My attempt of an honest answer to my best knowledge:

As @TootSweet@lemmy.world mentioned, to make a programming language closer to spoken English language, most likely (hi, Python, I am looking at you too). Which infuriates me immensely: when programming, I do not speak languages, I express data structures and operations on them, stacked one upon another. The last thing I need here is ambiguity, loose structure and information duplication (forgot correct term for the last one) that are typical to natural languages of human communication

Can confirm. I am on this image

Nope, that’s not a definition of opinion. And this opinion is leagues away from your original post. If you can’t see this - be my guest, go on making up dreams of " I stuck a chord" and whatever else you are imagining

“It sucks because I can’t see why it is even useful” is not an opinion, it is ignorance, and you have already shown it to be a willful one. No wonder you get shat on repeatedly

If you can’t think of a reason, then you could have just asked. Or read a few threads here or somewhere else. But instead you went forward typing your oh so very informed opinion, which itself is a good invitation for “shut up, lousy know-nothing type of human” kind of response. I do hope you’ll do better next time you see a piece of lore and culture you have no clue about

Of course. We just can’t quit

Meanwhile IntelliJ: let’s copycat VSCodium UI

I can’t comprehend why you are getting downvoted, please take my upvote

Speaking broadly, humans are very much capable of living without purpose, but that needs a stable ground and very balanced system - something that mostly does not taken care of, but that cannot mean to belittle what you are doing - the way you live, it is better than what so many people are doing with their lives (and in many ways much wiser), and I am glad you found the strength and willingness to live as you do. Thank you for living like this

It really is not. But I don’t mind watching you try :)

Aand what is your point?

Doesn’t make sense. I know I am not a game or movie, but realising “I am not this body and not this mind” is something that doesn’t happen to most people

Nah, that’s a road to hell. I will always know this “meaning” is my creation. So either I won’t take it seriously or force myself to become dumb enough to believe my own fairy tales

Hear me out:

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11)

Or

“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)

Lol. In a dynamically typed language? I will do this always, that’s why I am using it

So, you will not?

Yeah. I like that

Good start, anyone who wishes can use a level-up of this:

You. Will. Die

So might as well enjo the ride while it lasts

Compared to known universe, you are less than a spec, you mean nothing. Everything means nothing. So might as well enjoy what you like

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Python will happily let you overwrite its own internals while running, for instance

Damn, that’s cool and I did not even know. Pretty sure I would not do this in production code, but very glad very this possibility exists

Same here, save a car. I am also waiting for that magical moment when “you will understand when you grow up”. Welp, how much more growing do I have to do to reach that magical understanding that some grown-ups are toxic morons untold mysteries of the universe

Someone should get their hands on someone like me and someone like you and study their brains. I spend most time with PHP and C++, and Python looks like an attempt to write code like prose literature. Very interesting how much of this is habbit, as it can’t be just that: reading prose and poetry in English/Russian/Japanese never produced this kind of resentment
