I’m talking about quantity not the popularity of a given language. There are certainly a number of popular languages that follow that convention

oh for sure, but I think that’s the rarer case for language implementions. Having a consistent structure with alternative keywords in static positions is just easier to develop an AST for. Personally my favorite language doesn’t even allow for const values (except by convention) so it’s really just a matter of preference

Because sometimes that let can be replaced by other things like const. Which can be managed statically by the machine and not by my (imperfect) ability to know if it’s mutated or not

I believe the word we’re looking for is scalper

Look if Canada wants to save us from ourselves no one will stop them

I’m all for communication forms evolving over time but this is basically just a fully reductionist version of a meme. You could literally have any two people in the picture and keep your usage

Someone get OP to the burn ward STAT

My cat would claw my eyes out before letting me strangle her with a tiny scarf

Shocked more people don’t do this with everything

Smdh. Need to get an accomodating keyboard you abelist

Depends on if you’re a linguist or an English teacher. Linguists only care about effective communication. Whereas language teachers tend to focus on an arbitrary standard based on tradition and accepted academic norms

Unfortunately most people don’t have a linguistics course. Hence why the internet is full of people who think they’re “correct” but have terrible communication skills

My grandfather’s lessons were always about how he fucked up so we shouldn’t do what he did… It kinda worked actually. He died working two deadend jobs and no retirement plan and it’a always kept me motivated to figure out my future

I’m in that weird position where I definitely get baby fever being around my nieces and nephews. But also I know I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what I did. Idk, maybe if I could guarantee they wouldn’t have adhd it would be an easier choice

At least it wasn’t your arm… this time

Guilty as charged sir

makeup is literally magic

Art is always a risk. Under our current system it’s more profitable to minimize that risk. Thus you get the boring and predictable

Shit, is that why I have autism??

My cat and I play tag. She’ll run up to me and just as she grazes me, turns around and bolts the other way. Then she hides behind a curtain or her tunnel until I chase her down and play with her
