codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/277543/115910 Does this look like a good method of annotating a solution? I feel like it might not work well with more complicated nesting

Honestly it's whatever you feel gets the meaning of your answer across the best
Some explanation styles may be better suited depending on the complexity of the answer

Since nginx config files appear to be Turing complete, someone should try golfing in them. It's basically an entire scripting language

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ironic thing is, java isnt even true OOP
kotlin is more OOP than java lol because primtitives

I think the statement is true, "many" is an ill defined term and I think you'll find many developers who think OOP is the bets and Java is the epitome of that, regardless of if it's true.

I think it's true that many developers prefer Java because they were raised on Design Patterns™️ and Portability™️ and 20 years out of date university CS education, but the statement is false because documentation and support don't even enter the picture :P
@mousetail'he-him' or conversely, the only thing that actually makes someone racist is failing or refusing to combat the racial biases that everyone acquires
racist thoughts do not a racist make

You know you're in deep shit when the professor of the course you're about to take emails you a week in advance of the first day of classes with a personalized warning about freshmen rarely being able to survive his class 💀
Like it's specific to my circumstances too, he did his homework in warning me that I should run while I still can

> In India,1st April is considered an April fools day. Every financial year (April to March) in India,31st March is the last date to file income tax to the government. While in India the taxes are low compared to developed nations from Europe and America, the tax does not match with the pathetic facilities provided to the public by its public services. For this reasons 1st April is considered an April fools day, as its also compliant with the April fools day worldwide.
