also in my headcanon: the universal translator is making aliens look a little more humanoid, so that we can read their "facial" "expressions" etc. irl when it looks like they're smiling, they're actually emitting sulphur or something (which has the equivalent communication function of a "smile" in their bioculture).

@zkat Also, I realize you were mostly joking, so I apologize if my response is too serious. :)

@zkat I can't speak to others, but my main aversion to IDEs is the need to use too many of them. They're all a little different, each with unique bugs (I had one that couldn't even keep the cursor aligned with the text insertion point). I work in the embedded space and am writing code at a variety of levels and for various runtimes. It's helpful to have a consistent experience when writing and reading code etc. I tend to just use the IDEs to set up projects and compile them. :/

I wonder if print debugging would be more acceptable if we just called it "logging". Everybody likes appropriate logging, right? :thonking:
"Let me just add more logging to this routine."
Anyway, I have no qualms with print debugging. Most of the things I am debugging occur live on a complicated system that needs to keep running, I have limited access, and I can't just set a breakpoint and poke around. So I "print" things to a log for analyzing later.
Use what works.

Conversely: Mamsir, we have rust-analyzer, just go ahead and complete the types. The ones people typically have trouble writing are the ones rustc can't just infer for you anyway (generic constraints/params, dynamics), so I guess this whole argument is moot to me anyway.

Which isn't to say rust shouldn't be usable without an IDE, but seriously, our development tools are a critical part of our development experience already and we can't just pretend they're not already doing a ton for us.

My perspective for anyone who says inferring these, even just at a module level, is a bad idea:
Sir, we have rust-analyzer.
And yes, languages like Rust ultimately are usable because of IDE/reporter support. It's fine to lean on this imo

RT @ekuber@twitter.com
While shit posting, it dawned on me: Rust doesn't do inference in fn signatures because of possible bugs, ease of analysis and how big of a semver foot gun it would be. But if the fn is crate private, then the last problem is not a consideration.
