2025-08-31 16:52:42 +0200 <muhib59> my initial idea was to build a library that doesn't loan books. but in reality i want to sell english anthologies stealing ideas from my english degree university library X) O:3

2025-08-31 16:41:44 +0200 <muhib59> Yes I love discrete maths. Wanted to learn everything in it for a while. Do you know if there is any discrete maths research anywhere? O:3

2025-08-31 16:34:51 +0200 <sajenim> have you guys done discrete maths? i'm doing it rn and absolutely love it
2025-08-31 16:34:17 +0200 <merijn> Not to say you shouldn't, but if it's for money, then you gotta figure out why anyone would pay you instead of any of the others. And if it's for learning, you gotta figure out if that sparks joy]
2025-08-31 16:33:37 +0200 <merijn> I mean, there's about a billion of those already :p
2025-08-31 16:33:10 +0200 <muhib59> yeah i am a OOP person because I had a fantastic teacher for that course. Could make a JAVA OOP e commerce website for money. Would that be a good idea?
2025-08-31 16:32:53 +0200 <sajenim> at community college we did python c# and java
2025-08-31 16:32:37 +0200 <sajenim> nah, just whilst learning, i wouldn't follow through with getting proficient at it
2025-08-31 16:32:03 +0200 <__monty__> Windows users?
2025-08-31 16:31:46 +0200 <sajenim> i personally preferred c# though
2025-08-31 16:31:00 +0200 <sajenim> and the teacher was industry that was less bad
2025-08-31 16:30:51 +0200 <sajenim> i think part of why it was suffering is my teacher is an academic, i did java before
2025-08-31 16:30:19 +0200 <merijn> Java the code wirtten by other people on the other hand...

2025-08-31 16:30:12 +0200 <muhib59> Looking forward to Google Summer of Code this time. I never knew I would be exposed to so much knowledge online through IRC O:3
2025-08-31 16:30:06 +0200 <merijn> tbh, Java the language is not so bad

2025-08-31 16:28:23 +0200 <sajenim> julia looks interesting
2025-08-31 16:27:44 +0200 <muhib59> Actually I am a OOP person, love it so much that I quit it and started haskell

2025-08-31 16:26:50 +0200 <sajenim> it's like a wall of vomit
2025-08-31 16:26:42 +0200 <sajenim> i started with haskell as my first real language, just did oop with java this trimester and hated it
2025-08-31 16:26:10 +0200 <__monty__> Haskell would probably not be as good a fit. I assume you went over OOP, Haskell doesn't facilitate that at all.
2025-08-31 16:25:42 +0200 <muhib59> too expansive maybe, need to learn it with teachers later on. =D I left my cs degree before I could look at Julia, it was a flabbergasting surprise when I saw its code

2025-08-31 16:24:50 +0200 <sajenim> i would have loved to have seen haskell for that class
2025-08-31 16:24:46 +0200 <merijn> It's one of the languages I hate the least
2025-08-31 16:24:32 +0200 <merijn> sajenim: It's not Haskell, but it's ok
2025-08-31 16:23:51 +0200 <sajenim> that's the language our school teaches for 'programming paradigms'
2025-08-31 16:23:03 +0200 <sajenim> opinions on scala?
2025-08-31 16:22:53 +0200muhib59(~muhib@37.111.214.12)
2025-08-31 16:19:21 +0200 <muhib> on a personal note. might change if I master it. actually i see haskell as a gift from my first degree.
2025-08-31 16:17:52 +0200 <__monty__> I'd recommend not holding anything sacred. Use whatever's the best tool for the job.
2025-08-31 16:17:20 +0200 <__monty__> An IDE seems like a big task and an unnecessary distraction if what you're interested in is OS dev.
