Interesting. Never even heard of F# before thanks for the suggestion

Yeah, forum posts are becoming really useful again. A few years ago whenever someone posted a question to a forum you could often find the same snarky remark in the comments: 'just google it'. There was even a website created to add to the snark (let me google that for you). And there was some truth to that comment. Usually you could find the answer pretty easily with a quick search.
But that's not the case anymore. With AI slop, search engines are getting less and less helpful. Slop has polluted our search results just like plastic has polluted our oceans. It's at the point now where search engines are almost useless for large subsets of common queries. So we are slowly returning to a pre-search engine era. In this new, post-search engine era, forum posts provide a very useful way of providing information. Long live the forum.
That's true. And it can be fun to mess around with ChatGTP 2. Sometimes its unpredictability can be entertaining
It definitely seems like it would be satisfying once you get the hang of it, the learning curve seems steep tho
Thanks for your response. The language comparison stuff seems useful
Programming lego robots sounds like fun
This is a unique answer, thank you.
Is that a compiled or an interpreted language?
All these comments on LISP here are just making me realize I don't really know what LISP is. I will have to look into it. Thanks for piquing my interest
Okay that makes sense. Thanks for the comparisons here
Even a CPU made today starts off by booting up pretending to be an 8086 processor, a 16 bit CPU from 1978.
That's fascinating.
The godbolt compiler looks like it would be very useful for learning programming. Reminds me of this website even though it's not quite the same because it's a game.
Thanks!

Stuff like this makes me very sympathetic to lemmy instances that disable downvotes
