If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be? (lemm.ee)

Haha. I'm sure they're joking.

But probably because you chose two languages with relatively scary syntax.

I don't know how to create automation to summon extraplanar nightmare creatures, but if I had to start, my first attempt would be PHP, and I know in my heart that getting it working would require C++.

@DallE@lemmings.world An extraplanar nightmare creature being summoned by writing a code that is mixture of php and C++.

Here's your image!

The AI model has revised your prompt: A terrifying creature from another dimension is being summoned. This is happening through a unique and unusual method, which combines elements of computer coding. The person initiating the summoning is dynamically typing a hybrid language that merges the syntax and functions of two popular programming languages, PHP and C++. The scene is imbued with a supernatural feel as ethereal lights emanate from the lines of code, giving a clue that this is not ordinary programming but something arcane and otherworldly.

5 stars, would summon with an unholy mix of C++ and PHP again.

Oh my gosh, that's fantastic!

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heh, fair enough!

Relatively scary syntax is is nicely said. :)

Php is absolutely scary.

Have you used modern PHP with its ecosystem and frameworks? It's actually really solid, and really good at what it aims to do.
