@BatElite I didn't actually, I've only got these choices: https://computerfairi.es/media/TDD7RDtGbnalfd8OsnE

@Terxbor it's ok - it's very different to a lot of other places.
The main thing is to always ask for consent and be ready for people to say no.

programming languages
@Efi sorry I didn't mean strictly pointers
you get the same problem in languages with null (or nil) but no pointers.
@BatElite you better hide the evidence quick, I think someone's coming!
programming languages
@Efi there's an option type!
it's either
Some(value)
or
None
so if your function needs to sometimes return nothing, you have to wrap it up in an option.
The point of this: you never get null pointer errors. Ever. Because the language knows if you forgot to check.
affection
@Efi invite a bunch of people around, and we all take turns smooching you and telling you how much we love you
@BatElite *immediately collapses into a tangled pile*
wow!
affection
@Efi *offers energy filled hugs*
@catoutofbed@octodon.social good night, soft sweet Jess
programming languages
rust: includes no null and an optional type, a great way to prevent run time errors
also rust: includes an unwrap function that bypasses the safety of the optional type and can cause run time errors
@lucidiot@tiny.tilde.website tiling window managers confuse so many people, it's great
