Meanwhile IntelliJ: let’s copycat VSCodium UI

So, all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass whataboutism? Have a good day

Aand what is your point?

Scanned the article: neither mission, nor purpose, nor type coercion unga-bunga explained. Or was I expected to see the greatness of the language and be humbled by its glory and might?

Hear me out:

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11)

Or

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)

Lol. In a dynamically typed language? I will do this always, that’s why I am using it

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Python will happily let you overwrite its own internals while running, for instance

Damn, that’s cool and I did not even know. Pretty sure I would not do this in production code, but very glad very this possibility exists

Someone should get their hands on someone like me and someone like you and study their brains. I spend most time with PHP and C++, and Python looks like an attempt to write code like prose literature. Very interesting how much of this is habbit, as it can’t be just that: reading prose and poetry in English/Russian/Japanese never produced this kind of resentment

As much as I am inclined to agree with this, still can’t

see: LISP

Also, see: Python with more than three lines of logic. I could suspect that’s just the me-versus-whitespaces thing, but no, YAML files do not get me dizzy in under thirty seconds of reading. Van Rossum made a huge miscalculation here

Readability? Me eyes bleed from a day of partially staring at python code, and there is a whole another week of that ahead. Tzinch (Edit: Tzeentch) help me

OPEN ME YOUR MIND

Point not made. First time around I read this as “elitist devs looking down on other devs thinking the latter can’t figure out a good UX”, which instantly gets countered with “it is a skill issue alright, but with all the people who design to UX to be exactly that (looking at you too, Android)”

Ok, so this is about devs making software on their own and producing bad UX? Wow, news flash: most devs, even good ones, are not good UI/UX designers, that’s a completely different skill

Yeah. JS is okay with lots of funny (and not fun) type coercions (toString on everything? really?), has no notion of reference as data type, but somehow automatic iteration on array by “==” operator is too much

You are right, that’s not want I would want from it, it is bad, I will never like that. And you are also right there are things even worse than this, no question there

Edit: “implementing iteration on == would have been too much” is an invalid argument, if anyone had doubts

And I can’t take this one. I did not ask if an object referenced by a is the same object referenced by b, I asked if two empty collections of values are equal. And an empty bag can easily be substituted by another empty bag, there is no class/instance tricky business here. And the fact that in JS arrays are objects is again JS-specific insanity. Still I thank you for sharing your thoughts

NeoVim. Once I looked at vim as an IDE, I won’t look back

Like I didn’t know 😂

console.log([] == [])

And I am eternally grateful for that. Why, yes, if I am playing with something I don’t understand - what was the last time a fire gently asked anyone “Do you really want to get a burn?”

Oh, p-lease, can force it my ass, Linux has never failed to shutdown on me when using plain obvious GUI method. windows - can easily hang on forever as long as computer stays powered. The point of all the memes is exactly insane windows defaults, not the things that can or can’t be done by someone with enough knowledge

Well, JS does suck. It doesn’t matter how much time I spend programming, this truth will stand
