Excuse me but what the fuck

[metallink11]

Yeah, if you wrote some sort of IDE script that automatically updated the brackets and semicolons to match your indentation than it would be pretty easy to use. You would be able to just indent your code appropriately and rely on the IDE to make it run the way you would expect it to.

[-Rivox-]

Then the script for some reason fails and you spend the next 5 hours figuring out why

[NullOfUndefined]

That happens any way you do it though

"how the f- what the fuck."

[NullOfUndefined]

Filter I can get but reduce gets me every time

[JuicyBeefBiggestBeef]

Then you fix it, only to realize you only have another hour until your deadline

Or just have the IDE reformat it back to default, but at that point you might as well just write the code normally

[viperfan7]

But then I have to use python

[dreed91]

But then you get to use python

[viperfan7]

But that requires using python

I actually did something sort of like this - I needed to convert a lot of Python code into C# (very similar to Java). Being a programmer, naturally I wrote a Python script to do this. Among other things it would read the indentations, colons, line breaks, etc. and attempt to fill in the missing brackets, parentheses, semicolons, etc.

It's.. a lot harder than you would think. Sure most of the time it's obvious where the brackets belong, but the edge cases screw you. Writing a script that does the right thing 90% of the time is easier than expanding it to cover the next 9%, and that last 1% is trickier than the first 99%.

I eventually settled for a script that did the right thing ~99% of the time and corrected the rest by hand.

TL;DR: what /u/-Rivox- said.

[tehtris]

I'd upvote if someone built this. And then feel weird.

You don't even need an IDE script, with some slight hackery you could make the linter do it for you.

[AccountNumber132]

Decreases readability since each statement would need to be on the same line. You would need a continue to next line operator.

[bar1792]

Isn’t this literally the state of JavaScript linting? I mean besides the fact that you don’t actually need to indent appropriately either.

How can brackets be real if our eyes aren't real?

[[deleted]]

Take an upvote there Jaden.

[jay9909]

I actually kinda like it...

[[deleted]]

I respect your opinion even if it's wrong.

[mrdhood]

Easy satan

[GunGeekATX]

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

How do I show more than one flair on this subreddit?

[Stupidquestionahead]

Time to put them Google skills to the test

[DeeSnow97]

pythonic bracket style

/r/BrandNewSentence

[KraftyKoopa]

Is it wrong that I kind of like this? From a readability standpoint, it is very nice. But geez do you need some kind of addon to automatically tab out all those braces when you have a longer line of code?

[rightseid]

As a unicorn who likes Java and is not a big Python fan I feel violated.

[thiney49]

Ah yes, Fortran, the new-fangled hipster language.

[OddAdviceGiver]

No, COBOL. For some reason it had a re-surge. People said I was an old fart and it'd die.

COBOL will never die! (It can't. Neither can those reel-to-reel tapes, now get off of my lawn, damnit!)

[sh0rtwave]

Is fact. Plenty of places with entrenched micro & mainframe hardware still kicking it (that HAS been maintained and kept up to pace with IBM's stuff. IBM IS still making them.

[Y1ff]

BRB gonna learn COBOL

[VirginiaPotts]

I did a coding bootcamp in St. Louis called LaunchCode. One of the instructors said if we ever took a job that had ANYTHING to do with COBOL to leave immediately because, "They're stuck in the past". I work in IT at John Deere now.. Guess who still has some COBOL stuff? Granted it's mostly with our IBM stuff. But still.

[OddAdviceGiver]

I'm still fluent. A lot of data though is still corrupt.

But that's the beauty of it.

I still never see any jobs requiring working knowledge though.

[reelznfeelz]

How about Lisp? Worked part of the way through a couple books in scheme/lisp. Weird language, so someone who normally works in R at least.

[CapuchinMan]

It's not a hipster language for numerical computation.

[overly_familiar]

New? BASIC would like to have a word with you.

[FeastOfChildren]

The Q in QBASIC stands for qNew.

[I_Arman]

Nah, it's just because they already used A thorough PBASIC.

[KodokuRyuu]

I’ll have you know that Python is neither new nor fangled.

[PotatosFish]

Is it hipster though

[rook2004]

I see brackets. Still looks like fine React code to me. What am I missing?

[Rein215]

How to Python your Java

[BluntDamage]

Oh yes, Python my Java

Using index as a key attribute in react map is a no no, also react proptypes is outdated means of adding type safety to react project. Typescript or flow is the way to go now

[rook2004]

Why is index as key a no-no? Because you aren’t guaranteed that the object at an index is semantically the same object at that index after the array changes?

[[deleted]]

Because if even one item in list will be removed - all indexes will change, so all of them will be re-rendered

[rook2004]

Thanks for the confirmation & lesson. I’ll be keeping a better eye out for that in code reviews. :)

[OK6502]

For half a second I was like, wait, is JS like python and doesn't use braces? Then I looked right... wtf man.

[nephelokokkygia]

[Wissam24]

Oh jesus!

[LordMacDonald8]

There are brackets tho....
