wtf kind of cursed programming language is this? JS? it's so ugly, in no universe should a function look like that
but obviously as a rust enjoyer i have to do it like
undefined

fn max ⟨T: PartialOrd + Copy⟩(nums: ⁊[T]) -> Option⟨T⟩ { let mut greatest: ⁊T = ⁊nums[0]; match nums.len() { 0 => None, 1 => Some(*greatest), _ => { for num in nums { if num > greatest { greatest = num; } } Some(*greatest) } } }
edit: lemmy formatting REALLY hates references and generics it seems... time to go back to medieval times
- Ah yes, rust. The language that somehow manages to manages to as verbose as possible, with as much jargonized shorthand that a computer could handle.
  
  Exactly, I don't understand why languages have decided that every keyword needs to be as randomly minified as possible. fn, def, rune(ok that's not minified, just a dumb name), fmt, std. Many of these things aren't new, but programmers recognize descriptive variable names are important, the same should be true for keywords.
- Wow that's a very exhausting language. I dropped your code into an online rust to asm converter and it actually wasn't more! I did try to post it for fun but lemmy kept messing up the code block. Oh well, wasn't that amusing anyway!
  
  lol that's not actually how rust is written, it was just a joke
  it'd really be written
  undefined
  
  if x > y { x } else { y }
  
  Hah thanks for clarifying. I was joking too and it's a shame I couldn't post the results.
  Though I admit i don't know anything about rust. I'm sure I'd like it better than the proprietary garbage i use now that just gets converted to ASM / PLC code in the end. But I can't skip the middle man. I'm not gonna try but probably 30mins for me to "write" the above.
  Besides, how do you make money if I can code something in an hour as opposed to 2 days?
- Isn't it php?
