Isn't that the role of Rust?

Still need to learn this one but I have no time on top of uni course. I guess I'll pick it up next July

Exactly, coming from Java it was such a big difference. Previously I could click on any class or method and view the implementation, with Python, suddenly everything was a convoluted jungle of methods popping into existence during runtime or being loaded from some opaque binary.

This feels like that XKCD comic.

"There are 14 competing standards..."

Anon is my C language programming college professor. He was also a linux evangelist, and got me to start daily driving/dualbooting linux.

Fuck C++. IMO the Microsoft Windows of the programming languages.

This is why we should only use Python. :)

So great for programming, with no downsides. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

I'm a genius, i know.

Screams in GIL

Try OO C and you’ll see why C++ is the way it is.

Stroustrop’s first cut of C++ was called “C With Classes.”

I wish there was a game dev group like Motion Twin (ie., nonconventional anti-hierarchical organization), who relied and supported open standards only, and kept at least the engine portions of their games open-source.

Yes

Would be a bit weird expecting all those C++ people to use a language that will be invented 27 years after the language they chose to learn?

I got paid good money to write C++ for several years.

It is a shit language, and people love it for the same reason that they love being in a fraternity with hazing rituals.

Not really, the role of Rust is type/memory safety, you can still have unoptimized games. Also Rust is more complicated.

Verse, Scratch and GDScript are video game scripts.

And every one of those tools can kill you.

It's funny that you think Python is anything else than a wrapper for real languages that get shit done.

EULAs aren't real.

For the free beer?

Sounds like frats have moved on to ketamine, which is even more depressing to me somehow

Let me know how many LLMs you can run locally without multiple entire suites of python libraries.

Muchless train an LLM.

Yeah, load bearing 'wrappers'.

I like C++ but then again, I am just a modder so I have no idea what it's actually bad at since it does everything I need and it's easy. I'm not writing whole big programs that serve a huge company or anything. Hell, I ain't even making entire games.

Can someone ELI5 what's wrong with it?

It doesn't eliminate logic bugs. I'd argue these are way more relevant in day to day programming.

Has anyone ever invented actual good modern language yet?

yes it's called rust
