Why Static Languages Suffer From Complexity (and type-safe printf implementation without macros)
(hirrolot.github.io)
Hello!
This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.
The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:
This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.
Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.
This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.
This is the right place for posts like the following:
See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples
Would have been a lot better if printf() wasn't used as an example. That's like justifying DI or AOP with mocking frameworks or logging or justifying closures with shitty hacks you do to make the JS experience 10% less painful. Or macros justified with DSLs. Reflection justified with serialization.
