Watches Computerphile, thinks it’s actual programming
What is this even supposed to imply
Yeah, I’m kinda confused by that one too—Computerphile is CS theory, not software engineering.
I think, the point is Haskell is more CS theoretical than practical language and anyone who uses it (or any other FP) has never written a single line of production code (the last statement is even in the meme)
Personally, I love that series. I guess whoever made this meme thinks people who watch the show are trying to implement their code examples in production.
book bad
I feel like the author is a MacBook user.
Imperative stoneagers getting an old MacBook from somewhere and going “huh, I guess its UNIX” is probably true though
history | grep -E '(sed|grep|awk|perl)' | wc -l107Dang. That’s out of 1000. I need to up my game. Also three of those
seds are part of something with a-basedirand don’t count.So yeah, about 10% of my commands are iterating shell pipe things for poops and giggles, I guess.
… and this got me going down the rabbit hole of writing a filter for my history to pull out the first command on the line. This is non-trivial because of potential preceding variable assignments. Most used commands are currently
aptandmanandls. I thinkaptis a Spiders Georg situation because the system is fairly fresh and I keep finding things that I haven’t installed yet. Also I went through a patch of trying to parse its output.… oh, er… unga bunga.
$ history | grep -E '(sed|grep|awk|perl)' | wc -l 50 $ history | wc -l 500Checks out perfectly.
I just use nushell’s builtins instead of wrangling with
IFSand bash idiosyncrasies. It’s been years since I’ve corrupted data by parsing text wrong.But even if someone doesn’t want that: apart from using it in legacy scripts,
grepis just a strictly less usefulripgrepthese days, no?
I don’t belong to any of the above. Am I even a programmer at this point?
I belong to all of them. Same question.
You’ve transcended programming
To being a coder?
Unga bunga
Found the esoteric programmer!
OOP boilerplater except for the Windows bit; trying to slowly move off proprietary software and choose open source when I can
Same honestly, it’s a hustle to convince the Java EE dinosaurs of new paradigms. Never going back to Micro$lop though.
Functional streams are a good start
Jetbrains though :(
also a JetBrains enjoyer :( one day I’ll teach myself to like VSCode as much as I like JetBrains
Uses neovim with gruvbox theme on arch
Damn, why are you calling me out personally? Though I use it to write python scripts and LaTeX, not rust…
Proud imperative stoneager here 🦍
Cavepeople together strong!
More like mix and match your path lmao.
Just finished an assignment for uni: Memory safety in Rust: Mechanisms and limits - a comparison to C/C++.
Fuck.
Great overview of Rust’s weaknesses and strengths:
Li et al. 2024 Rust for Linux: Understanding the Security Impact of Rust in the Linux Kernel
Rust introduces some pretty awesome concepts, but I see why it might be controversial to some. I (sadly) have no use case for it though.
I think the “controversy” is just tribalism. I’ve never once witnessed a case of any of the negative adjectives thrown at the Rust community. They’ve always taken exceedingly fair and good-faith approaches to discussing any critique of the language.
Their snark is reserved for the weird “anti-woke” crowd that hates Rust for some reason.
I’ve been shifting around, but never to the OOP boilerplater. I despise Java.
My people!
ocaml and haskell and erlang power like… a shitton of industry production code. If erlang software disappeared, internet dies for a bit until people replace all the broken routers.
Isn’t functional stuff closely related to type theory & type systems in all langs? In that sense, it’s prevented whole classes of bugs from ever getting to prod in the first place.
Responsible for 0% of code in production
Best code is no code at all
Depends very much on the language you’re using. Haskell and ocaml do fall into that category, whereas erlang and scheme are also functional languages with fairly weak typing.
If there is one thing that connects functional programming as a whole, it is that in FP, program flow is managed mostly through function application, instead of if statements and for/while loops.
That’s such a way to dismiss the theory and academia
Is there a panel for the pragmatist that just goes with what works, with open source strongly preferred?
No, because the whole point of this meme is to be entirely devoid of nuance. Functional programming is fucking awesome if product is changing its mind every 5 mins, Oop is great if you have a huge number of junior Devs, rust isn’t remotely slow so god knows what bottom right is about, top left probably has more functionality defects than you can shake a stick at but he’s lionised here. Don’t think too hard about it – OP didn’t (also ‘never bashes python or JavaScript’? Absolute weaksauce. Perl and PHP are the ones ppl bash because of entry level dev memes. Embarrassed for op)
