1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I might give it another try. Third time's the charm. I'll wait for you guys to have a decent wiki tho.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    wiki.nixos.org is pretty good

    [–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Yes, but also I don't have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn't help with that either.

    So add in other issues and it really ends up as

    Here's a project for ya, make porn out of polygonal art

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

    I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I'll think I'll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn't seem like a good starting point.

    TempleOS and HolyC are all a computer needs

    Languages without a GOTO statement are so passé

    [–] SpaceNoodle 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    On the hardware, it's all GOTOs

    I like some of the latest cutting edge stuff like Lisp and Scheme

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

    COMEFROM is much better

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Oh good, then Lua's in the clear.

    GOTO is overrated. On Error Resume Next is where it's at.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    Haskell, where you can't even goto because it doesn't really work that way

    While you're here, have you heard of lapis, the lua web dev framework? I like it and that means that you have to too!

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Does gdscript count? It mostly just feels like python tho

    Is C obscure? Everyone acts like its old and obsolete, yet its still the compilation target for most new languages, it seems

    [–] InternetCitizen2 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Only because the original C missionaries are dead now.

    [–] HStone32 3 points 1 month ago

    Then I'll pick up where they left off

    [–] Diplomjodler3 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Hey, I know this really obscure programming language that's totally cool. It's called Python. You should try it sometimes.

    [–] oyfrog 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    No, thanks—I prefer doing things in R.

    ACCEPT COBOL

    [–] ZILtoid1991 5 points 1 month ago

    I'm a D developer. It's mostly like C and C++, but with a kind of optional garbage collector (which I might get rid of in the future through a custom runtime), and decades of hindsight in language development. No precompiler, no mandatory header files, a very nice to use template system, and a very powerful metaprogramming system. The catch? It's obscure enough for it to not have a lot of support libraries, so you have to spend the time saved from pulling your hair out from 1970's language design on developing your own solutions (then pull your hair out from undocumented OS features).

    Brother, have you heard about our lord and saviour elixir

    [–] BendingHawk 4 points 1 month ago

    Yaaa, I’m ready to start a fight, started as a deb linux sys admin. Turned 🏴‍☠️soft engineer, RRR, RubyonRails w/ React and a desire to learn Rust 🦀

    Perl. Chad's only script in Perl.

    OO Perl 5.

    [–] lordnikon 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Im not fluent in Perl i can only write it not read it. But only when it comes to Sendmail milters.

    [–] 9point6 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Given every perl application I've ever had a browse of the source code of:

    Perl is a WORN language. Write once, read never

    [–] lordnikon 3 points 1 month ago

    I mean why do i need to read the language isn't that what the computer suppose to do?

    [–] zloubida 3 points 1 month ago

    Yeah, I developed a few weeks ago a devouring passion for groff. Does that count?

    [–] stupidcasey 3 points 1 month ago

    I personally think The language I created from scratch is the best, it uses the exact syntax as the English language, how does it work with ambiguity you ask? It's simple really you do it the same way as in a legally binding contract, you define every single definition until it makes perfect sense.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    Sure, I'm happy to introduce you to our Lord and Savior BQN

    [–] tdawg 3 points 1 month ago

    Don't make fun of me and my parentheses!

    [–] iopq 3 points 1 month ago

    Rust is too mainstream, I prefer running my Idris programs on NixOS
