back when we studied it it was mainly in regards to databases

It was really fine when it just came to declaring them

I do like how it handles variables

and then comes the recursion on literally everything <:GWseremePeepoLife:402867847950237698>

@Deleted User people are such pussies about c/cpp

So much stuff that you can just do in C/C++ that you just basically can't in fancy "clean" high level languages. I'm teaching my son C right now (he's 12) because I don't want him learning some pussy language like Python first and then being like "omg C is hard and there's all these brakets and semicolons"

I learned C first because I'm not a little bitch and I'm damn glad I did. Had I learned like JS or soemthing first I'd be a shit coder

so many devs now that have no fucking idea how memory works or the power of a pointer

My favourite language was an academic one called DLX, it was a bastardized version of MIPS. Most fun I ever had in Comp Sci.

semis are the shit

fuck am i supposed to do without brackets?

indent m8

significant whitespace

why have brackets when you can have a specific non negotiable number of spaces do the same thing

that honestly sounds terrible

the insignifigance of whitespace is an organizational godsend

that's basically python

one of my only IRL coder friends likes these pretty languages

Ruby, Go, etc

I used to write c/cpp but like

I ain't got the time for that shit now

so I just roll ezmode these days

php for web because fuck it and python for basically anything else

i've nothing against using whatever's quickest

but the whitespace thing just blows my mind how anyone would see that as an advantage

*technically* it forces you to stick to a standard of formatting

which is arguably not a bad thing

i reserve the right to code like an autistic

but I've seen many occasions where people are like "watfk how python?????" because they've copied the code with space indents

and added to it with tabs

lol

my 68k assembler requires everything but labels and comments to have at least one tab at the beginning of the line

that's annoying enough on its own

I don't write much code these days, mostly for fucking about stufd

i have mixed feelings because i firmly believe in just dealing with any language's egocentricities, provided there's a benefit to using it

though I did write a web based quote/job database for my boss and he jizzed his pants

codeigniter (PHP), mysql, bootstrap and some gay as fuck pdf library

then immediately i started discovering that people are idiots and had to start implementing shit I had not even considered

my boss' laptop has the patchiest fucking WiFi so I had to add this

if he loses connection to the database it disables the save button
