There’s no real need for character literals. They would behave exactly the same as string literals but only support a single character. And you can use escape sequences in the string literal, of course.

lua is a really cute and surprisingly capable language! it’s how I got my start, and it’s one of the easiest languages I’ve ever played with. it would’ve been a good pick for web, I think. probably just needed to be fleshed out more.
for real. I’m very lucky to have landed a job in it, but it’s a dry market for anyone looking if they don’t want to be doing crypto. Rust has made a big name for itself but still isn’t that popular where it matters.
Thank you! It’s hopefully intuitive to anyone who knows regex or BNF already
yeah if only I was joking. wouldn’t that be funny
too bad everyone else is wrong
there aren’t 30 best languages, that’s not how “best” works. we use only the best language. for everything.
we should use only the best language for everything.
voting alone is insufficient
the news isn’t that there’s one job listing, the news is that Microsoft office 365 is being rewritten in rust.
Rust. I’ve been using it for a while, and I’ve been using more software written in it lately. Stuff you make with it is just better in most ways. In other languages, you have to go above and beyond to make your code fully correct, safe, user friendly, and every trait I value in software. Rust makes those things easy, and so people are more willing to do them, and so things that get made in it are better. Oftentimes it’s just a matter of pulling in a crate and adding a few lines of code.
one of my favorite things about helix is how easily you can check the keybinds for certain actions - just space-? and then you can see a list of every command available (by description) and their keybinds, if they have one
going vegan doesn’t help animals much either. we live in an overproductive society that wastes most of what it produces anyways - even if your personal choice marginally reduces demand, the abuse is ongoing. we need systemic solutions. we need to destroy the meat industry. veganism will never be popular enough to create systemic change on its own.
solves nothing. you eliminate a negligible amount of carbon emissions. focusing on our individual impact is a waste of time when there are companies and their leaders doing orders of magnitude more damage.
you can’t be 100% sure about a relationship until you try it. it might work out, it might not. age is not going to be an obvious problem upfront if she seems mature. you just have to accept that you’re taking a risk.
why don’t we store code unformatted and have everybody’s IDE display it with their preferred format applied? it would make everything easier and stop people bickering over pointless things.
automate your life’s menial tasks
shorter code is not always better, especially when it comes to types. building in lots of guard rails by being verbose with the type system is a good thing. “shorter = better” is the python approach that starts off fun and easy but the codebase scales extremely poorly.
Good article, though I wish it talked more about how CPUs choose what to cache
