(programming.dev)
Hello!
This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.
The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:
This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.
Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.
This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.
This is the right place for posts like the following:
See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples
You mentioned stuff built in the shop so...
Programming is a winter activity for me. Summer is for being on the water and in the shop. I used to use my boat trailer as a general cargo hauler, so I needed a way to get the boat on and off the trailer. To that end, I built a platform at trailer height that I could use to store the boat.
Now I have a proper pickup truck, so I've converted that boat stand to a cutting station. The large surface area is good for sheet goods. I installed a lowered platform for my mitre saw. It works like a charm and keeps the worst of the dust out of my shop. Now the only indoor power tools are my bandsaw and drill press, which are trivial to collect dust from. Next up are cabinet stands for those tools and a new workbench.
Back to programming, my winter plans are to finally figure out a workflow to keep Charm up to date so I can play with it (I'm new to git). Then start tracking down free or inexpensive resources to study programming language theory.
