@kiilas as a haskell programmer, I don't agree with that at all - but I will say I'd much much much rather write C than Java or javascript or PHP

@kiilas I'm also not hating on modern languages, because I use quite a few (rust, idris, haskell if you consider that to be modern)

I'm have a problem with something very similar: "progress" which is actually just "the same things as before, but without learning any of the lessons we learnt from the things before"

(and also that most modern software engineering doesn't focus on those good things: doing what's expected well and without bugs)

@BatElite I only noticed that I said good morning because of this, so thankyou

@Liophu *hugs*

wait, hang on.... I didn't go to sleep, why am I saying good morning

I'm so confused

@kiilas this is a huge problem I have with "modern" languages - they often just copy C, without even looking into any of the programming language developments of the past 30 years

good morning~

@fillertrack D::

One thing I worry about with my guide is that my ratings are different to other people's.

Doctor Who fans generally want me to put more things into the "watch" category, whereas people who haven't experienced much Doctor Who generally want me to put less...

(Although, there has been one instance where I put a story into "watch" originally, because of nostalgia, but a fan was like "uhh.... no? That's one of the worst stories" and they were right)

@Baxter oooo

I am not enjoying The Abominable Snowmen very much, tbh

@BatElite but yeah, I could be like "this fanfiction isn't cannon", but that feels less fun

@BatElite in the classic series, the companions couldn't leave the TARDIS without also leaving the Doctor forever - the doctor didn't have control of the destination, so could never go back to pick them up, even if they wanted to

@salameleon oh no!
