Today I attempted to write and sort of succeeded* in making an extension for #php and let me tell you right now, my utmost respect goes out to @thephpf because I wouldn't wish C upon my worst enemies.

@SecondeJ, have you tried Rust? I thin i saw a guide a few months ago about someone doing a rust function and exposing it as a php extension

@ocramius @dabiddo

Rust mostly blows my head off, so not sure how much success I'd have here

@SecondeJ @dabiddo yeah, but then at least you get compiler assisted "you're wrong" rather than HAHA SIGSEGV

@ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo I'm tired, so I read this as "HAHA SIX SEVEN!" and now cannot unsee it

@stevegrunwell @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo “Six seven” is basically what the system is saying to you when it segfaults.

Also, are you in elementary school? 🤪

@ramsey @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo no, but I live with someone who is.

Parenting is weird.

@stevegrunwell @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo My wife (my wife) is an elementary school art teacher, and since 6-7 has no real meaning, the kids are always trying to find creative ways to use it as a response or reaction to anything.

WHY ARE THE KIDS GOING AROUND SAYING SIX SEVEN, even my own child is doing it, it's driving me bananas

Show threadSteve GrunwellFeb 25

@SecondeJ @ramsey @ocramius @dabiddo it's funny to them because it frustrates us; it doesn't *mean* anything, and our old brains are like "but...why?!"

The best thing we can do is ruin it for them by laughing with them. If it ceases to confound adults, it ceases to be fun and will go away.

Show threadSteve GrunwellFeb 26

@SecondeJ @ramsey @ocramius @dabiddo even if you had the right number of equal signs, 6/7 (0.857143) would never be strictly equal to the Boolean TRUE, so the conditional would always pass.

You'd might as well just echo "bollocks" and be done with it 😉
