Until it's off of Xenforo, it's PHP baby.

I can't settle on which is worse

People shit on PHP but a huge number of sites still use it. It works quite well and modern versions of it have removed many of its worst parts. It is a workhorse.

No surprise that the most hated language does not attract the usual freaks that subvert open source projects. They have nothing to gain from involving themselves with a project they think is dying, while the working man can just work and improve on it uninterrupted.

PHP's obscure error messages are in fucking Hebrew or some shit, actually.

GCC 16 technically hasn't been released yet but you can download the preview and the changelog is up - https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-16/changes.html
one particular thing has caught my eye

theyve added support for ALGOL 68 for some reason!!!!
so i did a bit of digging, algol now has a website - https://algol68-lang.org/
and it looks suspiciously like the new website for C...
...


also apparently theres a whole new working group from gnu dedicated to a68, but with a major caveat, algol 68 is still owned by the IFIP working group!!!

i laughed when i read that

GCC 16 also added C++26's reflection features too

> static_assert("MCMLXXXVIII"_r + "XII"_r == "MM"_r);
A statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

If the assert fails does it start throwing romans?

Yes, and the process is crucified.

Why choose a kikelang or a troonlang when HolyC is right there?

What's the name of that ugly as fuck ui / css framework that everything vibecoded has these days?
e.g. https://flopathon.cc/

It triggers me more than lineart hipster brand logos and almost as much as Humans of Flat.

Looks like it is just using tailwind. But with heavy use of gradients and such which is what makes it look vibecoded

The font appears to be "geist", which was developed by Vercel ("Build and deploy on the AI Cloud."). The site might just be using the font, I don't know.

Seeing instructions telling me to use NPM to download a font makes me want to commit a series of war crimes.

I feel ASP is superior to PHP. I just really dislike PHP syntax.

Asp.net is quite good indeed. Though, I prefer saturn/giraffe on top, to work with more idiomatic f# code.
Though, I guess it does make it somewhat similar to node with routing and such? (node pisses me off so much, almost as bad as working with ABP)

ASP isn't ASP.NET. ASP you had the choice of VBScript, JScript (microsoft's version of JavaScript) or PerlScript.
ASP and PHP were contemporaries. However PHP changed massively over the years whereas ASP is now dead.

ASP.NET until they basically open sourced it and made it cross platform wasn't that great either.

I really doubt that @debristar was talking about the OG ASP.

 

[SchizoDaemon]

I don't know. ASP & PHP were contemporaries back in the day.

Generally I used to like ASP.NET until I tried other things and realised how much boilerplate I had to write to get anything to work.
