Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler
As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.
“Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn’t it be able to edit itself?”
It breaks my brain.
When they said, “Don’t write self modifying code”, they obviously didn’t mean me! /s
Is haskell still alive?
Absolutely. It’s just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.
With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just
stack new
at the start andstack build
orstack repl
during development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.Nah, I am not talking about hackernews buzz. I just thought it is dying couple of years ago.
I’ve addressed both popularity (waned - rust is the cool new difficult-to-learn principled language now) and bitrottenness (rock solid). I’m not sure what else you were meaning if it wasn’t either of these.
Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”
Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
Probably this guy
with his therapist 🤣
I take it that he dictated the book to his therapist from a state of paralysis.
That should be a dog fucking a football.
This chart knows me.
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say… well played >:(
Where would COBOL fall?
“You’re in a Nursing Home”
“and nerd”
This is deep.
TIL fortran has a logo
Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
Trying to rewrite everything in the universe
It’s a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.
…but some nerds are more equal than others.
10/10 would nerd out in PHP again.
The only more masochist geeks are the Perl ones - especially the ones who entered the “most obfuscated code” contests.
Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Or programming a tiny microcontroller to blink a led as efficient as possible.
Something wrong with:
#include <Arduino.h> void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }
? 😂🤮
Obviously the only correct way to blink an LED is to use a hardware timer to trigger a DMA transfer which stores a bit in the pin toggle register at a set interval
yeah! Or or use the interrupt pins and a 555 timer! both options are better than python though at least.
🤓
What is the bottom right language?
Perl. It was the cool thing from 1998 to 2008.
Still the linux sysadmin’s language of choice!
The revenge!
what about BASIC
