What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don’t know jack shit about programming?

When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.

I’m like that because:

  • I need a hobby
  • weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
  • now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it’s just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
  • Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
  • personal issues

*=Nim

Might I suggest a Haskell for the indecisive diner?

Right off the bat no Godot 4 bindings at least that I’m seeing in search, so that problem persists.

I’m not quite sure on style but I want a jack-of-all-trades language (speed, ease, capability, options, platform options etc) and that’s a high bar. Nim seems like an outlier from everything I can see.

Actually no, some of the Haskell syntax stuff I’m seeing it making me mad.

Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?

Likely isn’t gonna be beatifull, but it should work.

It’s something like that, but way beyond me so I couldn’t get something manually let-alone full bindings. I was making a polygon loader+text format for Raylib and didn’t even finish that somewhat due to it not being straightforward to properly implement/use (beyond what I had already that is, and that I’d probably need to make an editor too). And a big reason for wanting Godot is to create and animate polygons in-engine eye example with an editor so yeah I’d rather wait.

maybe, on off-chance, you fall under the term script monkey?

it’s like someone who understands well enough to run things but not grok through.

just remembered stumbling on it while reading some sci-fi.

It says you should write some damn code.

Anyone can program, granted they aren’t intimidated by the concept… It’s actually very easy, and most professionals are pretty bad at it.

I, and probably lots of others, would be happy to recommend a starting point based on your interests. If nothing else, it will make you smarter

Anyone who says Matlab is their favorite programming language is very misguided

At least with labview there’s all sorts of NI proprietary shit which makes instrumenting labview equipment slightly less torturous. Matlab is literally just expensive Python inside the world’s worst GUI and one indexing so it’s annoying to port algorithms out of it

It’s the only programming language I really delved into. I haven’t had to program since college. I found it very useful.

My relationship with JavaScript is more like an abusive relationship that I can’t escape from because it pays all the bills.

It’s worth going hungry in the dark. Lawyer up and hit the gym. JS doesn’t deserve you.

And a Python developer is born!

You guys are using typescript right? … right?

Yes. However, The same cannot be said for every other dev on the project.

Typescript helps a lot but JS still lacks a lot of the functionality, and especially the tooling, available in other frameworks.

Going from ASP.Net Core to NestJS is like digging holes with a shovel instead of a backhoe. It feels like a huge downgrade. And then half your time is spent dealing with the incredibly finicky dev environment.

I am not impressed.
