So PHP 8 is being released, which provides some new features, refinements and the like. I won't go into it because I don't use PHP, but I am a huge fan of the new 'match' expression they have introduced. It's just syntax sugar, but I can see it being very handy.

PHP: PHP 8.0.0 Release Announcement

PHP 8.0 is a major update of the PHP language. It contains many new features and optimizations including named arguments, union types, attributes, constructor property promotion, match expression, nullsafe operator, JIT, and improvements in the type system, error handling, and consistency.

Alright homies, I'm learning Common Lisp, any suggestions on projects or exercises, or reading material? Also, any things to be weary of in terms of design?

I'm pretty familiar with functional progrming, I learned Haskell a little while back and generally incorporate FP patterns into my day to day work.

Using this as a stepping stone to learning Clojure. I'm interested in both so I figured I'd start with CLisp first.

This isn't for work or anything, I just really like functional programming as a paradigm and have had a growing curiousity for learning Lisp.

Yes I like FP but no I am not a troon.

Sure. Don't.

Just go with Clojure from the start, man. It's just as faggy but you have the benefit of it being slightly less of a dead language and slightly more worthwhile to learn in today's post 1970s world. Tell 'im, @Shoggoth.

Nobody has ever said this and have it be actually true.

I've heard that generally speaking a lot of the nastiness and pitfalls of old versions of PHP have been ironed out into a usable language, like for javascript. This gives me hope for the world that we can move towards languages being simply better (in a very broad and uncontroversial sense).

I assume you meant wary, but you'll probably get weary of the parentheses pretty quick.

At the risk of offending any Common Lisp programmer about 2% as much as their scent is offensive, don't bother with CL. Clojure is actually good.

Have they deprecated their absurd choice for namespace separator (the backslash, as in "MyClass\MyThing") and used something sane instead yet?

This is a stupid question, but are there any other website framework-languages that let you have the layout of pages in the URL be the same as the source code hierarchy? Django you have to pass a dict to your template, I think Grails is the same, it seems like most frameworks are model-view-control now. PHP, while not used this way popularly might be the only framework that lets you lay out your site the same way you organize your templates.

Which is best to code an online shop from scratch? I've heard asp.net is better than PHP.

The last .net site I used stole money from me. When I bought something the charge price on the card was different from the price advertised on the site for the item. The genius who made the site did set up the database correctly to allow dynamic changes in price for an item, so that same field is displayed on the item page and is what is set to the credit card processor. It's not one of the options, but Django (python) is nice because you don't have to manually set up the admin interface of editing dynamic information stored in the database. With Django you would write a Model with SQLarchenemy for an item in the store. By just doing the Model you get an admin interface and an object that you can send to you temples. I've never bothered with asp.net, but everytime I look at inspect elements on some bogus website I always its name commented out in the source. Given how smug Mircosoft and their users are about their products you'd think it'd be deserved. Microsoft and their Stans are suppresives how can't do anything be vote wrong and go on food stamps and be arrested for having too many baby mamas. PSA: don't let niggers write software.

Man, the problem is SQL and trying to get consistency in a synchronous distributed system.
Tables are stupid, having more than one writer is stupid, putting the query engine in the server is stupid.

Noticed they changed the master branch to main. Fuck off and die M$.

Huh. I could've sworn the change happened before the acquisition (for whatever reason I'm remembering the Microsoft buy as being more recent than it is). But no, you're right. The master->main change happened last year, but Microsoft has owned GitHub since 2018, so undoubtedly they had a hand in that faggotry.

started naming my test branches "tyrone" and "lasheena" as a form of protest
