@Floydimus @Stuxnet it's a quote from 1984. I don't see why to quote it, but just fyi

There are always exceptions to the rule, but the generation who is too lazy to call malloc() is too lazy to read books... -
odite46895yQuote from 1984.
Maybe a comment on tech? Vaguely? I'm trying to salvage a reason for this one. -
odite46895y@Floydimus If you're genuinely unaware of the book, It's really good. It's what created the term "Big Brother" when referring to mass surveillance.
Orwell is the shit. -
@FuckJava not really... https://pewresearch.org/fact-tank/...
Also, I must say (probably just because of my age) that I don't think that using garbage collected languages is bad. Is using a self driven car bad? Having a tool and insisting on not using it is just being stubborn. I don't say low level programming is bad but don't use the wrong tool to a problem you can solve in a simple way -
The level of bullshit "I wanna be woke so badly" radiating from this one is AIDS inducing.

@hubiruchi
Good analogy. When self driven cars become better in driving than men (or women for that matter), then they are not bad. It's like automatic gearbox. Before DSG, automatic gearboxes were not efficient...
GC is not evil. Programmers losing grasp of memory is. GC does that to wanna-be-programmers. Their code executes, they think they are God, they develop something that runs poorly, not because it uses GC, but because they don't understand GC -
