plants can feel pain too

i also think plants look nice, but i still eat them

dont listen to the others. u are free to censor your own content; it is still completely readable. people just want to complain about something.

more practical than goto

where did you COMEFROM where did you GO…TO

doesnt that kind of defeat the point ?

sorry, are you the swear police ??

the phrase that people are repeating is not ‘screw ice’ or ‘screw the police’. ‘f***’ is much closer to the original. i just prefer not to type out the actual letters; is that so bad ?

because not everyone likes to swear. i know, shock horror!

in australia, we say f*** ice because its another word for crystal meth

exactly! do people expect windows to scan every local file too??!

my point is that languages have their places.

javascript is great for the frontend. not just because it’s the only choice, but it’s also a lot easier to write code for ui than say, C or rust.

however i do not see a reason why it needs to run on servers or desktop apps, bar a few cases. i know node is popular, but i think fullstack devs just like to have everything in the same language, even if it makes it harder to use and slower to run.

likewise C, rust, go, whatever, are great for backends, embedded etc, but they shouldnt be ran on in the browser, unless there is a specific reason like heavy computation with little dom interaction.

just because a barrier does not exist doesnt mean that we should write programs in a language not designed for the domain.

javascript cannot be compiled natively for the backend or desktop either…

also libraries like wasm bindgen allow a developer to write almost no javascript. and i wouldnt could a few lines of bootstrapping.

im dont advocate for wasm when its not necessary. nor do i advocate for backend js when its not necessary.

grapheneos on a secondhand pixel 5 which was about 280$AUD. though i probably should have gotten a newer model considering the 5 is nearing end of life for GOS

if its acceptable to force javascript onto the backend and everywhere else, then why not write the frontend in rust, or anything else than can compile to wasm ?

not zig

photoshop, illustrator, etc are genuinely good programs though. the ‘linux alternatives’ just arent usually as powerful or easy to use.

this is coming from a linux and foss fanatic, btw. i dont use adobe, but i probably would if i was in a creative industry

regardless, its a big red flag for a poorly designed api

like reverse vampires ?

is that the new model ?

how am i supposed to know how italians speak. i’ve never seen one
