Didn't mean to cherry-pick
I believe that programming language has the power to push its user to write in a certain way, not just a mere tool to convert idea to machine code.
What I learnt by writing Rust turns out to be useful when applied in other language.
- unnouinceput 6y agoI disagree. Look at what that guy did with C macros. He was Fortran lover and wrote entire programs in C using Fortran syntax by re-purposing macros for that goal. You always write in same style, regardless of programming language.
- valand 6y agoThat does not negate my argument though My argument was: > I believe that programming language has the power to push its user to write in a certain way Not: > I believe that programming language has the power to enforce its user to write in a certain way In contrast, your argument here is more debunkable: > You always write in same style, regardless of programming language. You cannot ALWAYS write in the same style with disregard to your programming language choice. The black swan: Try writing GLSL and Haskell in the same style
