Choose ~~Nixos~~ Guix and get both!
This guy guix it
Why yes I am a ~~geek~~guik, 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 passΓ©
On the hardware, it's all GOTOs
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

The duality of linuxmemes and linuxsucks strikes again. π
Holy hell that /c is a dumpster fire
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
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!
For any people from the future who may be here, this is the only mention of the framework, from what I can see, so far.
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
I don't speak no computer only ungabunga.
I don't speak no computer
So you speak computer?
Is there any other obscure programming language than haskell though?
Are lisps obscure?
Idris is the obscure version of Haskell
Nix. The idea behind it is excellent, but the language sucks.
I'm sure my skills in Linden Scripting Language from my time on SL way back in the day might come in handy someday...
