Choose Nixos and get both!

Choose ~~Nixos~~ Guix and get both!
- This guy guix it
- Why yes I am a ~~geek~~guik, how could you tell?
- I'm working on it. Just waiting till Christmas.
- What is guix? I'm aware of nixos. Are they related?
I might give it another try. Third time's the charm. I'll wait for you guys to have a decent wiki tho.
- wiki.nixos.org is pretty good

Yes, but also I don't have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn't help with that either.

So add in other issues and it really ends up as

Content Description: a cartoon of a man opening a tiny door with 7 cute germ plushies stuck in the open door, they cannot fit through despite pushing

Here's a project for ya, make porn out of polygonal art
- I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I'll think I'll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn't seem like a good starting point.

TempleOS and HolyC are all a computer needs

Languages without a GOTO statement are so passé

On the hardware, it's all GOTOs
- GOTO DEEZ NUTZ!
I like some of the latest cutting edge stuff like Lisp and Scheme
COMEFROM is much better
Oh good, then Lua's in the clear.
- But in Lua, goto is just a table with a bit of syntactic sugar.
GOTO is overrated. On Error Resume Next is where it's at.
Haskell, where you can't even goto because it doesn't really work that way

The duality of linuxmemes and linuxsucks strikes again. 🙃

Holy hell that /c is a dumpster fire
don't forget the ! it becomes a mail link without it
- Hmm, it didn't turn into a mail link for me on the Lemmy webpage, so I left it, but yeah, I guess some clients might make it a mail link...

Choose nixos

2 birds 1 stone

While you're here, have you heard of lapis, the lua web dev framework? I like it and that means that you have to too!

Does gdscript count? It mostly just feels like python tho

GDScript is actually pretty good - it's similar to what TypeScript did for JavaScript, but for Python. However, IMO it's still worth using C# for larger projects

Is C obscure? Everyone acts like its old and obsolete, yet its still the compilation target for most new languages, it seems

Only because the original C missionaries are dead now.
- Then I'll pick up where they left off

Hey, I know this really obscure programming language that's totally cool. It's called Python. You should try it sometimes.

No, thanks—I prefer doing things in R.
- Amateurs. Try Ruby.

ACCEPT COBOL

I don't speak no computer only ungabunga.

I don't speak no computer

So you speak computer?

"Why am I always carrying around a hole punch? How much time have you got?"

I'm a D developer. It's mostly like C and C++, but with a kind of optional garbage collector (which I might get rid of in the future through a custom runtime), and decades of hindsight in language development. No precompiler, no mandatory header files, a very nice to use template system, and a very powerful metaprogramming system. The catch? It's obscure enough for it to not have a lot of support libraries, so you have to spend the time saved from pulling your hair out from 1970's language design on developing your own solutions (then pull your hair out from undocumented OS features).

and learn VIM while you are at it

Yaaa, I’m ready to start a fight, started as a deb linux sys admin. Turned 🏴‍☠️soft engineer, RRR, RubyonRails w/ React and a desire to learn Rust 🦀

Brother, have you heard about our lord and saviour elixir

I personally think The language I created from scratch is the best, it uses the exact syntax as the English language, how does it work with ambiguity you ask? It's simple really you do it the same way as in a legally binding contract, you define every single definition until it makes perfect sense.

Rust is too mainstream, I prefer running my Idris programs on NixOS

Yeah, I developed a few weeks ago a devouring passion for groff. Does that count?

Perl. Chad's only script in Perl.

OO Perl 5.

Im not fluent in Perl i can only write it not read it. But only when it comes to Sendmail milters.
- Given every perl application I've ever had a browse of the source code of:
  
  Perl is a WORN language. Write once, read never
