What it feels like to program in JavaScript

ugh so that’s why
I thought this was a teardrop. I guess that works too lol
As an aside, I have a really hard time understanding why people enjoy spelunking. Extreme cave diving.
I literally get: jumping out of planes, bungee jumping, huge zip lines, extreme heli-skiing, surfing crazy waves, shooting yourself to space, and so forth. That actually makes perfect sense to me.
But spelunking? Putting yourself into a tiny crowded space surrounded by rock? I don't get that.
Now, I've been to a deep coal mine in Pennsylvania. It was fun to explore. But it was a safe thing where we could walk around, etc. So now I know what a coal mine looks like, and get to experience being unusually deep underground. But it's not extreme spelunking, like putting yourself through tiny rock holes.
What languages do you prefer to code in and why?
Python. C
Haskell: distilling ad hoc solutions into mathematical gems
Rust: The safety of Haskell but with 1000x the performance. Probably my most used language these days.
C: Low level bit manipulation, portability, fast compile speed. Lingua franca of programming languages.
Python: Simple syntax, great at scripting prototypes and can provide a nice interface on top of native code if needed
These are the main ones I use these days.
Absolutely hate this. Makes my breathing heavy. 🫨
console.log(NaN === NaN); // false
Good news is it looks pretty dry.
More comfortable
It’s not really the language it’s the community that has to work with versions that do not exist yet which produced the shittiest fucking toolchain EVAR
Yeah
I've explored this cave - Nutty Putty - before they closed it. My roommate busted his ankle (complete compound fracture) on one of our trips. Good times.
Why would anyone ever do that? 🤔😅😂🤦♂️
