They’re trying to normalize calling high-level programming a “programming paradigm.” Don’t let them.

Looks like we found a good use case for facial generative ai

I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).

I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.

I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.

It makes boomers respect you more.

If you’re smart enough to know all that, you’re smart enough to know that being suspicious of differences is how our species survived, and we’re not going to evolve out of it anytime soon.

Ubuntu because it was the first distro (after Mint and PopOS) to boot on my eclectic hardware.
