We don't need Rust anymore, the main reason people said Rust was good is because much memory safety but now we have Fil-C, which is safer and as far as I know has yet to suffer a vulnerability.

If the Rustoids really cared about memory safety (they don't) they'd be all over Fil-C (they aren't). People may make other excuses (e.g. performance from the GC) but this would be shifting the goal posts because Rustoids claimed memory safety was more important than everything, including performance. The whole thing was a larp, nobody cared, we can all stop pretending!

Rustoids don't care about safety. They like the type system and cargo and have always wanted "Javascript as a systems language" to be a thing. It's been a troonlang disguised as a "safety necessity" for over 10 years. Also, they no longer have "it's still the early days" as an excuse for low adoption rates. Rust is following the adoption curve Ada had many years ago. C and C++, at this point in the life of the language, had much broader adoption.

My brothers in Slaanesh, your language is gay and nobody cares about your autistic obsession with type systems when they want to get shit done.

Until it's off of Xenforo, it's PHP baby.

I can't settle on which is worse

People shit on PHP but a huge number of sites still use it. It works quite well and modern versions of it have removed many of its worst parts. It is a workhorse.

No surprise that the most hated language does not attract the usual freaks that subvert open source projects. They have nothing to gain from involving themselves with a project they think is dying, while the working man can just work and improve on it uninterrupted.

PHP's obscure error messages are in fucking Hebrew or some shit, actually.

GCC 16 technically hasn't been released yet but you can download the preview and the changelog is up - https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-16/changes.html
one particular thing has caught my eye

theyve added support for ALGOL 68 for some reason!!!!
so i did a bit of digging, algol now has a website - https://algol68-lang.org/
and it looks suspiciously like the new website for C...
...


also apparently theres a whole new working group from gnu dedicated to a68, but with a major caveat, algol 68 is still owned by the IFIP working group!!!

i laughed when i read that

GCC 16 also added C++26's reflection features too

A statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

If the assert fails does it start throwing romans?

Yes, and the process is crucified.

Why choose a kikelang or a troonlang when HolyC is right there?

What's the name of that ugly as fuck ui / css framework that everything vibecoded has these days?
e.g. https://flopathon.cc/

It triggers me more than lineart hipster brand logos and almost as much as Humans of Flat.

Looks like it is just using tailwind. But with heavy use of gradients and such which is what makes it look vibecoded

The font appears to be "geist", which was developed by Vercel ("Build and deploy on the AI Cloud."). The site might just be using the font, I don't know.

Seeing instructions telling me to use NPM to download a font makes me want to commit a series of war crimes.

I feel ASP is superior to PHP. I just really dislike PHP syntax.

Asp.net is quite good indeed. Though, I prefer saturn/giraffe on top, to work with more idiomatic f# code.
Though, I guess it does make it somewhat similar to node with routing and such? (node pisses me off so much, almost as bad as working with ABP)
