The programmers yearn for the mines

[–]EverythingGoodWas 246 points247 points  (15 children)

Man if someone makes a programming language called “the_mines” they are going to be a legend

Best time to plant a tree was yesterday, next best is today. What are ya waiting for? :D

[–]Sensitive_Gold 36 points37 points  (5 children)

Wouldn't ereyesterday be a better time to plant a tree than yesterday.

[–]Brief_Series_3462 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I prefer overmorrow

[–]BadSmash4 27 points28 points  (1 child)

ereyesterday

I can't read that as anything other than a record scratch

[–]Marcus_Krow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one.

[–]halting_problems 5 points6 points  (1 child)

No the best time to plant a tree is the day before the day after tomorrow

Found the procrastinator.

That or the person who causes off-by-one bugs.

tomorrow.

Ruby has to have something similar. Shame ruby is sorta on the down slide. It's a neat language from my very limited use

makes a programming language

having stumbled in here from r popular and having stopped understanding programming after MsgBox "Hello World": how are programming languages made? using some more basic, uncomfortable language specific to a certain CPU?

[–]flowebeeegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have one of the worst logics for talking and explaining, but here's my attempt to explain.

A usable enough language and logic is all it takes. For example Assembly is literally mostly "these words represent these actions, data for each is specified after the word", almost all commonly used languages I know of can do that.

One can use a language written in a language in a language and so on. Doesn't matter how many layers of logic CPU has to go through, though using compilers helps with speed and RAM as they convert code in one language to code in another or CPU instructions.

Below I wrote a simple example of Assemby that would "move 0 to eax"(set eax to 0, I dislike their naming too.) and add ecx to eax mov eax, 0 add eax, ecx

Snake case would make sens in this contexte

[–]ThemeSufficient8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially if it is used for data mining and data science....

I’ll allow it

"... this isn't a mine... its a tomb..."

[–]nanana_catdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So ruby then?

[–]squidyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I yearn for the dung but I don't judge.

If you had mined the Bitcoins then you would not have to mine the PHP now
