It sure is

Does that headline not sound absurd to you?

Billionaire fascists have no friends, they have accomplices and pawns. Both are disposable once they served their purpose, much like the values and principles said billionaires pretend to stand for.
The only thing they value is themselves and their innate disdain for everybody else.

Yeah I meant the modern republican party. It’s kind of ironic that the party that freed the slaves is also the one that wants them back.

What a surprising turn of events! Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn’t a rich white guy? Preposterous!

I really wanna know where you get your language info and examples from because nearly every single one you wrote in your comments is just wrong.

Program state in Rust isn’t immutable. datastruct.nextState() is not only possible, but perfectly reasonable, it’s exactly how iterators are implemented.

The fact that it can be used as a scripting language doesn’t mean it’s a scripting language. You could use C++ as a scripting language as well, but it would suck.
C# even supports native compilation nowadays, not just JIT, so it’s definitely not a lowly scripting language.

Anyways you’ve got options. Go may also be one of them if you want GC, I forgot to mention it.

I’ve found working with Rust and Bevy to be quite pleasant. If you’re used to working with ECS, I suggest you at least give it a go.
Rust is as functional as C++ 20 with ranges and views is, which is to say it isn’t. Not sure where you got that impression from, but while it does borrow some ideas from functional languages, it’s still very much a procedural one.

Zig doesn’t have headers, nor inheritance. Again, not sure where you got that from, but Zig is basically a modern C, so there’s no OOP anywhere, let alone multiple inheritance.

As for what to use, I think they’re both viable alternatives. I lean more towards Rust, but that’s just due to familiarity. Odin also looks like a viable option, if you don’t mind a smaller ecosystem.
If you want a garbage collected language, then I’d go for C#. Despite its historic reputation as a Windows only language, it’s been cross platform and open source for roughly a decade at this point. I find it great to work with.

alright you’re being dense on purpose… toodles!

…indeed they are…
…and in this case those are…?

No I just don’t get what any of that has to do with a joke about Wikipedia becoming weird because it’s being run by a crazy anime girl from Konosuba, that’s all…

whut

Wikipedia is about to become a really weird place…

Look, you either kill rats or kill people. I love animals, it’s unfortunate we need to experiment on them, but it’s also naive to think we can make progress without doing it. At best one could make an argument for death row inmates to be experimented on, but that would be quickly shut down as unethical and there wouldn’t be enough anyway. There is no way around animal testing, we can only keep it to a minimum.

People dislike JS because it’s packed full of moronic footguns and technical debt. The “standard library” is full of baffling decisions and, much like the language, rarely does what you expect. Even its creator agrees it’s a terrible language and should have been replaced by now.

TypeScript is better, but at the end of the day it’s just an illusion. Add an any anywhere, which will happen, and you’re back to square one. It also still inherits some of the weirdness of JS, because it is just JS with fake types bolted on. Plus, the amount of work one has to do to create a proper library with TypeScript support completely undermines the few advantage of JavaScript. Might as well use a real statically typed language at that point, at least you’d be sure your types are actually enforced.

Also, the whole web ecosystem is ass. The hoops one has to jump through nowadays to do web development are absolutely batshit crazy. And no, having a create-whatever that sets things up for you is not a real solution.
