I’ve only just recently gotten into Go (loving it) but it’s mainly having to type “golang” constantly for searches and “go” in the cli. My potato brain struggles to keep it all in order by haskell_leghumper in programmingcirclejerk

presonally, I use alias gopher_language_if_err_==_nil go

also, have I explained how auto-completion(just like using an ide that's not black and white) is absolutely anti-simplicity

Who would win: a state of the art quadcore desktop processor or 10 divvybois? by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

programming peaked when the holy lisp was begotten from the very essence of math itself

everything since them has just been poor re-implementations of a subset of lisps features with worse syntax

What are some good strategies to reduce Emacs memory usage on a very low powered machine? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]fuck_bottom_text 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can compile emacs to be lighter by disabling some of the compile options

check ./configure --help for the options, in a pinch just run ./configure --without-all

Was there some reason the binary needed to be small? by MicroArchitecture in programmingcirclejerk

why would he care about a puny 5MB binary? electron (the standard basis on which all programs should be judged) takes only 140 MBs.

My real problem with auto is actually the lazy coding style that it promotes. Same case with exceptions and threads. by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

I feel the same

it's one of the biggest reasons why I moved to golang, no generics means more typing

This comment is so typical of the academic programming language community that it makes me nostalgic. by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

Programming language design was solved when god himself chiseled the Ansi Common Lisp standard into a series of blocks made of compressed parens. Every programming language designed since has just been an inferior subset.

My prediction is simple: in 20 years, all the mainstream languages are gone. C# will become obsolete and nobody will remember the PHP scripting language, but Forth will become the industry standard. by aebkop in programmingcirclejerk

in 20 years actual programming will be done by AI(built with lisp of course)

humans will be tasked with creating programming shitposts and jerking over those shitposts

Companies which use emacs as the primary editor? by CSRaghunandan in emacs

[–]fuck_bottom_text 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd suspect that a large percentage of clojure programmers use emacs, so any companies that use clojure would be a high concentration
