I definitely have the soapy gene, but don’t mind the taste. I blame thrills soap gum, I occasionally enjoyed that as a kid. My sister also has the gene and can’t stand the taste.
After years, and many languages, I still have to say Ada. Kotlin, Rust, Julia, and Nim are my current contenders to overtake, but here’s what Ada does well enough to still be my preferred tool when appropriate:
There are some situation where Ada shows its age:
func
/proc
(Nim) vs fun
(Kotlin) vs fn
(Rust) doesn’t make much difference to me, but function X returns Y
/procedure X
starts to add a lot of visual noise to a file.Here’s when I use the alternatives, and their biggest weaknesses:
Thank you for attending my TED talk :P. Any questions?
Wait until you learn about the shell specific /dev “files” like /dev/udp and /dev/tcp (which can send/recv IP traffic as if from a file)!
That would be an excellent idea. But I feel like an even broader community should be created. Like a generic book club, but for code bases! Could even have a small handful of different code bases on the go at a time. I’d love to get to know lemmy’s, but also e.g. neovim, or even unciv :)
Maybe one day it could even start tackling Moby Dick!
