I just for the first time wrote a Rust #[derive()] statement without having to go look up the #attribute syntax. I am proud of myself. This is only hard because I have to remember which one is the Rust attribute syntax and which one is the C++ attribute syntax and when I need an exclamation mark. Honestly, the Go equivalent of attributes starts to seem a little appealing just because it doesn't look enough like any other language to get me confused

Once you know about five or so different programming languages you find you are a better programming because your mind is expanded to the various possibilities of the programming universe. And once you know like, between twelve and thirty programming languages instead drawbacks start to set in and you cannot remember how to get the length of a string in any one language without using Google because your brain simply presents you with too many options

When you know a couple dozen of them you start creating your own one so you would never forget how to get the length of a string ever again — and when you've created five of them… you can't remember anything anymore 🥺
