Programming Curves

[Lord_zeel]

The learning curve for C is sharply upward, flat for a bit, then a strait vertical line downward that represents the developer having experienced a real life segfault.

[Joao-ujkm]

C/C++ learning curve actually has bumps where you move back.

I browse both linguistic and programming content, so after the first sentence I was like "oh, languages, yeah." then I heard "go" and I was like "oh, LANGUAGES"

[TOracle]

The learning curve for C++ is a lime that extends to infinity because know one mind could ever hold all of it.

This man does more marketing for Haskell than every Haskell project in history combined. I might just try to maybe think about Haskell because of him.

[PierreThierryKPH]

Haskell has a brutal learning curve at the beginning if you're alone, but it's such a joy after that. Even during the learning, actually, but it's a struggle sometimes.

According this rust is a time machine?😂😂😂

I actually believe I now understand async rust... after 2 years of working on a project which I restarted from scratch in the middle because the previous owners of the project didn't do it in a rusty way. And had to add reverse engineering of encryption and hashing algorithms to re implement them in the project, and optimization to have it work as a web application...

[jirapit]

Can we actually talk about what exactly are hard about async rust? As a rust beginner, rust feels very straight-forward. I used multi-threaded async rust in many of my projects, and everything just worked beautifully, but after talking with many professionals who use rust, I strongly believe that this is just an illusion and there must be something that I missed or haven't yet encountered to actually understand what are hard about it.

[erice.]

this is true. try writing a function that returns an async function in Rust, and you’ll find out it’s basically impossible to satisfy the compiler.

[caschque]

Yeah, learning Haskell even to a basic degree is an eye opener. At least it was for me. learning how to do functional programming is so helpful.

[LordHonkInc]

I tried learning Rust by implementing "Ray Tracing in a Weekend" last year, went great. Then I wanted to parallelize it; I'm still working on that bit.

[yhaerim]

I've studied Haskell and I love it as a language. Simple, straightforward, functional programming language.

[Canilho]

This is funny because I could tell from other short that this guy had issues learning async, and he mentioned it in this one :D
It's part of the learning, either you got it, or you don't!

[malachibergman]

I love Haskell. I taught other people when I was in college and it was a great experience. I didn’t know anyone else who genuinely enjoyed it. I loved it

[kaylee]

The JS graphs should have some outlier dots randomly placed around because out of no where you're hit with a piece of code that makes you go "there's not way that works... wait no it does... but why? how? who hurt you as a child?"

[Semex_e]

I fucking started learning rust by making a web server ... after 17 years of programming, I thought I was an imposter !

[QuirkCreep]

C++ : "curve, Interesting..."

[Templarfreak]

very similar curve like with Go with Lua. lil bit up, smooth sailing, then you start getting into things like coroutines and that the standard library is so tiny, but from there pretty smooth sailing again.
