  • It’s time to return to the roots, the times when you used goto instead of function calls! Fortran and COBOL all the way! /s

    Once you look beyond the “git gud” and “we must gatekeep programming from the normies” aspects of coding, you might want a language that is either way more productive than C (D), a language that offers memory safety and functional programming paradigms (Rust), or even a language that has relatively good portability even at the cost of performance (Javascript).

    If you’re only grumpy about Electron apps, then be mad at the corporations that:

    • forced colleges and universities to teach Javascript and nothing else to students, so now we have programmers afraid of type declarations,
    • jumped on the “Big Data” and “software as a service” train, so every app needed to be a “website”, because “it’s so convenient, pops no longer need to install wordprocessor dot exe, just type wordprocessor dot com into a browser”.

    If those PVC figures also loose their paint, then they will think they weren’t painted in the first place. A new style of statues will emerge by the name of “neo-millenialism”, who will make gray-colored anime figurines without understanding anything about anime at all.

    Then a linguist finds a bunch of image files and documentation on how to read them, and reproduces them. the images will be photographs of these anime figurines. The followers of the neo-millleniallism (calling themselves gatekeepers) accuse the linguist of fabricating such images and making up such stories like their fertility goddess being actually called Super Sonico, and in true 4chan church fashion, they block a pool from access until the linguist will admit their scam. The gatekeepers instead being laughed off, with the worst of them being fined.





  • This is highly inaccurate:

    D: Esperanto. Highly derivative of C (Latin), designed by people previously writing compilers. It’s not being taken seriously as such.

    Russian is nowadays being speaken by right-wing authoritarians instead, and any programmer that is auth-right is either coding in C/C++, or a Javascript/Python dev pretending to be a C/C++ dev to “gatekeep” nulangs (sic).
