You know somebody is really lost when they decide the empty set is a subset specifically of unsigned integers and nothing else.

What is the Main; at the end? Is this like a scripting language where having something like main() is just an idiom? Also is printf() like built-in or something?

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, it is the scripting language of TempleOS.

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I knew it was from TempleOS, didn't realize it was actually a scripting language though.

Honestly kinda weird to see something I made and posed 2 days ago reposted on this community with my my exact title and alt text but no acknowledgement.

Okay, U8, sure, but a boolean is U0? Surely U1 if you absolutely must...

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago

well I'd assume U0 is the void type. since it contains no data

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's equivalent to void, not a boolean.

[–] themoken@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, that makes more sense, but then "unsigned" void?

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 13 points 1 week ago

Tbf, unsigned void makes more sense than signed void

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow zig has u0 and i0

[–] sga@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

what does i0 even mean, like what is the sign even for

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
