  • Start small. Like, really small. Don't listen to the elitism about programming languages. Make stuff, fuss about the details later. Godot's cool. Love2D's cool. Nobody gives a fuck if you used a scripting language or an enterprise grade engine or if you wrote it in assembly like some cybermonk. Balatro was nominated for goty and was written in a "simplistic" scripting language (Lua with Love2D).

  • JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress)

  • having to wait for javascript to load, decompress, parse, JIT, transmogrify, rejimble and perform two rinse cycles

    This is whole sentence is facetious nonsense. Just-in-time compilation is not in websites, it's in browsers, and it was a massive performance gain for the web. Sending files gzipped over the wire has been going on forever and the decompressing on receival is nothing compared to the gains on load time. I'm going to ignore the made up words. If you don't know you don't know. Please don't confidently make shit up.

    EDIT: I'm with about the nags though. Fuck them nags.

  • Oh I love it when the language has advanced type inference! I have fond memories of tinkering with Haxe.

  • I know far too little about compilers & interpreters to have anything to say about performance so I’ll leave that subject to wiser programmers.

    What I can say about the usage itself of dynamically vs statically typed languages is that I struggle with assessments that attempt to quantify the differences between the two paradigms. I’ve come to consider programming has a craft, and as such the qualitative properties of the tools, and especially the languages, matter significantly.

    I’ve been switching back and forth between dynamic and static languages lately. Although dynamic languages do feel more straight to the point, static languages are easier to navigate through. All that typing information can be harnessed by intellisense and empower the non-linear reading needed to understand a program. That’s valuable for the whole life cycle of the software, not just the time to reach initial release. It’s kind of a rigid vs fluid dichotomy.

  • I haven’t played Minecraft for a while, but I was under the impression that Microsoft was progressively turning the Bedrock version into a microtransaction hellscape. If I’d have to reluctantly commend Microsoft for anything, I’d rather go for Visual Studio Code.

  • Kind of half related, but Microsoft loves to fuck with dual booting as well in various ways. Just last year a security patch broke dual booting, required a complicated workaround to get out of, and was only properly fixed 9 months later. Historically some "fast boot" shenanigans have been known to actually be "fucking with linux dual boot". At this point if I need Windows for some adulting, it’s done in a virtual machine. Microsoft has simply lost their privilege to bare metal access on my PC.

    EDIT: Stories like this post are disheartening though, since they show that Microsoft can use their weight to make everyone else’s experience worst even if you completely avoid them.

  • Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re too stuck up for dynamic languages building something big.
