Note the “left” in quotation marks!

There’s a kind of “left”, with anti-corporate policies just as vague as what some more populist right-wingers have, if not the exact same, that is just being used to call out “hypocritical, leftist virtue signaling by corporations”, which the right just uses to paint leftist social policies as unreasonable. That “left” also just seem to have a “reappropriated” version of whatever stuff the right appropriated for itself to make their isolationist foreign policies look less far-right as their “anti-imperialist” policy.

And when it comes to class warfare, it’s just the same exact work moralist and anti-intellectualist mess the right has.

That’s why I call these people leftists in name only. They’re not funded by George Soros, but by either Russia, or some “moderate, christian-conservative” party like Fidesz, if not both.

And then Putin can conquer them all…

That ‘left’ gets a hell lot of financial support, if not outright some method to organize brigading campaigns.

How does it feel to have zero empathy and getting off of the pain of others? You sound exactly like those who celebrate genocides.

Now I need two things:

1. Wait until it becomes available.
2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

And so is a lot of country. The far-right preys on young boys.

That’s the neat part, you don’t!

Jokes aside in extreme cases a psychologist could help.

It’s time to return to the roots, the times when you used goto instead of function calls! Fortran and COBOL all the way! /s

Once you look beyond the “git gud” and “we must gatekeep programming from the normies” aspects of coding, you might want a language that is either way more productive than C (D), a language that offers memory safety and functional programming paradigms (Rust), or even a language that has relatively good portability even at the cost of performance (Javascript).

If you’re only grumpy about Electron apps, then be mad at the corporations that:

• forced colleges and universities to teach Javascript and nothing else to students, so now we have programmers afraid of type declarations,
• jumped on the “Big Data” and “software as a service” train, so every app needed to be a “website”, because “it’s so convenient, pops no longer need to install wordprocessor dot exe, just type wordprocessor dot com into a browser”.

If you thought misspelling a variable was bad, then get ready for misreading documentation of OS API, then not realize why your implementation doesn’t work for a quite a long time.

Why are you covering for the fascist government of Russia?

I actually got into a fight over suggesting someone to use stock photos instead of grungy-smeary AI generated images for their (sh)articles, so at least I won’t believe it was too AI generated. Then they insisted on it being their own creation, and how they became an artist through words.

I would add to the downside that it’s not the best programming language for game development, etc. There was some blog post about how troublesome is it to develop games using Rust due to some of the features that are good in other areas, like the whole concept of “immutable by default”.

I can also recommend D, if you want to deal with different issues, like the D Language Foundation fearing of change due to not wanting to deal with division from a new and incompatible version yet again, the GC being both a blessing and curse, if you want to go without a (tracing) GC you’ll need to go with a custom runtime that potentially missing many of its features, the attribute hell, etc.

Thanks, but that’s not what I’ve wanted the help for.

EDIT: Why all the downvotes?

The standard answer is C/C++.

The nonstandard answers are:

• D. It’s fairly close to Java, but with garbage collection you’ll still at like 50MB depending on your usecase (it just doesn’t immediately give the memory back to the OS for speed reasons), or you have to use some of the alt runtimes without a GC and many of the standard libraries.
• Rust, if you can deal with immutability by default, a borrow checker, and many other quirks.
• There’s also languages like Zig, Nim, etc.

Yes, I’ve meant declarations, which makes stuff much harder. There are tools that automatically writes you the header files, but it was a major PIA when I learned C++.

Okay, I likely have mixed it up with another language, which sounded similar…

Issue with C# is, that it’s quite far away from a system language, and I would have to write the engine’s main core in some more system-level language, and I don’t consider it good practice to write every component that doesn’t directly interfacing with the OS in a trendy scripting language.

I have talked to people about Rust gamedev (including those who left Rust for D due to gamedev), and it’s not a very good one, due to the functional aspects. Outsiders often joke about how Rust has more game engines than games.

Zig has the header file problem. Header files were originally created to get around memory limitations of old workstations, that no longer exist. They also complicate coding, since you now often have to implement things at two places at once. However, Zig not only copied C++'s multi-inheritance, but also its header files, without understanding the actual reason why it existed in the first place.
