And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.

Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

Kids today just don't know real code

Hell, kids today don't even number their lines anymore. What's wrong with the world?

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

Goddamn I'm old.

As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious

Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.

You can yoink that word from my cold, dead hands!

Funnily enough, that is a keyword in rust.

(it's a placeholder to remove any bikeshedding)

Ugh. Just

its_giving rizz ratios vibe;

No more needless nesting plz

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

That's way better than my emoji based programming language.

I’m not so sure. Send a link.

Post the GitHub repo.

I will help you make this happen.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sure! It doesn't do anything yet, I just have a text file with how I'm intending to architect it.

It quite literally started ~~two~~ four (edit: I can't keep track of time) days ago.

I'll configure a repo, stick this in a file, and push it. I'll reply with another comment so you (and others) can look it up.

I've come up with some crazy stuff. Instead of something like "class" to indicate a class, it's

🏫 Followed by the emoji name of the class like 🖼️📁. So it will need to be able to handle operators in the name it's amazingly gross! Properties and methods will also be emoji names, like to get the 🖼️📁 "File Name" it would be 📁💳.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I was kind of being sarcastic. I haven’t written a compiler since I rode my dinosaur to college. Still it’s a funny idea. Could probably do it in C using a bunch of pound defines.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was thinking Rust, but that works too.

Because then I could call the Language Spoons.

It would as uncomfortable to use as it is to watch Rusty Spoons

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

I'd take that yeet instead of return...

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago
[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

This is a better argument to adopt Rust than memory safety or even sane package management.

I fucking love it. Gen Z slang is so lighthearted and fun.

[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Big "you damn kids and your phones" vibes from this

[-] throwback3090@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 month ago

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

This was by far the best way to explain current slang.
I got all of it No Tea

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Should else be big_yikes? That seems situational to me.

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Well. I think I'm officially out of touch with the newest generations slang terms. I only understood about half of that.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have many gray hairs, but here's what I know.

  • Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

  • fax is "facts" - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

  • Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

  • It's giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

  • Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

  • Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

  • Tea - (n) gossip. (v) "spill the tea"

  • Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don't think this one makes much sense here.

  • Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

  • Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike "Kobe", which is a throw with aim)

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You missed

  • Rizz = charisma
  • vibe check = Vibe is kinda like someone’s aura or energy. So to check their vibe is to call them out on it.

Also got many grey hairs but I like to know what people mean and language evolves. Our generation did it too you get me blud.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the catch, I thought I got all of them. Stay skibidi and not Ohio, my friend.

No problem. Ohio is a new one for me?

[-] introvertcatto 6 points 1 month ago

There was meme on titkok, someone says "only in Ohio" when something weird, impossible, unbelievable or some stupid bizarre shit happens.

I've seen forms of this joke quite a lot in the last few years, and it never fails to make me laugh.
