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.
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.
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.

I use Python pretty heavily and global state there is pretty rock solid thanks to the GIL, I also work primarily on single system local programs where I don't have to worry about syncing anything over the network.
