It is so weird when people idolize programming languages. They are all flawed and they all encourage some bad design patterns. Just chill and pick yours.

Yeah, but that makes it sound like they're all equal, and there hasn't been any progression, which is untrue. You're either insane or a historical reenactor if you write something new in COBOL.

I think Rust is genuinely a huge leap forwards compared to C/C++. Maybe one day it will be shitty and obsolete, and at the very least it will become a boring standard option, but for now...

Rust is already obsolete, compared to Stingpie's excellent assembly language, paired with object oriented programming!

This is the SEALPOOP specification:

  1. an assembler must create a binary program which satisfies the programmer's specifications.
  2. a compiler must translate the programmer's code into SEALPOOP's parallel instruction set source, which should be fed into the SEALPOOP PISS assembler.

Well that's going to get cancelled. Think of the non binary folk out there!

Don't worry, they have DreamBerd

Booleans can be true, false or maybe. Technical info: Booleans are stored as one-and-a-half bits.
