Boomer programming

Why are you still using Boomer-made programming languages?
Its time to move on and dump this toxic garbage.

I am not using Go.

I am not using Rust.

I am not using Haskell.

I am not using Symta.

I am making a gen-Z language for my PhD.

We're living in a simulation... and that simulation is written in JavaScript. UniverseJS.

cant believe this place conned me into getting into lisp and haskell

what a waste of time that was

>>8
that's ivory tower academia bullshit that nobody in the real world uses

it's like the programming equivalent to esperanto

>>9
More like lojban, loglan and ithkuil.

>>8
ahaha same

e/pol/in boomer maymay, /pol/ro

>>8
Same. I've also been using ubanto for years because of this place. But then it did get me into programming, which got me a 120k java corporate job in the end.

>>12
are you an boomer anus?

>>14
no, but my'm am also not a /pol/ro anus. /pol/ros should go back to imagereddits

>>8
Getting memed into lisp, c and linux was a great thing

Boomer Operating System
https://programmingmadecomplicated.wordpress.com/2017/08/12/there-is-only-one-os-and-its-been-obsolete-for-decades/

>>17
One OS. One Platform. One Ecosystem.

>>18
Monoculture is bad. Biodiversity prevents disease outbreaks. Similarly, security flaws in Unix-like OSes has far-reaching implications because of all the Unix derivatives.

Write once, get hacked anywhere.

>>16
what about Haskell? will knowing it ever be useful?

>>17
this argument against textfile supremacy is retarded.

>>21
It's actually the only argument in the entire posting that makes sense. A standard binary representation of an AST is a much saner serization format than flat text. That's been a thing since at least Interlisp; never caught on because there's nothing Lisp weenies enjoy more than inventing new representations for things. Text won because a human can still futz around with it easily when weenies change the syntax and break your tools.

All the other business in there about insufficient level of abstraction in operating systems is just asinine. Of course you can look at everything as a bag of bits if you want to and giving applications that choice is not a weakness. Just because you have a philosophical issue with loaders doesn't mean the work they do is unnecessary. We don't have magnetic core memory anymore; stuff can't just be left sitting in DRAM indefinitely until you need it again. If and when that changes it'll indeed be a big deal; until then what we've got is okay.

This guy also apparently missed the last 30 years of his fellow wankers trying to make the OS do even less than Unix does. If you want to build a magic pixie system that runs on fuzzy reasoning and rainbows, the first step is getting Unix out of your way. That he's not screaming for that, tells me he has no coherent alternative to offer here.

I only write C# in Unity.

Lisp and C were useful because they sparked a passion for computing and made me smarter.
I think Haskell may have the same effect, but I don't have the energy and interest for it.
Haskell is useless, so it's hard to get hard. Edited on 17/06/2018 12:36.
