Shinku ABOOKEN posted:i know writing queries can get a bit involved but is this really necessary?? eh, it looks pretty much like sql server management studio which works with other dbs and with better autocomplete/intellisense (which wouldn't be hard). nothing wrong with making queries less tiresome to write imo. anything that eases the mechanical tedium of writing SELECT * FROM a JOIN b ON etc ten times a day is nice

eric lippert's monad series is a pretty readable introduction to monads in a more familiar language. between this and the last six pages of monad chat, i think i'm finally starting to grasp the concept. not that knowing that a monad is a monoid in etc etc is of any real use to me, since all the useful monads come bundled up with some pleasant syntax in c#

what we really need is a more thorough set of constructs for working with loops:code:
of course, we're reusing existing keywords for maximum backwards compatibility (and confusion)

leper khan posted:why are you using a for loop anyway? just map a function across your collection no. that makes it too easy to reason about the code. by reusing a bunch of keywords, we can significantly increase the difficulty of comprehension - especially if we introduce some subtle and surprising semantics here

HappyHippo posted:just discovered that java has unsigned integer support! "the unsigned API support does not introduce new types like UnsignedInt with instance methods to perform addition, subtraction, etc. However, that lack of separate Java-level unsigned types does mean a programmer can accidentally improperly mix signed and unsigned values. However, new unsigned types aren't the only way to mitigate this hazard. For example, a naming convention of adding a trailing "U" or "_U" to variables holding unsigned values could be adopted." loving lmao, this can't be for real

comedyblissoption posted:my first programming language was microsoft's variant of C++ 98 since that was what was used in our high school programming language class. the AP tests were done in C++ too. C++ for pedagogy is ill-advised and probably absolutely killed the interest in programming that many in that class might have otherwise had. good
