Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.
Its still better than any python project lol
Really? I find python imports to work very similar to cpp in practice.
But you really dont see what the function wants or requires or returns ( except with typehints, but they dont work most of the time and then its not enforced in any way )
Correct! As i already contributing to a big ass python project at work. We will rewrite a Big Project from python to c# in under 1 month.
Isnt that already default on all variables? Its like a var(in js)?
Nope, was added to dot Net after the fact. Normally you declare each type by hand, e.g.
ArrayList<int> myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();
vs
var myCoolList = new ArrayList<int>();
The second example is why the keyword was added, but now imagine you have a function call returning an unknown type, and then things will start to get super funky.
E.g.
var myCoolBook = BuildBookData(input);
…one step forward and then the same step back 😂 (disclaimer: I do actually like C#, though)
Ahh you mean the implementation of var in other langauges than python, i missunderstood you there! Yeah var is a bit risky to use in that case, same i like c# too! Its pretty reliable and stable.
The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.
