I am somewhat annoyed at the lack of hash maps in C right now
@vaporeon_ python dictionaries and javascript objects have ruined every other popular programming language for me
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ clojure goes a little further this direction than most with map destructuring in argument vectors being idiomatic and common. very nice stuff imo
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ you liked Racket still
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ oh i can't read you said “popular”
@wallhackio What do Python dictionaries have that Perl hashmaps don't? Sincere question, as I only know Python very superficially
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio can you nest hashmaps in Perl?
@aescling @wallhackio Can't, have to use references instead. But can you in Python?
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio trivially
d = { "a": 2, "b": { "c": 3 } }
@vaporeon_ @aescling @wallhackio this was another of the raku fixes btw
@alas @vaporeon_ @wallhackio *noticing your display name* *in a bougie British voice* i’m very sorry to hear about the mathematics. barbaric stuff, those mathematics…
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio er, more purrecisely, can you create a nested hashmap literal in Perl?
@vaporeon_ hm, I don't know enough about perl to answer this question
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ every language needs the third shape of data
