I mean it’s a language specifically designed to be easy and quick to learn. Even if you don’t work with primarily, you’ll find it useful for stuff like cli programs, advanced scripts(instead of python), small services, etc.

But no shorter
“Quitting your job to make games” is just like quitting your job to write your novel
I think it’s actually worse since you can’t directly make money from the game while making it. You can stream for example, but it requires a completely different skillset.
Compare that to, for example, writers releasing chapters on royal road, getting some funding through patreon while writing (in return for advanced chapters), and quitting their jobs when the book sales pick up. Like yeah it’s still really hard to make good money, but the possibility of slowly progressing into full time writing is why people can try to do it.

Programming@programming.dev•i want to learn/use functional programming language
11·1 年前Common Lisp on the other hand is more of a 1980s language where you can use a functional style some of the time, and with some pain.
Isn’t the main issue with it that you’re not forced to be functional? It’s supposed to be pretty good at it with the correct libraries.
Either way, you’d start by reading SICP
You really don’t want OP to learn lis

World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Is Added to Human Rights WatchlistEnglish
4·2 年前You should have been added after like a century of constantly invading countries, funding extremists, setting up “revolutions” promoting their puppets, causing genocide, and doing war crimes nobody can persecute you for. Who needs zionisists when the entire country is a temple to unrestricted capitalism run by oligarchs.
Got the same message, but from a different issue

Programming@programming.dev•Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?
22·2 年前Doom Emacs and lazyvim nvim.
Don’t know about helix, and don’t really care.
Modal is incomparably more comfortable, that’s the main benefit.
The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity
Do you imagine vi-based editors don’t let you use your mouse or what? Go through vim-tutor, learn the basic shortcuts you need, and you’re back to your old productivity in a few days. You don’t need to learn vi" to select a string, you can just use your mouse.
No offense to you or your habits, but C-arrow is an idiotic movement scheme. If you have to leave the home row to move around the text, you fucked up.
Just go through vim tutor…
Inb4 “But it’s easier for people to join, everyone has discord”
If someone can’t take 2 minutes to register to a forum/Lemmy/whatever they’re not going to give any good contributions to your community… Those are the same lazy bastards that create a post instead of literally googling their title and getting the answers immediately.
Discord, lol… At least use matrix if you’re going down the road of suboptimal communication.
Those look more like goldfish than grass carp

Programming@programming.dev•The IDEs we had 30 years ago... and we lost
2·2 年前I dislike that it takes way too long to boot
- Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
- Improve your config and it’ll start in under a second anyways

Programming@programming.dev•The IDEs we had 30 years ago... and we lost
3·2 年前Emacs had some “premade IDE” project I recall that I tried and wasn’t that enthusiastic about.
Doom Emacs, spacemacs, etc.
And there are plenty of nvim “distros” like that (lazyvim for example).
They make getting started pretty easy. I’ve been using Doom for years and never bothered to make a full config of my own.

Sure, and parrots are amazing at spotting fallacies like cherry picking…

Hell no, Emacs and nvim UX is far superior. I won’t ever go back to clicking.


Lazygit and magit
