@Demolishun For a positive, I do occasionally enjoy scripting the ever living shit out of Blender.
-
@Liebranca I prefer Snek when writing scripts in Linux. Don't much care for bash.
-
@Demolishun Yeah, bash is better suited for one-liners, piping shit and all that. Snake tongue isn't all that bad for shell stuff, but I'm more of a demonic possession perl enthusiast. Here, let me demonstrate:
print join "\n",(grep {$_=~ qr"^[^\.]+$"} @ARGV),"\n";
How in the besmirched name of holeless fuck this infernal speech is preferred over *anything* else... ah, we'll leave that as an excercise for the reader ;> -
@Hazarth If you're serious, then so I am. Promise to share it and we have a deal.
-
@Liebranca I took one look at Perl files at a previous employer and just said: "nope". I stayed far away.
-
@Demolishun Perl is both the most flexible and illegible shit I've ever worked with, and the absolute best at text processing. I've written preprocessors with it in one sitting, and just like a repeat offender, I __will__ do it again.
-
@jestdotty Elaborate.
-
@Liebranca You make my boolean true, my int overflow, and my float a NaN...
-
@Demolishun You smash my stack!
-
@Liebranca why your stack size 69MB?
-
@Demolishun I needed more space for long longs.
-
@jestdotty Pretty please? :c
I could write a fucking dissertation on why snek is objectively a piece of shit, together with all your favorite dumbass collections of syntactic diarrhea full of needless operators and toothless fucking conventions that make no sense in retrospect.
By that I mean to say among all of it's real world uses the foremost is screwing yourself, which is analogous to utilizing the fine hands of a classically trained violinist for virtuous masturbation. And you cannot fix it, you can only Keep It Solemnly Sucking.
Now I'm not saying that if they were humans their lot in life would be to get down on their knees and passionately blow me until my eyes pop out. All I'm saying is their lot in life IS to get DOWN and passionately BLOW me until my eyes pop out, to which the general scientific consensus is indeed yes, it is, and they absolutely should.
But back to commanding the demons trapped inside the sillicon and all the existing ways to to do so being terrible half-assed abortions that serve as a perfect encapsulation and prime example of mankind's greatest shame and failures. If I had to volcanically ejaculate for each time I heard a thorough and perfectly valid critique of insert flavor of fucking stupid, I'd be long-rotting dead from dehydration.
You think that's funny? A man just died creaming in his pants and we are all wiser for it, show some respect. Some people simply do not understand the value of humility, and I will be *proud* to anally humble them for it, free of charge.
Anytime, I swear, ANYTIME that I come back to a language I fucking hate and I'm immediately reminded of why I do everything in my power to avoid it, I invariably come out with the feeling that it wasn't quite as bad as the last time.
THAT is how I measure my progress: still swimming in a sea of deeply decolored and fermenting alien reptile excretion -- but I'm a much better swimmer. This isn't so bad, I may even ignore the burning desire to kill myself next time.
But I'm so blinded by your plump fucking tits that I can't even remember what was my point, I may have just delivered the verbal equivalent of complete mental castration. Again.
