@degenmma @tsoding svn is new stuff compared to cvs that I used at my first job

@tsoding Y’all haven’t worked on true legacy codebases until you’ve worked with svn

Git is not the only option

@valigo Implementation is secondary to the idea. Which may be good or not, but if it can be implemented in many ways it doesn't make it not real. Same as ECS can be implemented in dozens of ways with different properties and trade-offs

You know Object-oriented programming is not even real, because people argue which vtable flavor is "real" OOP - static array-based (C++), or dynamic hash-based (Objective-C) Here are Jai bindings for C++ class, and for Objective-C runtime. This is your "OOP" under the hood.

@frogtoss Need more information on what the thing actually does and what is the intended use. The description in the twit can be read as anything.

Announcing Grain DDL: code generation by and for demanding engine developers. Define your structs and data once. Write custom generators for protocols, save files, language interop, shaders, databases, more. No macros, no metaprogramming. Generate reviewable code on every keystroke. 300kB compiler exe. Windows, Mac, Linux. Closed beta applications are now open - link in replies.

@degorov76 @valigo Прескрептивисты не дремлют я смотрю, уже "я" как "я" читать нельзя

@valigo Придерусь, но в медленной речи произносите "свЯ", хотя надо "свЕ" (а на сама деле свə, со звуком "шва"). Это из-за иллюзии, что в русском слова читаются так же, как пишутся, но это не совсем так. Не сравнить, конечно с английским, но все же.

I'm a native Russian speaker. This is how you pronounce it:

@neogoose_btw I would expect filepaths not to contain fullpaths of the system the file was built on. Recipe for leaking stuff you don't want leaked.

I wouldn't say how but somehow I got a binary that was definitely compiled with jai I am wondering what should I do with it

@tukarsdev @chhopsky @ankkala there's no problem ... proceeds to describe one of the most difficult problem in software, especially performant software

@chhopsky @ankkala I disagree, there's no problem with creating a modular and configurable system that basically every game needs, when everyone is building the same thing, it makes sense to include a base to build off

Hear me out. Isn't this something that should ship with basically any game engine by default?

@ThePrimeagen I can understand how someone who doesn't know what operating system is might think that the term originates from "how you operate the system".

Can we stop using the term operating system? Gentlemen, it has lost all meaning

@valigo Most recently game I refunded is Space Marine 2. It costs a lot and is mind numbingly boring. I'm less likely to refund some cheap indie game.

@valigo I think that it's good that you can refund a game and it's bad that you can't refund everything else you've mentioned

I never refund games unless they straight up don't launch. I feel like it's petty. You don't refund a ticket if you didn't like a movie, you don't refund a meal in a restaurant, you don't refund a ticket to a band show because they can't play live. Games being different is weird

Why all those C alternatives look so much no like C, it's annoying

@samueldcorbin @cmuratori Technically correct, the best kind of correct. It's an impersonal sentence, which do have that "it happened by itself" connotation, like a force of nature

@cmuratori There is one part of this I just cannot agree with. "It happened" is not passive voice!

[1/2] I don't normally make commentary videos, but after seeing the entirety of Eric Schmidt's University of Arizona commencement speech, I felt like there was a lot more going on than just "CEO mentions AI, gets booed". So I made a video to explain what upset me about it.

@cmuratori @samueldcorbin The term you're probably looking for is "impersonal sentence", not "passive voice".

@samueldcorbin I would certainly consider it passive voice, but maybe that's just me. What definition of passive voice are you using to consider it active?

@valigo Oh, wow, today I learned. I thought this was just my crackpot idea.

@L771834 > languages that ditch "program is a simple text, that we need to parse" LISPs are unironically this. And experienced LISP programmers use structural edits instead of simple text editing, where they operate on s-expressions directly. See paredit: youtube.com/watch?v=D6h5dF…

The thing I like the most about C is how you can write large amounts of it without any advanced IDE support. Even simplest editors support going to headers, the language is very greppable, so navigating the codebase is trivial. Same is actually true about Jai (minus headers). We do have Jai LSP, but I just don't really need it. On the other hand, working with TypeScript is Java is virtually impossible without LSP or IntelliJ. Maybe it's a property of the language itself, maybe it's just culture of structuring the code in nasty ways, I don't know. There's definitely an art in making a programming language that does not require super complicated tooling to be efficient in it.

@valigo If anything it's a shame that there no languages that ditch "program is a simple text, that we need to parse" in favor of something else. I'm not talking about visual programming here

@valigo I don't feel like that is a selling point of a language as strong as some may think. Not a lot of professional development for system languages is done on a machine the developer hasn't setup. And if you can setup it why not use good tools?

@nicbarkeragain Absolutely agree on PRs being a huge timewaste. At least for the purposes of finding errors. Might be a good tool for initial alignment on coding practices in a new project, or with new team members

One of my controversial opinions is that in non-critical domains, code review / PR culture has caused a catastrophic loss of productivity. IMO code review should be mostly a tool for training juniors. Ironically the "10x" people claim w/ AI is often just removing code review.

One of the absolute killers of productivity in programming (and most other disciplines) is too much overlap between people's work. The highest velocity teams are doing mostly independent streams of work with infrequent, well defined points to combine the results.

@oxcrowx Gb made a language that he likes and people like him like, he has no obligation to make it to your liking. Engaging with your ragebaits was a mistake though.

My issue with Odin is, "I don't like it, as it's not good enough." If one day I release my language, and someone / everyone says they don't like it, then I'd most likely ask them, "What can we do to improve it?" Bill wants everyone to support his bad decisions. If you don't,

@TheGingerBill @SoPraInformar @oxcrowx Or in general I don't want to see a function that leaves the data in inconsistent state if used by itself

@TheGingerBill @SoPraInformar @oxcrowx Actually exactly that, reducing amount of things you need to think about while working with the system, as opposed to working on the system. If i have a collection implementation i don't want resize implementation to be public.

Public by default is wrong. It feels productive to use it for a moment. However since public API is smaller than private API, users will be annoyed when they have to later mark significantly more things as private, before they deploy their code. Then they will say Odin is bad.

@wookash_podcast I'll be honest I don't know, I don't follow personalities all that much. As to memory, cache misses, and all that I'm sure anyone would say that you get worse performance with OOP, but if you simulate 3 on 3 pokemon fight you don't need top performance for outcome resolution

@L771834 Who would be a good guest? Ideally so that we can talk about low level stuff, how it impacts assembly, cache and memory

I just learned that this style of OO programming is still taught in 2026 that's 200k views, 2months ago, "Rebuilding Pokemon with Object Oriented Programming"
