How exactly do you promote anything without saying “it’s better than the competition” in some way?
What else can you say about a programming language? There’s literally not a single point where a feature is not a comparison to the rest of the languages. There’s exactly one actual barrier: turing completeness. And that bar is so low, even Excel gets over it.
I really didnt put all that thought into it when I posted this (certainly wasn’t looking to evangelize Rust). It was mildly amusing (memory safety came to mind) and I needed a title somewhat related to the meme was really all there was to it.
The specifics of C’s design could barely be less important. In the 70s it was one of countless ALGOL derivatives churned out on-demand to support R&D projects like Unix.
Unix succeeded, but it could have been written in any of these languages. The C design process was governed by the difficulty of compiler implementation; everyone was copying ALGOL 68 but some of the features took too long to implement. If Dennis Ritchie had an extra free weekend in 1972, C might have a module system. But he didn’t, so it doesn’t.
That’s because Rust solves lots of issues caused by C, of course they are going to twist that knife and use it as a selling points. Humour is not bad, I’ve done lots of C and C++ and am not bothered a bit by it.
It doesn’t reduce the importance of the language at all, just sheds some light on safer languages, Rust or not.
Word, Rust shills are the most annoying and shitting of the programming language zealots I’ve seen since the Java Enterprise shilling of the early 200xs. WHat’s worse, their memes aren’t even good, unlike the JS memes.
This code is going to make me have a stroke. What language is this? Why does the game object have an internal bug tracker implementation? Does the game force itself into wishlists? If yes, why stop at 7000?
I know I shouldn’t get so mad at a random internet joke but this one makes me twitchy.
I would take the $500 upfront and just log in to Squarespace or whatever website building service there is, do a simple design, tell him he needs to pay this subscription, argue with him and dad why there must be monthly or annual fees and they could have done this themselves for cheaper, whichever way they chose to pay the subscription or not I still get $500 for 2 hours work and the knowledge my father won’t bother me again with website designs
For $500 I’d slap together some fitting WordPress stuff to suit their subject matter and teach them about domain registry and hosting. Then I’d tell them to come back to me with more if they’re interested in any specific features they’re not interested in implementing themselves later.
$500 is worth a little bit of work and I can give them a product that’s as aimless as their ambition for it. They certainly can’t get more than they’re asking for if they don’t know what to ask for.
Chances are this is a kid or NEET and all his friend wants is a super simple website with basic info for his local business. Dad is either doing him a favor, or giving him some pocket change so he’ll stop bothering him for money for a month. This is what happens when you don’t teach your children to be adults, and give them everything instead. Seen it too many times.
Yeah true, many examples could bee true, like the kid could even be a prick and this could be for his buddy that needs a cancer donation page, Like this one.
I could not know, nor can you, due to the limited information we received, I made up a scenario and you made up a scenario. I think chances, like you mentioned in the start, are neither of us being correct or incorrect, we both are just talking around Schrodinger’s website
