I've been a professional programmer for nearly a decade and I just realized that C# is C++++ with the pluses stacked

[-] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 75 points 11 months ago

I know right‽ feels like when I learnt about the FedEx arrow for the first time

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago

I'm glad I wasn't the only uncultured swine unaware of the ++++ = #

[-] fermuch@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Me too - maybe because I was distracted by the irony that C# devs are typically the opposite of sharp... Or because it's MicroShit and I didn't give a flippin fuck ;)

Issue is, Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C. The memory safety features are just one part, and since Rust is also a "weakly" functional language, thus its prefered to write such code with it.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 7 points 11 months ago

Anything that is drop-in replacement for C (or C++ for that matter) is going to be awful because of the same compatibility burden, imo

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

D is a mostly drop-in replacement (type renaming and such needed though), and it doesn't have that issue. D even has a mode called BetterC, where the D standard library and the garbage collector is left out.

Yeah, it's not a small change. If there was a simpler way to make C memory-safe, it would have been done decades ago. It's just a different language too, which is fair given how much younger it is.

I once saw an issue someone made for some database and said that they were learning Rust and if the database was rewritten in Rust then they could help contribute!

C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:

  • "Years of [compilation error] messages"
  • "People disn't build this Tesseract"; "Not yet... But one day. Not you and me but people, people who've evolved beyond the four dimensions we know"
  • "You've got to leave something behind"

I'm waiting for the marvel cinematic universe movie about filling out TPS reports and preparing for Y2k... it's guaranteed to do better than Black Adam.

[-] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Wasn't that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?

Now that I think of it, I guess you're right, that show probably did do better than Black Adam.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That's a Hype~r~C~ube~.

There's also D. You could just upgrade to D.

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 9 points 11 months ago

It’s so good it got not only one, but two standard libraries.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

That's a transfinite induction

[-] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago

theres also c+

C₊𝅄⨧⁺ᐩ is used for building firmware for hyperdimensional singularity processors.

[-] kionite231@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

How did you insert those unicodes????

[-] pelya@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Go here and Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V

I especially like ⨹

This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

I'm starting to have my suspicions

I'm not ready for 4D, just let me try out C Lattice on a few smaller projects first.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

always wanted to C in the 4th dimension

"Just a heads up that we'll be shipping your machine to the client, since it's the only machine on Earth known to support the software. You're getting the spare machine out of the basement. Super fast Cyrix processor. Looks like it boots to Windows 11 release 3, but they've written it 3.11 for some reason."

[-] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Lol I had windows 11 before it was cool

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I wonder if I could upgrade it to Windows 95 and run X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter on it.

I really like the theory that the Carbon language is that 3-dimension one—a carbon lattice

The last one needs the prongs sticking out to make it a hyperhashtag.
