I love how JS is just a mutant blob of flesh.
This is awesome. Rust wearing full plate armor to dinner is hilarious… Also what’s up with Scala? lmao
I assume Scala is like a “gateway” (drug) to functional programming by way of also supporting imperative and object oriented paradigms.
Probably more importantly, it runs on the JVM and is designed to interoperate with existing Java code. (FWIW, I actually think they made a major mistake in how they handle null Java objects, and that Kotlin did better here; but Kotlin is much newer.)
My experience in going from C to C++ was different: if you’re not converting everything from mallocs with custom addressing systems to the collections framework, you’re not living.
My experience with C++ was when C++ was a relatively new thing. Practically the only notable feature provided by the standard library, was that unholy abuse of bit shift operators for I/O. No standard collections or any other data types.
And every compiler would consider something else a valid C++ code or interpret the same code differently.
I am little bit prejudiced since then… and that is probably where the author is coming from too.
Then things were just getting more complicated (templates and other new syntax quirks), to fill the holes in attempts to make C a ‘high level language’.
Erlang really is the necromancer’s language.
Why is Swift… like that?
Thanks for a good morning laugh!
