analysis. Poles for days. Such weird maths
