Anything else, basically. There’s not a lot of languages that are currently used and much worse.
My preference would lean towards something like Nim, probably, but I’m definitely not the best one to answer that. But javascript and its whole ecosystem is rotten (I mean, that’s sort of the reason the article exists here) and it is just not fit to make anything. The fact that people even bring javascript as the backend is a bit crazy to me.
I mean, it’s good, but what needs to be replaced is javascript.
I relate more to meters than an arbitrary bus. And science communication is about making things clear as a priority, and this does the opposite.
I was commenting on the title.
What does “a bus” bring instead of a measurement in meters? Nothing, so why put it as a title?
You’re the one deflecting, for some reason, and trying to ignore the title which is supposed to be the first thing you read.
Everything but metric, huh
Not always bad? Wtf is that nazi crap?
Kicking someone to a place where they don’t want to / cannot live is not bad?
Even if you kick someone out for “right” reasons (which is already not proven to exist) it is still bad, that is the point, if it was something nice it would not be used as a punishment.
The kid that brings me my bacon sandwich when I’m hungover is about the height of a small bin, but he’s really lovely and is definitely learning more about the world than he would be sitting in his room.
And that’s the most important thing. Within reason, kids doing part-time jobs will teach them about the world. The grimmer the work they do, the more incentivised they’ll feel to work hard at school so they can avoid a rubbish job.
“Sitting in your room and developing a sense of self and learning to not require permanent social interaction is horrible. Instead, kids should suffer and see how soul-crushing capitalism is, so that they can be terrified into fitting in the mold and will accept settling for shit pays and jobs because they are already used to those”
Makes a post with the typical “look, a fat loser”, then tries to judge reddit and lemmy?
Funny.
“It’s quite good” “you cannot trust it”
What is your definition of good?
What a recipe for disaster…
And if the burgers are made by people who just grab random items to try to make it look like a burger, whether or not it is edible, no one would.
AI code is unreliable, unsafe, and worst of all, has no basis of even basic intelligence. I’d trust more code produced by a monkey than by an AI. Trusting AI code is like trusting a very realistic drawing of a tunnel and running into it while knowing that it’s a drawing, because “it looks like a real tunnel so it must work like one”. AI code is not code, it’s keywords scrambled together to look like code.
*most of the internet
Code is not something that you consume, it is something that you build.
You want a house made of cardboard because it’s affordable? Sure, just don’t start pretending like it’s an actual house, and don’t try to rent, sell, or lend it to anyone.
More like a search engine on LSD.
AI results are always shit when trying to find anything not completely obvious. You end up more often than not with an hallucinated reality that has absolutely no value.
“The cult of understandable things”
Yeah ok bro, sure.
Who doesn’t like a gigantic shitty code that “just works” after all?
Yeah, try criticizing alcohol even here on lemmy, and you get an army of addicts getting so mad at the mere idea.
Same for meat consumption.
People don’t defend smoking as much but yet it’s still legal everywhere.
We know other kinds of brains than animal brains?
Yeah and totally not the beginning with the romanticised rape scenes of a kid.
AIs are effectively destroying the word, causing huge social and environmental issues.
They might not have the same individual impact, but it is unequivocally and hugely immoral.
I mean both. But while I understand that there is for now not a lot of alternatives for web scripting, there is a lot of backend languages which makes backend javascript even worse.
