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

Oh good, then Lua's in the clear.

blind3rdeye@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

But in Lua, goto is just a table with a bit of syntactic sugar.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

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

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!

For any people from the future who may be here, this is the only mention of the framework, from what I can see, so far.

Does gdscript count? It mostly just feels like python tho

stickyShift@midwest.social · 2 pts · 1y

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

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I had a colleague 20 years ago choose RoR for a multi-million dollar hospital software project despite the fact that he was the only programmer within 150 miles with even a rudimentary knowledge of it. I say "multi-million dollar" because that's what it ended up costing to develop it; the only revenue it ever generated was an initial $60K from the client, and even that ended up being refunded after three years and a system that still didn't work.

I wasn't on the project myself, but I did get to sit in on a client meeting where this guy said "but we've written six times as much test code as application code" and expected that to somehow mollify the client.

ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

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).

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.
