I think it works great. At least I'm don't have to deal with Python

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never had any issues with npm. Moved to bun nowadays and still going strong. If I want to install something, I install it, and then it works.

Setting up anything with pip however...

[–] Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

The only thing that sucks about npm are when package dependencies are not updated and dependency hell becomes very real, but that's not really the fault of the package manager.

Yeah, fuck virtual environments and different Python versions.

Labelling the crab as C is sure to ruffle some exoskeletons..

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As at least one nautically themed childrens' book surely has it: C is for crab.

Coming at programming sideways feels more like a Haskell or Prolog thing, though.

Apple is for ADA

Ball is for BASH

Crab is for C

Dog is for D

Elephant is for Ecsmascript

Fox is for F#

Goat is for Go

House is for Haskell

Igloo is for

...okay I got stuck there.

Java has Duke

Duke, Java's mascot. A triangular shaped character with a red nose.

Ugh, I accidentally got a fake transparent background. Oh well.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Branding fail so bad that everyone forgets that Java even has a mascot.

I thought it was a cup of coffee? A hipster barista in 90’s Memphis style illustration would be most accurate I think.

Damn, I went searching online for some examples and got nothing that was really from back then. Just shitloads of AI vaporware slop. Time to dig out my old design mags I guess.

There are dozens of us! Millions of devices and dozens of us know about Duke!

Fun fact, Duke is released to the public. I forget in what way exactly, but Oracle freed them (him? it?).

I mean, at the end of the day, if you really understand your language of choice, you know that it is jusf a bunch of fancy libraries and compiler tricks of top of C. So in my mind, I'm a fully evolved programmer in a language, when I could write anything I can write in that language in C instead.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 19 points 4 days ago (7 children)

only true if your language compiles to c. fortran peeps are safe.

Or, rather, most compiled languages are just syntactic sugar on top of assembly, and that's especially true with C. (Oh, you can use curly brances and stuff for blocks? That's sure easier to read than the label mess you get with assembly.)

It's not what you can use that language to do - all general purpose languages are Turing Complete, so what you can do with them is exactly equal. It is about what the language will do for you. Rust compiler will stop you from writing memory unsafe code, C compiler cannot do that.

Rust is still in the locker room having an argument with their coach (borrow checker).

C++ is home sick, currently the doctor (compiler) is not sure whether it's got the flu or a terminal cancer.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

terminal cancer

"I'm sorry, you've been diagnosed with :(){:|:&};:"

"You have a couple seconds to live."

Rust: Downloading 7390327 crates...

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 23 points 4 days ago

I feel like Rust would be some complaint from the compiler saying that some apparently unrelated struct can't be Send/Sync for some inscrutable reason. Or something about pinning a future.

The puffer fish is Bash

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

Yep, it's the one starting everything.

And doing nothing else. And still something manages to no be right.

Why is the crab not Rust. This is outrageous, it’s unfair

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.org 36 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

Rust would be some borrow checker compile error like

borrowed data escapes outside of associated function

argument requires that `'1` must outlive `'static`

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

rust errors are funny if you don't know rust

News at Ten: Borrowed Data Escapes Outside of Associated Function

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Those also happen to be errors you'd typically run into, if you don't yet really know Rust...

Not a word of a lie, I saw a "segmentation fault" error in JavaScript.

Can't remember how we resolved it, but it did blow my mind.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Technically any language runtime can end in a segmentation fault.

For some languages, in principle this shouldn't be possible, but the runtimes can have bugs and/or you are calling libraries that do some native code at some point.

[–] gagootron@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

Even safe rust can do it, if we allow compiler bugs

[–] apelsin12@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

Ive also seen this, but not from js but node

[–] VitabytesDev 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have seen a Java program I wrote terminate with SIGSEGV. I think a library was causing it.

Python is being even smarter by trying to underflow the distance to the finish line.

I find it funny that the pufferfish blows up at its own gunshot

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 24 points 4 days ago

"npm install" in particular is getting me.

Why is openbsd the referee?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This implies that Javascript will get moving in the correct direction once it finishes installing dependencies, but it's just going to get fucked with incorrect behavior that doesn't even have the courtesy to throw an actual error.
