@wallhackio By the way, if you have installed Perl on your machine (if you're still on Debian, that should be trivial, just apt-get install perl), you could do perldoc -f die to find out what the function die does!

@vaporeon_ javascript is the only real language, everything else is an imitation

@wallhackio This is slander of the C programming language

@vaporeon_ I mean, its syntax was inspired by javascript so it's still a great language :]

@wallhackio
It is JavaScript that was inspired by C, there was no JavaScript in the 1970s, but there was C

@vaporeon_ if c had dynamic typing it would be perfect :]

@wallhackio You should try the programming language B, it's the ancestor of C and it doesn't have datatypes

@wallhackio Disclaimer: I don't know whether you actually can run it on a modern computer... But you can always emulate a PDP-11 with SIMH!

@vaporeon_ oh shit really? 👀

also I was joking I don't have problems with C's typing

@wallhackio Here's a web page about it: https://www.nokia.com/bell-labs/about/dennis-m-ritchie/bintro.html

B only has the machine word, there no distinctions between char, int, or pointers, and as far as I know, it doesn't have structs either
That's why it was superceded by C

@wallhackio I don't think it's a practical language for modern-day use

But if you want C without datatypes
You can get C without datatypes

Have fun LOL

@vaporeon_ oh no structs? :(((((((

@vaporeon_ structs are one of the best things in c

@wallhackio Yeah
Structs were one of the big improvements that C had over B

They're even the reason why they could rewrite the UNIX kernel in C instead of assembly:

By early 1973, the essentials of modern C were complete. The language and compiler were strong enough to permit us to rewrite the Unix kernel for the PDP-11 in C during the summer of that year. (Thompson had made a brief attempt to produce a system coded in an early version of C—before structures—in 1972, but gave up the effort.)
