which was a stupid decision imo. like C++'s QML, they started with JS

do you use SCSS and Typescript? or a purist javascript boi

Just purist, I don't like using libraries stuff that builds code. I like to know exactly whats going on

Typescript id recommend highly especially if you are familiar with C#, but in the end it is a shoehorn of a fake ass type system into javascript's shitty proto nonsense

i guess its just what youre used to

exactly, it's good if you have a huge app with lotsa devs.

https://electronjs.org/

NodeJS and Electron

Ive played with electron

also i keep flipping back and forth from vue.js and angular.js lol

Js is maybe the only thing that I've ever been recommended and warned about in equal measure

the problem is theres no alternative

so its not like you have a choice lol

That's basically it yeah

Some of my friends swear by Python, never really got into that one

Lol i have been bashing my buddy who im trying to get him into code for using python instead of C# for months and hes finally come over to the C# side

Python syntax is appealing to people who like their code to read like english

like VB almost...

I do love c# but.. I hate to say it the typing system gets in the way sometimes.

I adore strongly typed languages. Its a MUST for me. I cant think properly in dynamically typed langs

it enforces logical design and proper use of abstraction and inheritance and all that

I was thinking about jumping into Rust

I was writing a card deck class that I wanted to be able to handle strings and numbers at the same time and it just got to be too much. I wanted it to be able to handle a deck of playing cards or user defined deck of trading cards. I could still do it but had to jump threw many hoops with conversions. Where as it would have been a few lines of JS to do what took a page of code in c#

```cs
public abstract class DeckOfCardsBase<TValue>
{
public Collection<TValue> Cards { get; set; }
}
public class CardsIntegralDeck : DeckOfCardsBase<int>
{
}
public class TradingCardsDeck : DeckOfCardsBase<string>
{
}
```

something like that, the use of generics would allow for you to base class that out and provide 2 implementations.

but yeah

Looking at my code

http://opieandanthonylive.info/alpha3/home.html this is my attempt btw at my radio archive site, Its a little templatey for sure, kinda gave up on it just cause i got sick of figuring out vue.js lol

looks nice

I had a working version of it that was much more simple but fuckin godaddy axed me down after my bandwidth was hitting 56 terrabytes of streaming data per month hahahah

on a shared plan

You guys should look into Golang, which is also strictly typed but it does have some nice runtime type flexibility as well as a really nice reflection library

i didnt know that "unlimited bandwidth and storage" meant "totally limited lol"

it isn't OOP like Java but it's close enough

I have a book on authoring a compiler in Golang, i havent read much of it yet

it seems like a cool language though

Don't say the J word! Shhh... lol

I hate the java runtime

@FrostyCrits Only said it because I thought I saw some Java above. Although reading in more depth it appears to be C# which I have zero experience with

because fuck Microsoft

at work, we have 2 branches of security systems, we diverged ours to be based on wpf and c# .net, and the rail and subway management shit for big systems like NYC and chicago went Java
