C: You build a horse. Well, it's not really a horse, but it can do almost all the essential horse-things. It's incredibly fast and compact. Your horse is named "Blue\0\0\0\0\0T~31wsXEi]DiMGW8mh^3". Oh, and now someone else owns it.

Is it a dig against C# only being good when using it from F#, i.e. OCaml for .Net or am I overthinking this?

[–] ElDuderino@lemmus.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know. I thought it was a dig with certain C# dev products trying to mimic how other technologies behave, like WebForms.

In Horse64:

import horses from horses.horse64.org

func main {
    var my_horse = horses.Horse(color="brown")
}

And in Horse64 Root:

import horses from horses.horse64.org

func main -> bool {
    var my_horse <- horses.Horse
    my_horse.init("brown")
    if failed(my_horse.init) {
        return no
    }

    defer my_horse.destroy()

    my_horse.run()
    if failed(my_horse.run) {
        my_horse.stop()
        return no
    }

    my_horse.stop()
    if failed(my_horse.stop) {
        return no
    }

    my_horse.eat("hay")
    if failed(my_horse.eat) {
        return no
    }

    return yes
}

And here I am glad that I try to avoid phpMyAdmin too, whenever possible.

ruby: you built a horse that builds a horse to build your horse. your barn is too small. it crashes. everyone is dead.

As a non-programmer, TIL Java and JavaScript are two different languages.

When JS was being developed, Java was all the rage and it merely was riding it's coattails. At the time of its creation it was nothing like Java either.

the only thing they have in common is how insufferable it is to develop with them.

Person1: I built a script in Java.

Person2: So Javascript?

Person 1: NO!
