OA Tree-Sitter language.

A small langauge that can be used to generate tree-sitter grammar without JS.

I find it commendable that you wrote code so horrible other libraries started throwing more errors wondering what the hell you were doing.

This isn’t the new generation of devs. This is just new devs. Some people refuse to grow out of this stage.

Well, I won’t lie. It’s difficult.

Ideally you’d know this person and interact with them somewhat regularly. If it’s online or this person believes they can ignore you without consequence then it won’t matter how you address them beyond that initial interaction.

Don’t use that as an excuse to feed into their believes though. There’s a chance someone they know is already trying to coax them back to reality. If anything in that interaction makes them feel justified, it’ll take 20x the effort to undo the mental hoops they’ll jump through to rationalize the rest of their feelings.

It sucks. It’s not fair to those impacted, but this is the only way to stop this radicalization and hardheadedness that plagues people nowadays.

Dude, that doesn’t help either

I have to do it all the time. I was born and raised in the south by (relatively) liberal parents. I recognize that some of my neighbors my not be up to the standards of the rest of the country, but (I can’t believe I have to say this out loud) we shouldn’t ostracize a geographic region of people because of social issues.

Social reform isn’t achieved by running up to someone and saying “You’re an uninformed idiot from a flyover state and what you believe is incorrect.” It’s achieved by saying, “I know you don’t really mean that” when someone says some weird shit and calling them out in a more neutral environment. Unfortunately you have to convince people to be better. It’s too easy to just close yourself off and decline into your own beliefs.

Man, saying things like this just further the divide without providing meaningful contributions to any of the current conversations.

What am I missing here?

That shoddy code rots when you update the compiler. (And occasionally good code, depending on what rules the compiler wants to start enforcing)

These types of changes are inevitable.

People out here complaining about Gentoo. My brother in Christ, you built the operating system.

To be fair, C predates dependency hell. It was either there or it wasn’t. C++ has less of an excuse, but it was just object oriented concepts taped to C so it’s no surprise it was also missing dependency management.

Now with cmake, gnu-make, meson, gradel, and the world of metabuild systems that wrap those, nothing will change. It it does, it might as well kick start world war 3.

That’s my first thought, but my brain keeps trying to inject one immediately following “Surely.” No idea why.

I feel like there needs to be a comma somewhere in that sentence but I don’t know why…

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to apply to publishers or developers that don’t have a landing page

Well, assuming you meant type specifier, at least not before C99. After that it is required. C23 explicitly states that a type specifier is required for all declarations.

If you actually meant type qualifier, then no. That was never required.

But also, sorting big endian automatically groups elements associated with common functions making search, completions, and snippets easier (if you use them). I’m torn

Googles requirements for ARM cores on Android was pretty high. Don’t think I’ve seen a RISC-V core get close yet…

Well they did a fine enough job pissing off artist and artist aligned consumers. Now it’s just all the goofs from crypto happily peddling it like there’s no tomorrow.
