  1. Post about programming, interesting repos, learning to program, etc. Let's try to keep free software posts in the c/libre comm unless the post is about the programming/is to the repo.

  2. Do not doxx yourself by posting a repo that is yours and in any way leads to your personally identifying information. Use reports if necessary to alert mods to a potential doxxing.

  3. Be kind, keep struggle sessions focused on the topic of programming.

Global variables, yes or no? (hexbear.net)

If they didn’t exist in a language would you be upset? Any obvious things that can’t be done without global variables? I don’t think there is, but I could have missed something. I know that Haskell doesn’t have them and I think some newer ones like V also don’t have them.

They should exist. Some people code to be nerds and obsess over how clean and nice it looks, some people code to create things that won't be expanded on much and the readability and what not doesn't matter
