Things I like: programming (probably in Rust), computer hardware, music, guitars, synthesizers, video games
I mean, 2 and 4 have been true already for quite some time in my experience.
Well with Arabic numerals, zero is also the most physically round. :)
Also worth noting that the fact that Linux gaming works at all on many “Windows-exclusive” titles is an absolute magnificent feat of engineering. For the longest time we’ve been working to get games working on Linux despite both game developers and engine makers historically expressing anything between disinterest and antagonism towards supporting games on Linux.
But I also get that the final product is still not all that smooth from a user’s perspective. Just be sure to put the blame on where it belongs (definitely not Linux, or Wine who has been bending over backwards for over a decade to swim against the flow).
I’d call it Paradox Lang, or PL for short. It even has features that are contradictory to each other, you just have to declare which mode you want at the top of every file. Can you imagine. :)
The only feature it doesn’t have is “lightweight and minimal language”.
Quite a few languages that are major players now started as hobby languages.
Well I guess I am part of “they” since I have my own programming language pet project. Why did I create it? Because I wanted to, mostly. Sure, there are also some finer language design choices I wanted to choose differently for my preference, but mainly I just wanted to learn how.
Welcome to JavaScript! This is the expected behavior. For the life of me, it still boggles my mind. I refuse to write JavaScript anymore.
