I don’t care that he met with Trump. I care that he used it as an occasion to praise Trump publicly.

My mom says it that way. It makes me twitch.

Is it even a slap on the wrist? Sounds like his punishment is nothing at all.

Getting exposure to the language only once a week will definitely hinder you a lot. When learning a language, there’s a bunch of stuff you’ll memorize without even thinking about it if you spend time working on it every day, but it will be hard to remember if you spend a week between learning sessions.

I considered saying the same thing, but C# has been around almost as long as Java at this point, and I believe it’s commonly used for teaching, so I have a hard time believing there’s a shortage of learning resources. Starting with Java seems like a waste of time if your goal is to learn C#, because you can learn the concepts equally well in either language, but if OP starts with Java they’ll end up spending a lot of time unlearning Java quirks and APIs while learning the equivalent stuff for C#.

It rhymes with orange.

They don’t do it well, but an attempt was made.

To be fair, that’s an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

For those who, like me, have never heard of a .gitkeep file: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7229885/what-are-the-differences-between-gitignore-and-gitkeep

Why are we looking for new technologies?

Why are we writing new software? There’s plenty already.

And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

So much this. Especially in a larger company it can be basically impossible to find the code that implements an endpoint, and of course even if you can find it you can’t trace it in a debugger.

For an application? Never. I’d still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.

In before conspiracy freaks start inventing conspiracy theories about everyone who tries to talk them down being a malicious AI.

It’s everywhere now.

I didn’t think you realize just how much code is written in JavaScript these days.

Or at least more expensive.

Everything about right wingers is unconscionable and always has been.

I’m old enough to remember when 4 of those 5 languages were the hot new thing. You’d have had me ignore them all and keep using C for everything. If I had done that I wouldn’t have even landed my first job.

There you go again flinging insults at anyone who disagrees with you.
