Your thoughts on Jai?
>>109892126I don't know almost anything about it, since I don't pay much attention to things that haven't been released. I maintain curiosity though, because of the long development and because I once heard someone state that the language's core design blows Zig and Odin out of the water.
i like how he only shares the compiler to neet youtubers
I jai'd your mom last night.
Imagine working 10 years on a programming language and then have it made obsolete by new technology before you even release it.
>>109892126This is the first time I see any code in it.It looks like shit.
yet another esoteric meme lang no one will remember in 3 years. I guess blowjob had some fun making it, which is fine.
>>109892749Rust was an esoteric language too. Now it's part of the Linux kernel.
>>109892802there are people outside 4chan who talk about rust though. The same can't be said about this one.
>>109892802it is still an esoteric language that is in Linux kernel
>>109892832>The same can't be said about this one.That's a lie. People talk about it on twitter, including prominent youtubers>>109892834You are now moving the goalposts. And you are wrong, again.
>>109892859>including prominent youtubers
>>109892869Pic has almost 2 million subs and has been promoting Jai.
>>109892749are you memeing or are you genuinely confusing "esoteric" with "obscure" or "niche"? Esoteric specifically refers to turing tarpit langs like malboge and brainfuck
>>109892834rust is a shitlang, but it's objectively mainstream now.
>>109892859>prominent youtubers
>>109892126What can I do with proc_code?
>>109892859>AI slop rises in popularityAnd?
Pretty cool but not very useful to me.
>>109892996iirc, it gives you access to ast nodes, so you can do lisp-like metaprogramming
>>109892698Fpbp>>109892126Obsolete before it launches. No one writes code by hand anymore.
>>109893071>it gives you access to ast nodes, so you can do lisp-like metaprogrammingThat is absolutely not how you do lisp-like metaprogramming. But alright, it's better than what you get with most curly brace languages (nothing).
>>109893096well, not syntactically. semantically it's basically the same shit (treating code as data). he also had a whole ass macro facility, and that was more lispy, but it's being years since the last time i followed the lang.
>>109893140>semantically it's basically the sameSemantically, it's completely different. You don't know what the semantics of the word 'semantically' are so I'd stay away from metaprogramming if I were you.
>>109893168okay, mr. smartie pants. enlighten me and tell me the difference.
>>109893180It's like claiming iterators and callbacks are "semantically the same". It's like saying "I'd just like to interject for a moment" and then tard-wrangling the entire conversation. It's just not the same, "semantically" or otherwise.
>>109893257okay, this is dense, but i get you. s/semantically/conceptually, if you care that much about the wording. what i meant, is that you can basically do everything that you would do with lisp (metaprogramming-wise), albeit not as ergonomically.
>>109892802JScript was an esoteric language too. Now it's part of Windows kernel (or whatever, Windows distro).>>109892832nobody speaks about JScript though :[>>109893096>lisp-like metaprogramminga nothingburger compared to literally {any} runtime. i saw Blow's into about the language, 's like 80% about runtime feature (running stuff without comping). imo they all got mind tricked in 2000-2010 into a compiling fashion without prior runtime studies
