@VisualMelon Before I go and complain about how this is obviously stupid, I'll stop and reason that they must have a reason. So, would you happen to know that reason? Is it efficiency, and Lists are really what I want if I want to append?

Are we allowed to have the Unicode RTL override in our username?

@El'endiaStarman indeed, just that - sorry for my terse reply, I was trying to work out how to phrase what you just said

@El'endiaStarman I assume it's like arrays in C / C++

@Doorknob And java.

@El'endiaStarman Oh I thought you meant Lists

@El'endiaStarman You should learn C or assembly. Studies show it makes programming 58% less confusing.

I recommend C++ with C libraries

@feersum Assembly? Really.

@feersum I actually do know some of both.

C++ is my least favorite language, mostly for the error messages.

@SuperJedi224 Cause, ya know, Java.
@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ
@El'endiaStarman Tried clang++?

I have not.

@VisualMelon The whole std::cout << stuff thing strikes me as very unlike C/C++

@quartata Seasoned C++ programmers tend to code C++ like C++, not like C.
2
People who write C-style C++ annoy me.
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Another barrier to "entry" (i.e., taking the time to get better) is that with Python, I can run my code straight away. C or C++, I have to compile and link, then run the executable.
 
feersum
feersum
11:04 PM
That's why you use an IDE with a compile+run button

Now, I only just recently discovered/learned that there are online REPLs for these languages...

Thankfully no one ever looks at my C/C++ except me, so I don't need to apologise to them in advance
 
quartata

@ChrisJester-Young I more meant that it doesn't seem very much like C/C++'s strict syntax. I didn't mean to say it isn't C 0/10
I get that it's operator overloading

@El'endiaStarman Makefiles!
 
quartata
quartata
@El'endiaStarman I mean technically Python is compiling your code to bytecode.
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
11:05 PM
@feersum The only IDEs I've used are Eclipse and Virtual Studio, and I found both to be very big and slow. Again, I'm used to Python's IDLE.
 
quartata
quartata
If it bothers you, make a makefile that compiles and runs
 
feersum
feersum
Use a lighter one then.
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@Doorknob Then I have to write the makefile...
@feersum Like what?
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
@quartata Or do something like alias go="make; ./something"
 
Chris Jester-Young
Chris Jester-Young
@El'endiaStarman Have you used CLion yet? It's still new and full of bugs, but still handy.

I use CodeBlocks

@El'endiaStarman Xcode on Mac is pretty nice. Still big but not as sluggish as Emacs.

It's probably pretty crappy

@El'endiaStarman I use basically the same makefile for all my C projects. They're easy to generalize (with GNU make and stuff like wildcard, at least).

@AlexA. It's not free, but since I already use ReSharper for work, I actually have an all-you-can-eat JetBrains licence, so my subscription covers all JetBrains products. :-P

@El'endiaStarman if you want a lighter C# IDE, I recommend SharpDevelop - I only used to use it on my netbook because VS C# Express edition was too heavy, but its long my preferred IDE when I can use it

@Mego So, I like Boost.Format. You get the benefits of format strings (easier localisation), but it's type-safe and interacts well with IOStreams.

Mouse (programming language)
The Mouse programming language is a small computer programming language developed by Dr. Peter Grogono in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was developed as an extension of an earlier language called MUSYS, which was used to control digital and analog devices in an electronic music studio. Mouse was originally intended as a small, efficient language for microcomputers with limited memory. It is an interpreted, stack-based language and uses Reverse Polish notation. To make an interpreter as easy as possible to implement, Mouse is designed so that a program is processed as a stream of characters...
