        At least with labview there’s all sorts of NI proprietary shit which makes instrumenting labview equipment slightly less torturous. Matlab is literally just expensive Python inside the world’s worst GUI and one indexing so it’s annoying to port algorithms out of it

      It’s the only programming language I really delved into. I haven’t had to program since college. I found it very useful.

      I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you’d recommend?

          Yes. However, The same cannot be said for every other dev on the project.

          Typescript helps a lot but JS still lacks a lot of the functionality, and especially the tooling, available in other frameworks.

          Going from ASP.Net Core to NestJS is like digging holes with a shovel instead of a backhoe. It feels like a huge downgrade. And then half your time is spent dealing with the incredibly finicky dev environment.

          I am not impressed.

            Interesting! I have built several projects entirely in TS or with react/next frontends and I enjoy the DX a lot now that I have the experience with the overwhelming breadth of options out there. It was very frustrating and overwhelming for me at first though. I found Dockerizing to help with consistency and finickiness.

            Just curious, what are you missing most from asp.net core?

      It’s worth going hungry in the dark. Lawyer up and hit the gym. JS doesn’t deserve you.

        And a Python developer is born!

        Source: I moved on from an abusive relationship with JavaScript to a healthy not-at-all-controlling equal partner relationship with Python. And four spaces makes perfect sense, once I really considered Python’s point of view…

    Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!

    Rust: you are transgender

    ASM: you are a nerd

    Python: You are a high school student

    Java: Your brain is so big you can accomplish anything.

    PHP: You could likely do it all in JavaScript

    HTML + CSS: You don’t know programming but still want to look cool. If you need JavaScript you can ask ChatGPT.

    Brainfuck: you like to brag

    What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don’t know jack shit about programming?

        When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.

      I’m like that because:

      • I need a hobby
      • weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
      • now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it’s just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
      • Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
      • personal issues
