Choose Nixos and get both!
Choose
NixosGuix and get both!This guy guix it
Why yes I am a
geekguik, how could you tell?I’m working on it. Just waiting till Christmas.
What is guix? I’m aware of nixos. Are they related?
Guix is the superior version if NixOS. It is less bloated and more performant while also more stable.
At least that is what I think it is. Never heard of it before. But I love Guix it is my personality.
Lmao 10/10 username
They are very similar concepts, but Guix is configured using Scheme (specifically GNU Guile), instead of the crazy nixos language.
Do you have a good comparison? Like maybe two files that do similar things?
I might give it another try. Third time’s the charm. I’ll wait for you guys to have a decent wiki tho.
wiki.nixos.org is pretty good
Yes, but also I don’t have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn’t help with that either.
So add in other issues and it really ends up as
Here’s a project for ya, make porn out of polygonal art
I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I’ll think I’ll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn’t seem like a good starting point.
TempleOS and HolyC are all a computer needs
Languages without a GOTO statement are so passé
On the hardware, it’s all GOTOs
GOTO DEEZ NUTZ!
GOT 'EM!
I like some of the latest cutting edge stuff like Lisp and Scheme
COMEFROM is much better
Oh good, then Lua’s in the clear.
But in Lua, goto is just a table with a bit of syntactic sugar.
GOTO is overrated. On Error Resume Next is where it’s at.
Haskell, where you can’t even goto because it doesn’t really work that way

don’t forget the ! it becomes a mail link without it
Hmm, it didn’t turn into a mail link for me on the Lemmy webpage, so I left it, but yeah, I guess some clients might make it a mail link…
i think i blocked the community anyway
Holy hell that /c is a dumpster fire
Choose nixos
2 birds 1 stone
While you’re here, have you heard of lapis, the lua web dev framework? I like it and that means that you have to too!
Does gdscript count? It mostly just feels like python tho
GDScript is actually pretty good - it’s similar to what TypeScript did for JavaScript, but for Python. However, IMO it’s still worth using C# for larger projects
Hey, I know this really obscure programming language that’s totally cool. It’s called Python. You should try it sometimes.
No, thanks—I prefer doing things in R.
Amateurs. Try Ruby.
Don’t make me pull out my fancy plots.
I had a colleague 20 years ago choose RoR for a multi-million dollar hospital software project despite the fact that he was the only programmer within 150 miles with even a rudimentary knowledge of it. I say “multi-million dollar” because that’s what it ended up costing to develop it; the only revenue it ever generated was an initial $60K from the client, and even that ended up being refunded after three years and a system that still didn’t work.
I wasn’t on the project myself, but I did get to sit in on a client meeting where this guy said “but we’ve written six times as much test code as application code” and expected that to somehow mollify the client.
Is C obscure? Everyone acts like its old and obsolete, yet its still the compilation target for most new languages, it seems
Only because the original C missionaries are dead now.
Then I’ll pick up where they left off
ACCEPT COBOL
I’m a D developer. It’s mostly like C and C++, but with a kind of optional garbage collector (which I might get rid of in the future through a custom runtime), and decades of hindsight in language development. No precompiler, no mandatory header files, a very nice to use template system, and a very powerful metaprogramming system. The catch? It’s obscure enough for it to not have a lot of support libraries, so you have to spend the time saved from pulling your hair out from 1970’s language design on developing your own solutions (then pull your hair out from undocumented OS features).
