I really like Python. The only thing I don’t want to do with Python is support a large code base. Lack of strict typing makes refactoring awful

Java isn’t slow
That’s fair - Krita is a more approachable piece of software in many ways
Yeah the wheels of change turn slowly for the GIMP =) I’m still a fan, thou
I use Krita a lot and I like it. I also use Gimp. Many people do. That fact that you don’t like it is not an argument against it
And yet thousands of people have used it constructively for years. They must ask be, like, super humans I guess
That wasn’t criticism, that was a rant
You don’t use much software, huh?
I also learned C on the Amiga. I loved SAS C. I also came across C++ first on the Amiga when it was just a pre processor for C. I really loved that machine but it was the community that was special
Yeah. Can I get a book - usually something official like K&R for C.
Try being a programmer in the 90s. Just like that but with no entries at all
Yes, I was using Rustrover the last time I used Rust. VSCode previously. I’ve tried to get into Rust a few times and really just failed repeatedly. Ill probably try again at some point but my experience thus far hasn’t been great
I actually reasonably like Go. It’s simple and pragmatic but I fucking loathe its error handling. To me it just replicates one of the worst features of C
I think I’d rather code in Go than Rust. But I’m not a great Rust programmer so my opinion may not count. I can code effectively in C, C++, Go, Java, C#, Python, and a few others, but Rust is the only language that I find hard to use. I’m probably just dumb
If I’m going to inherit a large code base to maintain, I’d like Java, C# the most, Python, the least. Go isnt too bad IMO. I’ve not worked with enough Rust code to really judge it. BTW I like Python but lack of types makes refactoring and discoverability harder
You could say that but you’d be wrong.
Magical thinking?
It’s not. It’s reflecting it’s training material. LLMs and other generative AI approaches lack a model of the world which is obvious on the mistakes they make.
My problem with Rust is that I find refactoring really painful.
