PirateSoftware doesn't use enums for whatever reason, instead he uses raw integer values with hand comments (and allegedly an Excel doc) on what is what, which is one of the reasons behind his awful code, which in turn lead to him not being able to ship his game.

Roaches can’t enumerate

Is that the guy?

TBF enums in any language other than rust are bad.

But enumerators (aka. iterators) typically have nothing to do with enums, no?

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 minutes ago

They are just named integers. The compiler takes care of all that.

Please elaborate.

Enums in Rust are spicier unions, and Rust boosters like to paint it as the perfect way to do it, because it's the best language ever, with no faults. If you disagree, they'll try to frame you as a Lunduke fan and a bigot.

Iffind rust interesting but I don't use it enough to know anything deep about it.

All I know is that I am not made for c++.

Hell I can't keep track of pointers and scopes. And who the hell made templates?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Templates outside of D are a mess, and the reason why metaprogramming has a bad name. Templates inside D are easy to use, and its attempt at it is something more language should copy.

Glances nervously at my own code using more and more enums now-a-days.
