Hello, Idris World! and Why I'm Excited for a Total Programming Language

The articles are just window-dressing for code snippets I want to keep.

#HCL isn't a #programminglanguage, it’s a configuration syntax, meaning you can grasp its mechanics in weeks once you understand #networking concepts. #JavaScript takes longer due to its asynchronous nature, but it is necessary for decoding #web app vulnerabilities.

Btw #HCL is HashiCorp Configuration Language.
This is what it looks like:

resource "aws_vpc" "v" {
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
tags = {
Name = "prod"
}
}

🤔 So you decided to create your own programming language because, why not? It's not like we have enough of those already, right? 😜 Fear not, amateur linguists: the author assures us it's "easier but harder," which is super helpful! 🙄 Oh, and don't hold your breath for this "not another CC/Rust killer" to ever actually exist. 😂

Functional Programmers need to take a look at Zig.

Bonjour 🙂

Voici un petit comparatif de la programmation d'un bouton qui fait alterner un texte.

▶️ Événementiel (JavaScript/DOM, Gtk, Qt...)
------------
label := 'state 1'
on click:
label := (if label = 'state2' then 'state1' else 'state2')

▶️ Mode immédiat (ImGui, G'MIC...)
--------------
setup:
label := 'state1'
draw:
if click:
label := (if label = 'state2' then 'state1' else 'state2')

▶️ FuncSug
--------
while true:
label := 'state1'
await click
label := 'state2'
await click
