@aescling @wallhackio this is the idea behind Racket; i’m not sure i agree but i do think lisps should be a required 200-level course
@wallhackio it’s wild to go through a basic computer science class and still not be able to read a single file of C code because they never REALLY taught you how malloc() and friends worked
in programming languages like Javascript where imports are essentially dynamic links, i think it makes no sense. just use the M·P·L, it’s cleaner and more straightforward and the added virality of the G·P·L isn’t actually useful in most cases.
when writing statically linked C code: yeah okay, i get why you might want to “study the whole program”
@wallhackio our class did this and even at the time i felt like they should have just done C instead
@wallhackio @Satsuma listen to this album it’s not like this https://ssm.lnk.to/YELLOW
baldur's gate 3, spoilers do not read aescling
@wallhackio the only good ending, “died fucking an incubus in hell”
@aescling i don't know enough about how linkers operate to say. but git does do a huge amount of setup and teardown (see <https://github.com/git/git/commit/3f2e2297b9c88a6ab5fc4bff02cf2a07ce057589>)
@aescling hmm?
@aescling my point was that you could be an espeon
i don’t want to know what code the computer would write to do the thing i just did but i have absolute certainty it would be wrong
@aescling in pokémon mystery dungeon if you are an eevee you can evolve into espeon after you beat the game
