I've a sneaking suspicion that there's only a very low number of people who are in any way decent at programming, but they've realized that there's no way for them to transmit that knowledge to the rest of us and so are content to let us keep running around like retards and making grand, overly generalized proclamations about programming on hacker news.

visual C will never be updated past c89 so we can deduce that c99 is not real C

 struct point p = { .y = yvalue, .x = xvalue };

defaulting to nullable types is one of the very few things i dislike about java

We have a thing in our build system at work that actually does nullness checking and sometimes it's a pita because it's not that smart but jfc is it better than dealing with nulls everywhere. now if only the teams we integrate with would actually mark their poo poo @Nullable

it's not overloading in ruby

it's basically lvalue = rvalue unless lvalue

or assign rvalue to lvalue unless lvalue already has a non-falsey value

l += r ≡ l = l + r
l ||= r ≡ l = l || r

makes sense to me
