Depends on whether or not you have the time to read. Listening to audio books can be done while walking, vacuuming, etc. Also while commuting, where reading might cause motion sickness.

There doesn't need to be a language where that's the case for it to be desirable in Odin. However, yes, there are languages where that's the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Function_Call_Synta

Except we were never talking about JavaScript. I thought the OP made it pretty clear that they only cared about the syntax of method calls because they flow nicely and more easily support auto-complete in editors. Simple syntax sugar that t

> Method-syntax is more than syntactic sugar. No, method syntax is just syntax. In some languages methods are more than just syntax sugar, but there's nothing special about the syntax itself.

Because it works differently than existing languages?

As it stands, this comment contains no information. Can you explain what about Lua is problematic?

Programming is certainly not artless.

If you're using a relational database for your web app, then you're doing something very similar to ECS, but more powerful.

They try all of those different diets because "just eating less" doesn't work for them. If it did, they'd already be doing it. Also, claiming the diets are "ridiculous" means you must have a better understandin

Those are just type aliases. They're just different names for `string`.

I always treat those popups as a reminder to switch to old.reddit.com. The annoyance of having to do that then reminds me why I don't use reddit much.

That doesn't mean it doesn't matter or doesn't affect them.

Not if you just do one of the smaller broken down tasks at a time.

Right, colored functions are e.g. async or not async. In Zig, you can write a single function that works as both, which I assume is what multicolored means here.

I think the problem is that the headset still seems too inconvenient to use in all of those locations. I think this stuff will make more sense when these are the same form factor as a normal pair of glasses.

> Using Unicode codepoints makes invalid state unrepresentable. Is that true? Maybe it's not "invalid", but you might very well slice through the middle of a grapheme cluster.

Wouldn't layout/rendering etc. be done in terms of grapheme clusters?
