You know, I always wondered what the original image looked like, and even trusty Know Your Meme doesn’t show it. It looked like this:
Rust is completely correct to be a dick about it as well. Type safety is there for a reason.
It works and is a pile of jank - Python
It doesn’t work and is a pile of jank - C++
You violated gods laws with how bad your code is and it still runs (right through the wall) - C
a compile-time error is highly preferable to a run-time error
You wouldn’t typecast a car.
I may be on the wrong side of history but I can’t see what other role a car could get in the film industry except vehicle.
What about typecasting to a car?
For our American friends: the Opel Corsa is a car.
Debatable.
For the Brits, it’s a Vauxhall Corsa.
For everyone : it’s a sh’tbox (never again)
C when I cast a
char * *to achar * * const: okC when I cast a
char * *to achar * const *: okC when I cast a
char * *to achar const * *: WTFC when I cast a
char * *to achar const * const *: okThe WTF case isn’t allowed because it would allow modification of the const. From https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/implicit_conversion
int main() { const char c = ‘c’; char* pc; char** ppc = &pc; const char** pcc = ppc; // Error: not the same as cv-unqualified char**, no implicit conversion. *pcc = &c; *pc = ‘C’; // If the erroneous assignment above is allowed, the const object “c” may be modified. }
Please stop, I have CPTSD.
Perl when I iterate over an object and treat the result as a hash reference: “fine, whatever. Fuck you, tho”
Hey at least it’s not JavaScript which is perpetually high on crack with Object object
1 + 1 = “11”.
[] + [] = “”
Well, that happens when you don’t override the
toStringmethod. Not worse than Java’s 0xf00cu
In bigger projects, you tend to miss type safety really bad, really fast. Rust has it built in, Python can have it bolted on. That’s simply one of the many aspects to consider when choosing your programming language.
But don’t worry about it too much. If one thing’s for sure, it’s that you will regret that choice in any case.
You don’t even need to cast in Python, a reference is a reference.
And that’s why I don’t use Python for anything more than simple scripts
Python doesn’t have casts and is strongly typed.
Do we need any more proof Python is superior?
(I’m ^joking, ^I ^love ^Rust)
