Aww, the hype got to ya... yeah, seeing it again and again, at least don't do like everyone else who are starting to shill for the language without even having tried it. I'm just tired of rust activism, so tired.
For me it depends on the size, for small stuff like 1000-2000 lines of code that mainly I just work on alone, something like python is okay, if it is something longer, I miss types a lot.
The thing is nim is more than just a typed python, it just works really well, I've had a lot of fun with it the two or so years that I've used it.
But then again, I have a lot of fun testing out different languages, and don't care about marketability, since I'm just programming as a hobby, and not as my profession, right now I'm playing around with picolisp, and it's pretty fun :)
I was moderating, this whole thing started, and I moved over to lemmy, I don't get why people are still continuing to do loads of work on a site that hates them with an even more toxic environment than before, not really for me.
I don't know what stuff you are interested in, and yeah, it's not a platform with algorithms that will push stuff that the site thinks that you will like on you, so you'll have to do some work to find people you like. If you tried mastodon.social or some other humongous instance that doesn't really have a culture itself also it makes the whole thing more difficult, joining something like mastodon.art or hachyderm.io or some other one with an a bit more focused theme will usually be a bit better for getting started since your local feed will not be so random.
You can't be following the right people then, I have tons of people speaking the 3 languages that I know well, talking about interesting and fun stuff, sharing things they learned and cool things they made. It's all about curating your feed.
Yeah, sure it's a bit of a hassle, but it's not like it's complex or difficult, that's what I meant compared to how often I do it it has not been an issue, after you have bootstrapped with a couple of follows, and keep an eye on the local feed it's pretty easy to get rolling, and then just following interesting people that the people you talk with boost, or people that you enjoy discussing with. I haven't added someone from a search in years, it's just a bit of work in the beginning.
I was using python for quite a bit, but don't like how cumbersome their types are, I really fell in love with nim when I was looking for alternatives, it's an underdog, but personally I really like the langauge.
If I find someone from another instance in my flow I don't need to do anything other than click on them and click follow. As long as you search from your instance, and not somewhere externally you can just follow them. Also the process when it's not your home server it's just a box where you enter your user name, not really convoluted. So I don't see what you're getting so worked up about to be honest.
Sure lemmy is easy in that way, and if you like it more by all means just use it :) Nothing stopping you from that, but you are playing up non issues as "infuriating"
I just read through my feed, and if I find people that look interesting I click the follow button, it's not like it's hard, I have a really interesting feed full of cool stuff.
Yeah, I am really impressed about it, at first I was thinking about what the use of it would be, kind of wouldn't make much of a difference. Then I tried it out, and it just feels like home, it's so much more compact, I really love it, and I've used it for a couple of weeks by now :)
The content is the same, as it federates with lemmy, but the server and the code that runs kbin is completely different, it's written in php while lemmy is written in rust. Kbin also has support for microblogs (like mastodon) so it's not lemmy at all really, but it can talk with it :)

A reporter asked the spokesperson from the WHO about Taiwanese membership and the guy was just pretending he couldn't hear her (Probably due to China being a big player in the WHO)

1: My Teacher: Where is your homework
2: Me: I'm sorry I couldn't hear your question. Yvonne.
3: My Teacher: Ok let me repeat the question
4: No, that's okay. Let's move to another one then.
