programming
@Efi well I am removing them
and then defining this in the standard library:
data Optional<a> = Some(a) | Nothing
programming
@Efi nulls can be replaced with Optional<Type> or Maybe<Type>
which means that suddenly we don't have things breaking type safety
and checking for nulls is now ensured at compile time, rather than a problem that can happen at runtime
and Optional<Type> can be compiled down to a null check, so it's not "less efficient"
nomic: online edition
@Efi (like that is actually a rule change that could happen)
nomic: online edition
@Efi exactly
nomic: online edition
like, I want a bit which allows you to browse the rules and connections between them easily - but people can change the rules about how rules work, so either I have to ignore that or I have to account for all possible rule changes?
nomic: online edition
I wanna make an online place to play nomic, but it's either just
a chatroom + some virtual play space
or
something that makes the mechanics smoother, but potentially just doesn't work because you can change the rules
programming
where's my C with ADTs, higher order functions, and no null
programming
every few months I'm like
"I should make C, but better"
and so I start designing a simple language, and slowly I'm like "ooo I think I should have this, that would make it easier" and I add on more and more things
and then I realise that it's basically rust and I'd have to write a hugely complicated compiler for it and no-one would ever use it
woops it's the afternoon

boosted
free love means to love without expecting anything in return
maybe you're thinking of shareware love
yall I wrote a string de-duplicator thing in Perl. it's trash, I'm sure, but I wanted to see if I could do it without looking online (for once) or asking and i dun did the do ;o; (code inside)
@shekkiesqueaks nice!
if you boost this toot, I'll explode!
@Efi I miss the second part, I don't miss the first
@Efi just because the characters are catholic doesn't mean the movie is
hot take on input methods (with sources! that I can't find right now because my brain is out of brainergy)
mice are difficult to learn and difficult to use, especially for people with injuries or disabilities
this is a major reason why smartphones and tablets have gotten very popular - touch input is much, much less taxing
