  • Note the “left” in quotation marks!

    There’s a kind of “left”, with anti-corporate policies just as vague as what some more populist right-wingers have, if not the exact same, that is just being used to call out “hypocritical, leftist virtue signaling by corporations”, which the right just uses to paint leftist social policies as unreasonable. That “left” also just seem to have a “reappropriated” version of whatever stuff the right appropriated for itself to make their isolationist foreign policies look less far-right as their “anti-imperialist” policy.

    And when it comes to class warfare, it’s just the same exact work moralist and anti-intellectualist mess the right has.

    That’s why I call these people leftists in name only. They’re not funded by George Soros, but by either Russia, or some “moderate, christian-conservative” party like Fidesz, if not both.
















  • It’s time to return to the roots, the times when you used goto instead of function calls! Fortran and COBOL all the way! /s

    Once you look beyond the “git gud” and “we must gatekeep programming from the normies” aspects of coding, you might want a language that is either way more productive than C (D), a language that offers memory safety and functional programming paradigms (Rust), or even a language that has relatively good portability even at the cost of performance (Javascript).

    If you’re only grumpy about Electron apps, then be mad at the corporations that:

    • forced colleges and universities to teach Javascript and nothing else to students, so now we have programmers afraid of type declarations,
    • jumped on the “Big Data” and “software as a service” train, so every app needed to be a “website”, because “it’s so convenient, pops no longer need to install wordprocessor dot exe, just type wordprocessor dot com into a browser”.

    This is highly inaccurate:

    D: Esperanto. Highly derivative of C (Latin), designed by people previously writing compilers. It’s not being taken seriously as such.

    Russian is nowadays being speaken by right-wing authoritarians instead, and any programmer that is auth-right is either coding in C/C++, or a Javascript/Python dev pretending to be a C/C++ dev to “gatekeep” nulangs (sic).
