what do ancient religious wars have to do with persecution of queer people today...? Have you personally seen a crusade? Because I have not.

Here's some links for you in return, regarding actual hatred, abuse and violence TODAY:

I think you got christians mixed up with islamists, the truly violent bunch. But yeah, same shit different brainworm

yeah I was mostly focusing on the potential side effects and to not downplay that, but of course saying vaccines are killing the youth of America is just idiotic nonsense, no question about it
November 30, 2024 at 8:36 PM
isn't it possible the truth is somewhere between? Obviously vaccines are fantastic human progress and the anti-vaxxers are a bunch of morons, but there have been official global warnings about COVID vaccines such as myocarditis, although very rare (www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10....)

Myocarditis has been recognized as a rare complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccinations, especially in young adult and adolescent males. According to the US Centers for Disease...

what exactly is fascism and can you give an example?
November 30, 2024 at 7:04 PM
no I mean the C tier category, not the C language :)
November 23, 2024 at 12:33 AM
well not prettier, but more useful, yeah. That's what this discussion stemmed from: someone complaining Go was placed in C.

And I think it still stands firmly in C after this whole discussion
November 23, 2024 at 12:10 AM
I'm kind of dismissing its usefulness because it isn't unique like so many Go fans think. And so there are languages (like Java or Rust) that can do the same, but also so much more. And Rust does CLI undeniably better than Go. It's the perfect language for CLIs and similar standalone tools. Not Go.
November 22, 2024 at 11:57 PM
Because by spending time with the language I've realized the emperor has no clothes.

Creating a command line tool should not be handled by a language optimized for concurrency. Java would make just as much sense, and has great if not better libraries. Or Rust.

GraalVM makes static binaries like Go
November 22, 2024 at 11:31 PM
Well, I'd argue you are complicating things when not going for TS frontend because of the ecosystem of things that already exists and has been perfected as I said.

But yeah it's always good to create an alternative to challenge the mainstream. Just need to make it clear that it's experimental
November 22, 2024 at 9:43 PM
Yes, they are separate languages. Just try to write JS where you’d typically write TS and you’ll see the difference pretty quickly.

I started out with JS, hated TS because it “over complicated things”. Now I love TS and hate having to write, read or otherwise interact with JS.
November 22, 2024 at 7:28 PM
No it’s not complicated, just so incredibly easy and productive with all the high quality libraries that exists for TS (React, Node, Svelte etc). Why spend time recreating something that’s already been perfected by others? It’s seldom a good decision from my experience.
November 22, 2024 at 7:24 PM
Maybe through that question I asked you, you'll come to realize they failed in creating a better C++. They just created a more shitty Java.

And C++ code isn't being replaced by Go, it's being replaced by Rust. Again, it's painfully obvious you lack experience here
November 22, 2024 at 3:23 PM
I know why Go was created. I've used it for a long time now, and it's clear you lack experience here.

I'm ranking languages out of their realistic practicality.

Please, give me one (1) example of where Go is clearly superior to Java w/ JVM or GraalVM
November 22, 2024 at 3:22 PM
Like what – name me one practical and realistic alternative to TypeScript for the modern web. And by practical and realistic I mean show me something that can build this in an easier and faster way

You might see realistic practicality as shortsightedness, but I think you're blinded by tech hype 🤷‍♂️
November 22, 2024 at 2:58 PM
Sure about that bud?

Of course it's a personal take, but I think it's 100% right.
Unfortunately Ruby is headed only one way: down. It's legacy.

Yeah you can do ML w/o Python just as you can do web w/o TS, but it's just not realistic nor is it practical.
November 22, 2024 at 2:31 PM
Language usefulness. I.e. the return of investment in each language. TypeScript runs the modern web. Good luck competing without it. Rust because it's a more sound and modern C++. Python because it's insanely multi purpose and required for ML. Ruby is a dying language not much used outside Rails
November 22, 2024 at 2:18 PM
If you need more performance than Java, Go is not going to give it to you. The JVM is often faster than Go's GC and runtime. For higher performance, Rust is often the right choice. But C++ has something Rust doesn't: flexibility. That's why serious software like games are still being written in C++.
November 22, 2024 at 2:10 PM
And to be more specific regarding Go: Java can do basically anything that Go does, just better. It's got virtual threads like Go's goroutines (colorless functions). It has the option to build standalone binaries (GraalVM). It has a much larger and better ecosystem for basically anything. Go is meh.
November 22, 2024 at 2:08 PM
It sure is :)! There is a metric shit ton of amazing software written in C++ that's only possible due to the nature of C++. High performance video games tech like Unreal Engine, editing software, compilers & runtimes, real time systems like automotive and the list goes on.
Go is highly overrated
November 22, 2024 at 2:00 PM
Unfortunately it’s in D even :(. The ranking weighs usefulness/practicality, not just how enjoyable the language is
November 22, 2024 at 11:27 AM
standardized tier list, basically
