  • Ooh, I like the meta joke - that none of his students can read or write.

  • Odin or Rust

    Jump

  • there are now quite a few developers actively working with Rust full-time and paid.

    Yeah. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But quite a few doesn't always cut it to break into the field.

    But my concern was entirely misplaced as they're picking for a hobby project anyway.

  • Odin or Rust

    Jump

  • Thanks for the counterpoint.

    I always worry about the kids breaking in running after the next hot thing, and then not landing a job, because I've talked to folks who did so.

    I was needlessly worried, as they're picking for a hobby project, anyway.

    And as someone else pointed out, Rust is on its way up. I just wouldn't recommend Rust to a newbie as their first language to land their first job, today.

  • Odin or Rust

    Jump

  • It's better than writing C, Java or Cyton.

    I believe you!

    Edit: But you all can probably still pry C from my cold dead hands someday, lol. C is a perfectly cromulent language, for my purposes.

  • Odin or Rust

    Jump

  • It's certainly growing fast. And yeah, tops the desired charts.

    Python did that for years, and is now at number 4 (after the big three JavaScript, SQL and HTML).

    I, too, see great things in the future for Rust.

    I also agree, Rust is likely top 20, but it feels (from hjobs search anecdotes from peers) like there's a massive drop off in real world use after the top 8 or 10.

    But again, my concern was entirely misplaced, as they're not picking their first break-into-coding language, anyway.

  • Odin or Rust

    Jump

  • I've never heard of Odin, and I don't know anyone being paid to write code in Rust.

    Source: I hire and mentor professional programmers.

    Edit: I assumed you were picking for breaking into the field, but I see from your other replies that this is for a hobby project. For my hobby projecs, I use whichever amuses me.

  • How to become a competent coder?

    Jump

  • Wisdom that was shared with me: the first step to becoming a great coder is becoming a shitty coder.

  • "challenge accepted" air quotes

    ...

    "Is it working?" Air quotes

    ...

    "My fingers hurt" smaller, kind of sad looking air quotes

  • The implication that I will tolerate nearly anything to stay off of the phone is both rude and... accurate.

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • Exactly! It's spooky!

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • "Mr. Data, sometimes I fucking envy you."

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • Oof. Somehow still too soon for my feelings. Lol.

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • Okay, now this is my favorite.

    I'm also imagining it as Data's only ever F-bomb, and that it's never explained.

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • These are all great, but this is my favorite because it reinforces that the Universal Translator works, they're just talking past each-other.

  • They need a dog to chase them down?

    Jump

  • I've found they like to get up there and then beg for attention. Then they get down on their own later when they're bored.

    I keep checking on them because t's not impossible that a cat could get stuck, but none of mine (well, feral cats that adopted my tree, anyway) ever have actually been stuck.

  • They need a dog to chase them down?

    Jump

  • Someone opening a can of tuna and then all coming down to beg for it would be a hilarious bonus panel.

  • How would you completely erase your current life and start over?

    Jump

  • Nice try, secret agent.

    I'm joking if course. My contingency plans are all in public git repositories. I'm just that good.

  • The Most Important Man in Starfleet

    Jump

  • Lol.

    It just needs Keiko off to the side criticizing him for not being home more.

  • You're re-making TNG and get one F-bomb. Where are you dropping it?

    Jump

  • Wait... Is that not the original line? Marina Sirtis has some serious acting skills, because logically I know the F-bomb can't be there, but I remember it perfectly from her inflection.
