They should be related to a #language#technology task, able to be automatically evaluated, with training and test #data able to be distributed to participants at low- or no-cost, and should be fun!
When a programming language's website says it's a "general-purpose language", I already kind of want to not use it, because it probably won't offer anything that I can't get in another language.
I'd like to see a world where every language serves exactly one area of programming, and is highly specialized for that area.
@gregorni I like being guided by languages – forced, not just optinally. I find it reassuring. You see so many multi-paradigm languages. But I want to be called out for writing one part functional and another object oriented. Code that compiles and does what I want – okay – but clean code is just so much easier to maintain. And on that note, I just can't stand type inference. It's cool what the compiler understands, but do I, and do we agree? And yes, those catch all languages make you choose.
@camelCaseNick But this is a different problem. I'm not talking about the safety, convenience, or intelligence that a programming language may or may not come with. I'm simply talking about the type of programming tasks that a language is intended to be used for (AI, Game Development, Systems Programming, Data Science, Embedded Systems). In this context I find being "General Purpose" a disadvantage, since you can't specialize in any specific area, or add features that only benefit that area.
hello my username is JavaJuggler i am a programmer and i love to create things that help people in their daily lives. i am the creator and developer of https://chat-to.dev which is a site where programmers of all levels can create chat rooms to talk, share, teach and learn things related to programming. with this i decided to invite you to visit my site and enjoy all the features it contains. give me feedback if you visit my site. thanks #Programming#Coding#Developer#CodeNewbie#DevLife
I'd like to suggest that anyone who says Copilot saves them time is an indication that they're not doing their job, ie accepted the code without taking the time to think through each line and its implications.
To properly review code, you have to consider for each variable, each expression, whether it's appropriate, how it interacts with the rest of the program, etc.
Since you didn't author the code I'd say this should take more time than if you wrote it yourself.
I'm handling sponsorships for this year's Perl and Raku Conference. Please share this far and wide so that we can get as many new sponsors as possible. ❤️
Everyone! If your #business depends on #Perl or #RakuLang please consider supporting the communities you rely on!
One good way to ensure a sustainable future for #OpenSource ecosystems like these, is to support active and fertile venues for learning and teaching these technologies.
Right now, you can help by supporting the Perl and Raku Conference, and later this year, the London Perl Workshop.
Is this relevant for you? Forward it to your manager! 💯
Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?
Don’t miss the chance to participate in the Erlang Workshop!
The Erlang Workshop brings together the open source, academic, and industrial communities of Erlang, other BEAM-related languages, actor model programming, distribution, and concurrency to discuss techniques, technologies, languages, and other relevant topics.
Important dates:
Paper submission: May 30
Notification: June 27
Camera Ready: July
