The only difference between programming and games is that games have win conditions. But if programming languages were games, which would be which?

Haskell isn’t really that hard to learn. It’s just changing the paradigm, that takes a mind shift for the first two weeks, maybe a month.

I don’t play games that much to make such comparisons, though.

Swift is open source, I don’t get the “lesson in corporate greed” angle.

Don’t worry, the artist probably doesn’t, either.

I mean, this is cringe AF.

Kotlin ‘built by communism’? Because the founders of JB are Russian? Is that it?

Swift is ‘greed’ how? It’s open source since 2015 or so; & available on Linux. Apple’s graphical toolkits are ‘closed down’; & obviously restrict users’ freedoms; though not sure how that implies ‘monopoly’. ‘Monopoly’ would be trying to dominate all toolkits, not have one’s own.

Vague word associations are cool, I guess.

Appropriately enough, there’s a Java port of Doom.

And also a line printer port of Doom.

I don’t know if I’m joking, because that list leaves out everything relying on the Java port, beacuse there’s too many. So… Maybe in the printer, and maybe not.
