This this this!!! I know this is a post from the place that shall not be named, but it just showcases the issues with ChatGPT (this is from when GPT4 was just released)

As someone who works extensively in Java, I agree, side-effects are tough and should be avoided in OOP. A lot of teams are moving toward more of an immutable object pattern as a standard, but its tough to enforce and adds a lot to the verbosity of the language.

Rust is a language I am currently in the process of learning and it seems great! 👍

I can’t even access the lemmy.world instance. It just always errors out for me.

But I like the idea of smaller servers that specialize in a specific hobby/interest/topic and then all the /c/ communities can be centred around that topic and moderated appropriately. I think it leads to better discussion between people looking for programming topics.
