Star /prog/ Movies

So I heard that Lucas is producing some new movies, a kind of isomorphism against Star Wars. The titles are:

Ep.I: The Haskell Menance;
Ep.II: Attack of the Sussmans;
Ep.III: The revenge of Frozen Void;
Ep.IV: A New Troll;
Ep.V: Sepples strikes back;
Ep.VI The return of the Haxus.

...and here it seems we have a trailer for Episode V:

gTFO. YOUR THREAD SUCKS. i REPORTED IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT RELATED TO PROGRAMMING.

>>2
WELL I REPORTED YOU FOR BEING A POOPIE HEAD!

>>2
How is a thread linking to an article with famous programmers confirming that Sepples is rubbish, not related to programming?
>>3
Why did I lol?

that was more interesting to read than i expected.
sepples is a funny language.
everybody who has never done any programming before thinks it's excellent, but most people with programming experience seem to hate it.

>>5

like java, just opposite

You know, whenever someone comes up to me and tells me "sepples is a powerful language." I immediately know that he's either a C++ expert or some newb whose mental immortality was lost long ago and now he's a thinking zombie(1). Here's how: C++ IS a powerful language. Yeah, objects, you all know, templates and then something that is turing complete. Visually, C++ is a mess. Semantically, C++ is a mess (These are preconditions, not the even argument itself, ie don't argue about this because I won't bother with you). Yes, C++ is powerful. C++ programming is not. Or, in other words, in theory, much can be done with C++, but in practise, you'll find people who can't put everything together AND make it good, to the point mathematically-unchecked programs are de facto and patches are preferred to proofs. Is C++ powerful? Yes it is. The difference between my answer and yours lies in the person answering (and in case you're too thick, I'm talking about (1)).

>>5
IMHO that's because
1. C is good;
2. Bjarne Stroustrup is (or was) known as a good programmer;

This gave C++ a good reputation from beginning, and for that reason a lot of project managers (and equally awful uman beings) required the applications written in C++, increasing the (undeserved) good reputation.

In the meanwhile real programmers, the one who are actually writing code, noticed that the programming language SUCKS A LOT OF HUGE AND JUICY COCKS.
Unfortunately nobody listened to them, since code monkeys, who actually works without saying Data Centric, Gantt chart or Use Case, are not very interesting.

>>8
gTFO POOF.

>>9
your'are double gay

1. Go to wikipedia.
2. Search for "sepples".
3. （　≖‿≖）

ha ha, oh wow http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/9803/sepples.png

Okay guys, which /prog/rider is this?

BAAW BAAW YOU'RE TRYING TO UNDERMINE ME, YOU HAVE BEEN BANISHED FROM MY HAPPY LAND LIKE KEN THOMPSON

>>15
The truth behind Sepples' terrible! syntax uncovered! Bjarne unable to spell own name! More at 11.

>>15
s/HAPPY LAND/GOLDEN LAND/

Could /prog/ create a better C-with-objects language?

I think the first thing we should add to C is native BBCode support.

>>17
うー　うー

>>18
It's called -v "C++"

>>18
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    bbcode x = b <<< i <<< o <<< u <<< "EXPERT PROGRAMMER";
    printf("%b\n", x);
    return 0;
}
Output:
EXPERT PROGRAMMER

>>19
An incantation to always be friends with Mama ;;

>>21
Let's see you printing expert programmer with that.

>>23
duh, I meant expert programmer

>>16
its not a easy name , dont blame him .

>>21
    bbcode x = b <<< i <<< o <<< u <<< "EXPERT PROGRAMMER";
<<<
I don't think so, Bjarne.

>>24
bbcode b = b <<< (u <<< "expert" +++ "programmer);
Where <<< has higher precedence than +++.

>>27
This is not Haskell.

#define EXPERT(x) [b][i][u](x)[/u][/i][/b]

Sepples doesn't seem to bad to me.
Then again, I only make toy programs with it.

>>30
Kinda like why some crazy people like Haskell!
I read that "confusing parts" guide today. Do you guys rhyme it with "rascal?" I always thought it was "ask Elle" because of the people writing HASKAL here.

>>31
You're the only one who does that.

>>32
If there was even a single place elsewhere on the internet where Haskell was taken seriously^*, I might know better!

*^{And considering how much of a joke it is on /prog/, I think you see what I mean.}

"ask Elle"?
What the fuck?

>>31
I read that the other day, it was a piece of shit tbh

>>35
Seriously. not even any brownie points for trying to explain moand.s

>>33
You must take into consideration that /prog/ is full of Lispers, so jokes about Haskell should be taken with a grain of salt.

>>36
Monads aren't so bad (or more likely I don't actually understand them ;), but what helped me was YAHT along with http://www.haskell.org/all_about_monads/html/analogy.html and http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html YMMV

>>38
I was read monad tutorials so many times, that i can write one myself. But i still don't get it.

>>39
I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you can use the existing Monads you're probably fine.
