She's sad because she's realizing he's just a script kiddy and not a real programmer.
I can change! Let me be your indents!
I need some space
4 spaces, or 8?
Oh, so now we're keeping score!?
My memory is foggy - I thought she was the one who broke up with him.
Don't cry, babe -- at least I didn't say Visual Basic.
I understand the hatred of VB generally but as a non-programmer (just technically literate and knows enough to be dangerous with a computer) writing VB (in the form of VBA) was extremely accessible and surprisingly intuitive - far more than I ever experienced when dabbling in python, JavaScript and Rust.
(What I made was unhinged, unholy and should never see the light of day. It made a normally talkative .net programmer go silent in shock yet it is responsible for managing the project resourcing in a big department in the company... But it was quite fun and it does work...)
My joke comment was based on love! I actually started my professional career with VB (3 no less) and it was an excellent language for what it was good for, mainly building good UIs. Sure, it could be -- and was -- used to create unearthly horrors, but that's true of every language and platform.
I do not ask your pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of ~~Mordor~~ Microsoft may yet be heard in every corner of the West!
Our company has seen long and bloody wars fought over the semicolon
I use Javascript a lot - we finally threw off our shackles!
Hear hear!
I'm on team, "Who gives a fuck?"
To some this is blasphemous
I code in Python.
Well, that's depressing.
I'm not a fan of python too, so I get her crying.
You can slam semicolons at the ends of lines in Python, interpreter doesnβt care
P sure you can do multiple lines in one line by slamming semicolons too, though idr for sure and I canβt be arsed to check
Until my boy black let's you know about his redecoration ideas.
I've done it a lot to add
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
These days though you can just breakpoint()
What about Godot script?
Give me some space!
In a different language that uses whitespace:
proc blank_map*:void =
mines_placed = 0
row8 = newseq[uint8](width); game_map = newseq[row8](height)
row16 = newseq[int16](width); sum_map = newseq[row16](height)
rowChar = newseq[char](width); state_map = newseq[rowChar](height)
for h in 0.uint8..<height:
game_map[h] = row8; sum_map[h] = row16
state_map[h] = rowChar
I'm allowed to do it, it's allowed
(I don't use it a lot and I'm sure many dislike this because longer lines especially if they have less display width for whatever reason)
O, O, OHH burn it.
In this house we code one line per line.
You can fit so many lines in this line
