What compiler are you using that wouldn’t tell you right away?

Didn’t know D still had an active community, that’s pretty awesome. Wonder if someone has ever worked on a borrow checker for Nim.

That’s a lot of words for “I don’t understand the borrow checker”

In all seriousness, yeah rust users are annoying, but I think rust is a welcome change over C/C++

Only watched the first season, but it’s very fun, very corny, and full of tech puns. I’d say it’s aged decently well though.

Watched this the other day. Convinced me to give the whole series a try.

Still the only handheld PC that doesn’t come with a dogshit OS and an abysmal battery life. The deck doesn’t do well despite its low specs and alternative OS, it does well because of them.

Nim is an awesome language, but I’ve never seen nimskull before. I’m eager to see how it evolves.

People already suggested it, but rustlings is awesome.

One thing I like to do is think of something I often do in another language, then Google how to do it in rust, i.e. dynamic dispatch. The way rust does it with traits is really interesting.

Thank you for the spoiler tag, that was pretty NSFL

Ah. Seems like the effect varies from person to person I guess. Are there any studies on it? I’m kinda interested now.

What the fuck did you do to your text? It’s impossible to read.

The do-nothings vs the did-somethings.

Because they keep putting Javascript in things.

Had to learn Javascript for web development class.

In all seriousness, I found out about Nim from the debug log of a discord bot and decided to give it a shot. It’s now my favorite programming language.

Make it completely untyped. Everything’s just a string.

I don’t get why people hate semantic whitespace. The whitespace would be there anyway, and if anything it’s easier to read as long as you avoid 15 nested if statements, and you’re not using a dynamically typed abomination like python.

S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

In all honesty, I can understand the reason people love s-expressions, but to me they’re just unreadable at a glance.

I’m a computer engineering major (still a student tbf), I’m well aware of the difference between CISC and RISC, I was making a joke.

Also, I understand your point, but you should know though that a load-store architecture and a RISC instruction set are not the same thing. The vast majority of RISC ISAs are load-store, but not all load-store architectures are RISC.

At this point ARM is a CISC architecture

That’s not what the meme is about? It’s about how everything is marketed as AI these days, even if there’s no machine learning involved whatsoever.

My favorite example

“My laptop died before I could push these”

Not a good commit name I know, but my laptop stopped booting and I just really needed to continue from my desktop.

It’s a student project anyway.
