to any rightoids, bigots, or descriptor whatever is more insulting to you
if you come across my profile, then I wish you a very merry go fuck yourself, I really don't want you here, I'll stay with the "degenerates" who believe such sinful things as "all people deserve rights"
once again, fuck off

@coolboymew@shitposter.club a brain so large no human body can contain it

@matrix@gameliberty.club well for some languages it's also the fact you can't as easily implement a basic type within the language without having it be slower, not the case for the specific cases of C and Pascal but def the case for some other languages

@matrix@gameliberty.club often times those end up being slower than floats or ints, and being poorly maintained tho
also the langs I'd find fixed point numbers most useful for would be C and Pascal on more limited hardware like GameBoy, MCUs, or old systems like DOS, don't really have package managers there

@matrix@gameliberty.club ngl, actually disappointed most modern langs don't have fixed point numbers, they'd actually be pretty damn useful for a bunch of stuff

@torvalds@social.kernel.org GNU Emacs and EVim (Vim in non-modal mode) come to mind for highly configurable keyboard-driven editors

@a1ba@suya.place CPython treats all breaking changes in the stdlib as a bug when not in the major release tho

@a1ba@suya.place the last major release was 3.0 tho, everything since was a minor release, thus any breaking changes are a bug
