      Male otters kidnap children otters and hold them for ransom until the mum gives them food.

    I’ve seen that in style guides ”because it should piss of everyone equally”.

  Having an asterisk both be the type indicator and the dereference operator is one of the great programming language design blunders of our time, along with allowing nulls for any type in so many languages.

    I also sometimes wish that the syntax in if statements was inverted, where () was optional and {} was required.

      Rust makes this choice and it is way better.

      Cab you give me an example? I’m not sure I follow. Might be language specific?

    Having assignments return a value is right up there as well.

    source

    • GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Because of the possibility of accidentally performing an assignment in a conditional expression?

      If yes, I agree that it’s not great.

  I’m just a c# dev wishing to fuck we had something visual to indicate reference types so my coworkers could stop misusing them

      oh thank you! I use jetbrains but I wonder if I can implement the same thing

    It’s such a short list of value types though. How can they have that much trouble? All of the various ints and floats, bool, char, structs, and enums. Everything else is reference.

  Wait until I tell y’all about const.

  Int *p is unreadable, unreasonable, and bad programming.

  source

  • Ferk@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But the syntax clearly intends int *p.
    Otherwise you would only need to do int* p, q instead actually being required to type * in front of every variable name when declaring that way: int * p, * t;

      That’s because C was designed by a fool.

  Ever written a entire php in one line? I did, and that without separation whenever possible.

  Man my coworker even ended the trolling contest over that.
