Spent lots of effort to get names for my kids that avoid this. Swedish/French. It’s harder than it sounds.

In France I know a Maia, in Sweden a Maja!

I want the char 8 that makes a beep.

The DA (art director) had this exact Tshirt when I did video games in Paris around 2005, he flashed it on unknown people sitting beside them (from under his sweater) in the metro to our amusement.

Fun times.

Sorry I insulted your favourite programming language lol.

The truth hurts the most.

Now you are doing it again, you just say generic sensible stuff strawman way.

Like yeah I know about “the assignment operator” and it’s still shitty you can’t decide what it’s copying. You explaining how it works doesn’t make it better lol!

You are also blatantly wrong, there is absolutely no reason to not let you copy a class or pass an int as a ref “because of the garbage collector”, if you want to make a language having these functionalities there is nothing preventing it to be done correctly.

Also c# is an inefficient language to begin with, not letting the user do as he pleases is just dumbing things down, nothing to do with efficiency.

Also, we all have tons of experience (5 years xp isn’t experienced btw) no need to go get your diploma :-)

And another straw man, when did I say that a language is better than another? Never did I do that, but I guess you are not happy with all your arguments geting shot down.

C# is a crap language, if you are forced to use it like at work, or if you don’t want to learn another one, use it!

But you can’t polish a turd.

After the constructor?

No need for a destructir bc smart pointers?

Man you does not make any sense.

Well no because if you allocate stuff in the constructor, you are going to write a destructor now, freeing that allocated stuff up / closing that socket, pipe whatever etc.

Right?

Right??

Well yes, except when you allocate stuff in the constructor.

Maia who?

Yeah but what about those at 7.2v or 12v or 17.8v?

Also maybe I’ll save someones life with that old 100MB Zip drive (and power block)!

In C++ you have the choice, the compiler makes the shallow copy (you know what that is right?) automatically if needed, or you can move around the pointer or a ref. Or, transform the shallow copy into a deep copy if you need that.

In c# you don’t even not have the choice, ints etc gets copied but classes aren’t. Where’s the logic behind that?

And as so many others you scramble to find some excuse that “you should probably not do that very often anyways” or some other bullshit.

I heard all that 20 years ago when it actually had some merit for people trying to run it on the old crappy hardware of the day, today it’s just moot.

Need speed or low memory usage? Learn to code in C/C++ for example. Heard Rust is great too.

C# is just an old wonky language.

/Rant off

No need to declare it though ofc.

Rule of 0/3/5

.Equals and == has different meanings? Like === in php or is it javascript 😅

If you don’t see the problem with reassignment/pointer walking, then you are just too used to it to notice that it is total shit, how do you even copy the data from an instance of a class to another… Or are you “not supposed to do that”? If so, okay, but then c# is a ‘simple’ language, a script language like python or php.

Also when you have a class A, make an instance isn’t:

A a;

I mean wtf…

To each their own I guess :-) !

AliExpress (if you are not the person thiking you can get a 4TB SSD for 20€) is great.

It started off as a “for people” Alibaba.com and I have bought lots of quality stuff there including a phone, circuits, tools (not the best but they will probably outlive me), 3D printer stuff etc etc.

Temu is like wish, just crap.

Wood on concrete 🥳!

It’s a single =

a = 5;

b = c;

And hell, “use .Equal” is exactly what it is all about, have you heard of == ?

Back in the day all the big languages were hard to learn and had lots of quirks, but somehow C/C++ moved on and became quite simple and elegant (you can write the worst trash with it ofc. but that’s like saying you shouldn’t cook because you might burn your chicken). C# not so much.

We didn’t convert you though?

C# is such a crappy language.

You can’t even do a=b if they are classes, and you’re forced down the chosen road all the time. It’s like java all over.
