As much as this hurts,
yeet;as an aliasthrow;is hilariousFunnily enough, that is a keyword in rust.
(it’s a placeholder to remove any bikeshedding)
Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.
You can yoink that word from my cold, dead hands!
I really really dig the fuckaround/findout. It paints the try/catch with a more dreadful undertone and reeks of mystery.
Yeah, I love that one.
“Try” is too hopeful. “fuck_around” makes it clear that you know what you’re doing is dangerous but you’re going to do it anyhow. I know that in some languages wrapping a lot of code in exception blocks is the norm, but I don’t like that. I think it should be something you only use rarely, and when you do it’s because you know you’re doing something that’s not safe in some way.
“Catch” has never satisfied me. I mean, I know what it does, but it doesn’t seem to relate to “try”. Really, if “try” doesn’t succeed, the corresponding block should be “fail”. But, then you’d have the confusion of a block named “fail”, which isn’t ideal. But “find_out” pairs perfectly with “fuck_around” and makes it clear that if you got there it’s because something went wrong.
I also like “yeet”. Partly it’s fun for comedic value. But, it’s also good because “throw” feels like a casual game of catch in the park. “Yeet” feels more like it’s out of control, if you hit a “throw” your code isn’t carefully handing off its state, it’s hitting the eject button and hoping for the best. You hope there’s an exception handler higher up the stack that will do the right thing, but it also might just bubble all the way up to the top and spit out a nasty exception for the user.
The whole thing was pretty damn good all the way through. The only thing that had me wondering was
TeaUntil it got to
SpillTeaWell played.
the suspense!
Indeed. I was unfair of me to pick only one favourite, as there are more candidates :)
just what you want from code !
Exactly!
Everyones first language should be brainfuck CMV.
Ugh. Just
its_giving rizz ratios vibe;No more needless nesting plz
Considering
vibeis probalbyfloat, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.Even if it’s not
float, I’d consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.Honestly, that’s about an inch away from Python…
Its literally bash
I’m speaking from a descriptive naming concept.
It’s so painfully good.
Good thing I’m sticking with GDScript.
Big “you damn kids and your phones” vibes from this
Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:
When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.
Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.
Then you die.
And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.
HAI 1.2 CAN HAS STDIO? IM IN YR LOOP UPPIN YR VAR TIL BOTH SAEM VAR AN 10 VISIBLE SUM OF VAR AN 1 IM OUTTA YR LOOP KTHXBYEA perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.
Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.
Kids today just don’t know real code
Hell, kids today don’t even number their lines anymore. What’s wrong with the world?
My 21 year old is pretty into rust and html. Does that count?
I’m pretty ignorant on most of it. In my youth, I just dabbled trying to lean basic on a c64 and AMOS on the Amiga though, so maybe not lol
e: I think I missed the joke, probably because I’m old lol
Aliasing no_cap and cap to true and false…
I might have to steal that…
That’s way better than my emoji based programming language.
Ah, yes. A private method for working on a public field.
Ah but maybe the vibe is a
lowkey periodwe can’t be sure
i hate it so fucking much
This was by far the best way to explain current slang.
I got all of it No TeaToo many capital letters in the gen z version.
That’s what we Do.
play_stupid_games { // ... } win_stupid_prizes(thePrize) { // ... }FAFO block passes better
