/dpt/ - Daily Programming ThreadWelcome to the Daily Programming Thread. What are you working on, /g/?Previous thread: >>107575071
>>107627028there's still a bias. See the 8? Scroll the image.
I'm done working on my image reviewer app.https://github.com/kjpgit/PhotoReviewer4NetReally fun side project, and I'm happy with it.

>Right and wrong: ten choices inlanguage designhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2211.16597Interesting enough to make me want to learn Eiffel and perhaps even rehabilitate OOP in my mind. At the very least, I respect the focus on OOP and the discipline to purity.
>>107628127> Language exposure is not by itself the problem; the trouble is that together with the language they were taught bogus principles such as “multiple inheritance is bad” (often just “inheritance is bad”), or “overloading is an OO mechanism” or “you should make fields private and write getter functions to provide access to them”, or “you can return from anywhere in a function”, or “writing interfaces helps OO design” or “you should use defensive programming” and other atrocities apparently entered into young minds at the same time and with the same authority as the information that the earth revolves around the sun.absolute truth nuke

>>107628127OOP is Smalltalk, extreme late binding of all things.That's it. All the contract stuff is unrelated.
>>107628127uh oh
>>107628415I don't feel so good
If you were going to implement a nested menu program like xmenu but for wayland, what libraries would you use? Wlroots should be able too, but the learning curve is a bit steep
>>107628644Actually wlroots shouldn't work, turns out it's just for compositors and is the wrong tool for the job when making applications
>>107628644Depends if you're doing it "from scratch" or not.Like gtk or qt _could_ be twisted to do that, but you'll have to poke around at the lower level wayland interfaces, because xdg_toplevel isn't really the right type of surface for that.If you're doing it yourself, all you truly need is libwayland-client and something capable of drawing into some shared memory, e.g. Cairo + freetype2.
>>107628644wayland is all about NIH'ing, so i'd just implement it myself.
