I hate try/catch/throw in wishy-washy hand-wavey languages so much.

That flow tends to be used for every error not just exceptions, and it's incredibly bad and frustrating because the possibility of error is never in the type signature of a function (and in many cases not even documented)

Still in absolute fucking awe of individually separate sacks of organic matter coupled with levels of what we call consciousness.

Saved a wax-eye from my cat today. Took a little while for it to perk up enough to fly away (poor sod thwacked a window)

Korn: Hollow Life. Fucking love it

Latest update to lapce is amazeballs. Honestly this editor is fantastic - fast, stable, smooth. I definitely prefer it over vscode. https://lapce.dev

Also helix to replace vim - https://helix-editor.com

Just updated lapce and damn it's getting nice https://lapce.dev/

OH: "in Rust you don't use common sense, you use the compiler, and imo that's great, my common sense has failed me enough"

"I don't care for Rust because I'm a great programmer!"
Well, you very well might be, but everyone has moments when they are not properly caffeinated. Getting things right *every* time is the domain of machines.

Time for coffee and cybernetics

It's so frustrating how wishy-washy half-arsed dartlang is about *anything at all*.

Oh you want to declare a function? Guess what - you don't have to declare the return type of it. Or you can if you want. Whatever.

Really starting to despise these sorts of languages.
