C is a 50 year old language

Magnetism was first described about 600 BCE. Electricity around 2750 BCE. Today, electricity and magnetism are outdated.

The integral symbol was invented by Leibniz in the 17th century ffs, why is everyone using this obsolete garbage?

No, the correct analogy would be saying that our understanding of what magnetism was in 600 BCE and our understanding of what electricity was in 2750 BCE are outdated.

What advances could have happened in our "understanding" of the C language? Or, perhaps more to your point, what advantages do other languages have over C? Efficiency and tidyness of the source code? Efficiency of the compiled program? Functions that are completely impossible on C?

I think an even better analogy still is comparing it to mathematics, which has not changed in syntax in centuries.

C is out of date

<doesn't know about C18

Get out. C is incredibly useful. You wouldn't have a fucking operating system without it. It's also insanely portable.

doesn't know about C18

Oh yes, I do. From what I remember C18 doesn't add anything substantial. It was mostly just a maintenance update.

You wouldn't have a fucking operating system without it

Even though most of the operating system I use is written in C, if C didn't exist it would be written in a better language and suffer from less security vulnerabilities. All this C code holds us back.

It's also insanely portable

Technically all languages are portable. Since C programs often rely on operating system features, they are usually tied to the same operating system they were designed for making them less portable.

And the other likely option is haskell ends up with full dependent types before idris is ready, and then everyone just sticks to haskell anyways.

Dependent types in Haskell won't be as clean as they are in Idris from what I've seen.

Sun hasn't made any systems using SBus in the past 15 years. Probably longer than that even.

Take this example. A guy on /diy/ was wondering how you'd make a circuit that goes through a certain sequence of numbers. Took me more time to draw this than it took to come up with the mechanism. Like I said it, a fucking cakewalk.

ok. If this is turning from "how do we keep up the poetic justice fun" to "git gud" why not just do it on these people's twitter?

anons go to laid off journalists twitter.

Completely ignore everything they say.

Have a code discussion that they can never hope to understand.

They are clearly the ignorant unsophisticated ones

Not in the cool kids club

We're not just telling you to code. We're co-copting your twitter into a code tutorial hub.

They write "17 reasons Why all white men should die." We just have a 50 reply discussion about shit like this

>>12727745

I think that would be fucking hilarious and work on many levels.

Fuck that's actually a circuit where when you push one button the others reset.
