chat what to do in this scenario

@fiore is this me ??? i hope this is me i love javascrip!!!!! javascript on bottom!!!

@max yeas this is you now die kill die die stab stab kill murder

@fiore i did say javascript on bottom btw not on top which would be a form of me shilling it

@max i rlly wanted to check out that rss feed thing you made but i am not installing deno im sorry maybe another day

@max another ryan dahl js runtime has hit the towers

@fiore when will people realise the towers fell themselves

@max they crumbled bc they didnt build them with BUN THE BEST JAVASCRIPT RUNTIME TO RRUN YOUR INFREASTRUCTURE ON USE BUN ITS FAST AND PERFECT TO BE RUN ON THE SERVER RUN JAVASCTRIPT ON THE SERVER RIGHT NOW

@fiore i have considered it but at the time i was straight up locked into deno now that im indifferent to it now maybe ill try bun

@max javascript is a curse and honestly it s impressive ppl do the things they do with it but i want is as far as possible from anything that isnt my web browser

@fiore dw all of my deno projects run on the web hope ur hapy now

@max oh i didnt go deep enough in the repos to actually figure that out am i an awful person did i judge too fast

(also im mainly joking in this whole thread )

@fiore its ok your still good ive kinda moved onto c# anyway

@max the web browser project seems big how is that going ? also how is c# is it nice

@fiore 0.5% progress on the rewrite also c# is nice i like the idea of namespaces but i fucking hate the formatting all the other c# developers do thats why i call it gnu coding standard bc its shit

@max gnu coding standard on the microsoft language , sounds awesome

@fiore it honestly looks like it if you saw it lmao

@max i have no idea how gnu code looks fortunately ive only used languages with very strict formatting rules and with strict formatters ( black for python and cargo fmt in rust )

ig there isnt much to be formatted in fortran code

@fiore since when were there formatters for python lmao

@max pep8 actually has very strict rules so black ends up being a very strict (=> good) formatter

@fiore if i used a strict formatter with c# it would turn into that gnu coding standard shit

@max maybe i should try c# i might enjoy it actually ive seen ppl happy with it , but also idk i might want to try java first so i can do minecraft mods and android apps

@fiore @max it's a nice language, just some parts about .net are anniying
@fiore @max also pretty much the fastest language with gc i think
@fiore @snacks rule of thumb is to assume everything is better than go even when go surpasses anything
@max @fiore go is really good at real time as far as garbage collected languages go and the simplicity makes yoz hust het done with shit

@snacks @fiore @max
Also I've seen those who are normally JS devs write Go code and like it… Just saying! 😜

@m0xee @snacks @fiore i sometimes write typescript and i hate it!!!! i hope they kill the go gopher!!!

@max @snacks @m0xee i think the gopher would be nice to hug tho

and then murder

@fiore @max @snacks
Oh, come on, let's be civil here!
(Just trick your mind into thinking it's Plan 9 Glenda β€” ain't easy considering the lack of ears, but life is SO-O MUCH easier that way 🀭)

@fiore @max @snacks
I agree! The main point: it's hard to move away from β€” that is indeed so and it's very important when you're using it commercially, as for other disadvantages β€” they have their counterparts in other languages, the article even gives a few examples of those.
One other thing that strikes me: indeed, it has very opinionated defaults and your code is to be error-prone if you're writing it just by looking at others' code, which is important for junior devs…

@fiore @max @snacks
You have to learn how to write *idiomatic* Go code (at least read The Go Programming Language), then a lot of mistakes are easy to avoid β€” and a lot of things start making sense, those that don't β€” never do πŸ˜‚

@fiore @max @snacks
Indeed, the compiler doesn't warn you about shit… But in case with Rust you're in some cases doing things in a very inefficient way just to make the compiler SHUT THE FUCK UP β€” because you feel that re-writing it in an idiomatic way for Rust might make your head explode 🀯
All in all, nothing is perfect, the article is absolutely right about that.
