C++ makes programming look way harder than it actually is.

In Haskell, you could do something like map (\(thisItem, nextItem) -> …) (zip list (tail list))

MATLAB is bad not because it's not object-oriented, but because it's proprietary and can't be run without an IDE.

I hate animations. I'm glad that scrolling is instant in Neovim.

Depends on the community. In Lisp communities, for example, it's very much a hot take. Which is a shame, because I'd love a statically typed Lisp-like language.

Tabs could be a good idea if their default size in most environments (and often not configurable) wasn't 8, which is terribly big.

Tabs are designed for tabulation (hence the name), not indentation. The side effect is that a tab's length changes based on its position in a line, which is terrible for programming. If you use tabs in the Python REPL, it looks like this:

    
>>> def frobnicate_all(arr):
>>>     for item in arr:
>>>             frobnicate(item)

  

Most communities are not on lemmy.world (the one we're on is on programming.dev), and even those that are there are not on their own subdomains:

They're called “communities”, not “subs”.

Yeah. The original comment was about programmers who say that a language is “unintuitive” because it doesn't look like another language they know.

Yes, I agree that the len() thing in Python, and inconsistency in general, is bad. But pretty much all popular languages have many inconsistencies.

They do: since it's only one word missing, they can easily brute-force it themselves.

But they do know most of the password…

In Czechia, it's definitely normal to say salary per month.

Maybe they could allow you to brute-force your password without CAPTCHAs?

Whatever definition you use doesn't change what actual "woke” people think.

I didn't say it based on the definition you posted; but bassd on my countless encounters with “woke” people.

I think people of all races should be treated equally, which is apparently considered racist according to the woke ideology.
