I agree, unless you doing low level stuff where you need absolute control you should use a modern language with proper abstraction just to save time. Most use cases where they use C++ can be replaced with Rust or Go as they aren’t saddled with years tech debt and bloat due to having mantaining backwards compatibility.

All the others have great suggestions but I’d just like to add there many open source projects out there and given example code of how something is done and letting him play with it can be tremendously helpful. For example finding some simple 3d programs and lettting him change the source code to do whatever he wants or just giving him a template like https://editor.p5js.org/1alimaze/sketches/IJpxIEME8 which I made when I was first learning and letting him play with the values and add more objects.

Just use C. It solves all those problens given the most complicated feature is pointers and those hard aren’t to understand.

Just someone didn’t develop something dosen’t mean they can’t passionately share it. If you like a TV show and started talking about how much you like the show it wouldn’t rude for you to share just because you weren’t the director of the show.

No, I have never used any of those closed source options. I wanted cloud services I have perfectly good esp32 lying around. And if I get worried about the vendor provided system libraries I can just buy a Raspberry Pi or something.

As yes good old M-x-Butterfly.

They said in their reply that there is no mention of invincible on the left. They clearly know the show and are trolling.

Sounds inefficient. You can only store 8 gigs and goes away when you shut off your computer? I just put it on punch cards and feed it into my machine.

Just use Iceraven. Addons work great on it. Except for themes for some reason.

If you would like to use a TUI this you can check out ncurses. Should be a lot simpler than an GUI.

FOSS > ONCE > SaaS

ONCE is a comprimize but it is not an ideal. I would rather have true freedom to use software as I wish.

Oh.

Why not just use vim? It’s preinstalled.

I like 0 index because it is 2hat is used under the hood. The index is not really an index but rather an offset from the array pointer.

Dynamic Memory Management exists.

Although I do believe Javascript is a mess, I’d have to disagree with that. The problem with Javascript and to an extent all client side code is that people uses as a everything tool not neccesarily the language being at fault. People should start to realize handling logic on the backend is perfectly fine and is often better as you don’t need to send several megabytes just to load a simple web page. If we decided to replace Javascript with Python we just recreate the same problem that plagues the modern web.

Me too. It’s the only language that felt natural. Learning it was a breeze and I haven’t needed anything it dosen’t provide.

But there are languages that require varying degrees of effort to become natural. Something like Malbolge will pretty much never be natural while something like Python can become natural to you in a few days.

With linux you have the option of debloating your system by using a minimalist distro with Windows you have no choice

Shorter is usually faster so your right on that account but not always. There are few things like optimizing for cache hits that can vastly speed up programs but are hard to do. Most slow programs are due to technical debt, high dependencies usage, mixed with laziness and lack of interest in developers with speeding up their program.
