Kotlin is type inference failed. The value of the type parameter K should be mentioned in input types
Go is unused variable
Rust is Compiling term v0.1.0 (/home/james/projects/Term)
- C++ is std::__cxx11::list<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0>, std::allocator<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0> > >::erase(std::_List_const_iterator<std::__shared_ptr<table, (__gnu_cxx::_Lock_policy)0> >) /usr/include/c++/12/bits/list.tcc:158
  
  I once forgot to put curly braces around the thing I was adding into a hashmap. If I remember correctly it was like ~300 lines of error code, non of which said "Wrong shit inside the function call ma dude".
  
  The only reason to use AI in programming is to simplify C++ error messages.
- Rust is downloading 1546 dependencies
  
  Crates aren't exactly runtime dependencies, so i think that's fine as long as the 1500+ dependencies actually help prevent reinventing the wheel 1500+ times
  
  I'll happily download 63928 depends so long as it continues to work. And it does, unlike python projects that also download 2352 depends but in the process brick every other python program on your system
  
  If you're not using a venv for python development, that's kind of on you
  
  Venv is the way
  
  Good for you. Not all of us have terabytes of free space on our computers.
- If you're naming variables like that in Java you should definitely switch to C.
  
  fixed ive using rust for a while
