Friendly reminder!
So called code formatters must die. If you can't appreciate my artistic code style, you don't deserve me.
@pureevil What about languages that enforce certain syntactic sugar like Python, should they be eradicated? 😏
@scathach @m0xee I used to play EVE Online. That's probably the most hardcore Python project I have ever encountered. The source code isn't public, but the developers tech blogs were fascinating.
For example, since EVE was started around 2001, it featured custom module implementation, custom strings, and a lot of other weird shenanigans. For reasons, because what came with python sucked enormously.
Then there is the fact that CCP Games (totally unrelated to the China Communist Party!) had to effectively fund a separate python implementation, called Stackless.
From what I know, their python code isn't even idiomatic python. It looks more like Erlang with Python syntax.
@pureevil
Yes, you are right. I like Python, but I agree it's hardly the best language out there because nowadays it's often used for things it wasn't originally designed fo, now they are dragging static typing into it it's becoming even more of a mess. Web Development, Data Science — sure, you can do all that, you can do anything, but that hardly made the language itself any better.
But is TypeScript a better language? I'm not sure 🤔
@scathach
@m0xee @scathach who even mentioned TypeScript? It's all shit. It's all pure shit.
