I don’t know about you, but I can recall and recount perfectly a dream I had almost 15 years ago about a battle in a warzone.
Weirdly enough, two years later I was caught in an irl war. I still think that’s interesting, even though it is most likely coincidence.
Servo is being actively worked on. Maybe it can become a worthy adversary to chrome?
And OP talks about Alchemy, which commonly uses the energy that different materials have inherently to create magical artifacts.
It’s literally using what God already created.
If it involves pointers, not unlikely.
Honestly, given the context of a browser, Javascript’s “Everything is better than crashing” philosophy does not seem too out-of-place. Yes, the website might break, but at least it would be theoretically usable still.
Yes, a statically typed language would help, but I’d rather not have one that is “these two types are slightly different, fuck you, have a segfault”, but rather one that is slightly more flexible.
With C, you need to carefully craft your own gun with just iron ingots and a hammer. You will shoot yourself in the foot, but at least you’ll have the knowledge that it was your craftsmanship that led to it.
With C++, there are already prebuilt guns and tons of modifications that you can combine at will. If you shove it in the right way, you can make a flintlock shoot a 50 cal, but don’t complain when your whole leg gets obliterated.
And yet somehow it evolved to become something that will last to the heat death of the universe.
I’ve grown used to it with time, though. Once you know it’s “quirks”, it’s not so bad.
And equally, Google is yet to use the big guns they have. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Google with a passion, but they have way too much power over the internet for us to leave even a dent on their plans.
Yet not many people can brag about breaking half of the internet in one swift blow.
Oh, yeah. When people discover shallow clone vs deep clone is when shit hits the fan. Though anyone that comes from a C background shouldn’t fall on those traps either way.
Say what you want about it, but it will not go down without using everything in the vicinity as a weapon if ammo runs out. While others go down, they will be kamikazeing themselves to get the job done.
If I could, you can bet your ass I would.
Then there’s KBin, which communicates with both.
I shall henceforth take the title of wizard.
It’s a bash script made to be run on MS-DOS on a breadboard computer.
I have not known happiness for 12 years now.
It’s way worse on C and it’s family. I still have nightmares with undocumented embedded dependencies that are so intertwined with the codebase that make JS look like a godsend.
