I just calculated exact subpixel accuracy, for me it's exactly 20.5̅9̅5̅5̅3̅3̅4̅9̅8̅7̅5̅9̅3̅0̅5̅2̅1̅0̅9̅1̅8̅1̅1̅4̅1̅4̅3̅9̅2̅0̅ % that is still missing to fill the whole comment body with rainbows, way to go!
Let's start the sixth rainbow!
Plenty of space for me still (browser version on desktop)
Rookie numbers, it's probably 15% on my screen, There's space for a lot more rainbows
"easily" solve it.
FTFY
And we're about to enter the fourth rainbow dimension in the next comment...
Until the competition isn't as shitty and doubles the salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We're in the third rainbow, keep building more stripes lol
True, Python has a very big userbase and a lot of cool libraries and is nice to quickly hack something together.
Though the title of the post is
If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?
So TMU I want to predict the future in a way that it positively affects me, and find a language that fulfills this role best (throughout the stack, so that I'm not limited). And honestly I wouldn't want to touch Python with a long stick, if the project is moderately complex (and isn't easily off-loadable to native libraries that Python builds upon) and say > 5000 LOC, the super dynamic nature of python is a curse in this regard.
Zig > Rust because actually writing safe Rust code
Start thinking more functional, I rarely have issues with the borrow-checker, or even have to write unsafe. But it obviously depends on the context, when the issue at hand really requires a lot of interior mutability or unsafe can be pain.
I'm also super fast nowadays with Rust, probably faster than with any other language (thanks to great tooling?).
SUUUUUUUUURE!!!11 I"M oN ITTTTTTTT
