They’re literally giving us more reasons to use an ad blocker.

A lot of languages have this feature. Including ML, which is where Rust took many concepts from.

Do we have an equivalent of r/ComedyCemetery here on Lemmy?

It tries to auto-determine when to trigger, but you can explicitly trigger it by putting a question mark after your query.

BallsFactory ballsFactory = new BallsFactory();
ballsFactory.setSuckable(true);
Balls balls = ballsFactory.create();

Do you have a link to the research? I’m a math educator and I’d like some good materials for encouraging my students.

I have no rebottomal for this comment.

Betteridge’s law of headlines…

It means you’re compensating for the lack of oPtional/named parameters in your language.

I’ve recently been trying to learn OCaml and find it really nice. The major pain points are

• C-style separate compilation with manually created headers
• Small standard library
• No generic print function
• Hard to use external libraries

What does Rust improve over its predecessors? The only really new thing is the borrow checker, which is only useful in very low-level programming.

You’re so close to reinventing Smalltalk…

C is the first language I learned and I think it’s a terrible language full of inconsistencies, footguns and unnecessary complexity.

Try writing 20 algebraic manipulations of the equation on paper and you’ll quickly understand why it’s written that way.

Why not just add function overloading to the language and have a function named copy that takes a string and an optional character count?

To be honest, my comment probably applies more to gets, but the point is the same.

Good for you. Not all of us have terabytes of free space on our computers.

Only a part. A lot of the complexity is completely unnecessary.

Or Nim?
