@0xglitchbyte It’s really not hard to fork a repo, do whatever the heck you want, work out the kinks, and see if you’ve made something genuinely better rather than mess around on the main repo. Somehow we all forgot that.
@TheGingerBill Totally fair. I guess a key idea of using Fat Structs is designing them such that all states are technically valid. What I’m curious about is how to sell the idea to those who are unfamiliar.
@TrisH0x2A In the Rust one, you can make main return a Result and replace your unwraps with ‘?’. It’s cleaner and communicates that main can fail instead of having panic points.
@TheGingerBill@ThePrimeagen@TheGingerBill Is there any performance benefit to private functions in Odin? Like how static functions in C are often inlined at compile time and never seen by the linker?
@_winter_wonders Python is most popular with non-expert programmers (people who need programming to perform at a different kind of job). These people don't usually have anything else to compare it to.
@nicbarkeragain X desperately needs a setting to turn off replies. I genuinely do not care about 90% of replies, I follow people for their well-formed, publicly offered thoughts.
@rfleury I don’t mind the rewrite or the choice of language or the use of AI. I think it was extremely reckless to merge to main so quickly without a proper trial period. A fork that users could opt into would have been more responsible.
A Programmer's Loss of Identity:

“I don't belong anymore. The group I identified with valued learning. For the first time in my life, I'm suddenly wary of meeting other 'computer programmers'. There's a decent chance we won’t have much in common.”
