03:10:42 <lament> HERE LIES LESTER MOORE
03:10:42 <lament> SHOT 4 TIMES WITH A .44
03:10:42 <lament> NO LES
03:10:42 <lament> NO MOORE
03:10:42 <lament> -- tombstone, in Tombstone, AZ
03:11:06 <Taaus> Pretty.
03:13:24 <Taaus> Hmm... Is it normal to feel like clobbering yourself to death when you're programming in C?
03:14:18 <lament> ask in #C
03:14:25 <lament> i'm sure the answer will be "yes"
03:14:31 <Taaus> :/
03:14:54 <lament> well, i don't know really
03:14:56 <lament> C isn't malicious
03:15:10 <lament> unlike some other languages, it doesn't actually want you to go insane
03:15:22 <Taaus> It's forcing me to write unsafe code. As far as I can see, anyway.
03:15:57 <Taaus> You mean insanity is just a nice bonus? :)
03:17:22 <lament> is it really unsafe?
03:17:42 <Taaus> Well, it's potentially unsafe.
03:17:54 <Taaus> I'm forced to use casting.
03:18:27 <lament> oh no!!!!
03:18:37 <Taaus> Indeed. That was my reaction.
03:19:44 <lament> In a well designed C program, you don't need casting.
03:19:52 <lament> In a well designed C program, there's only one data type.
03:20:10 <Taaus> What, char? :)
03:20:19 <lament> void
03:20:35 <Taaus> Eh.
03:20:46 <Taaus> That's just sick :)
03:36:24 <lament> more languages should have a void datatype
03:39:47 <Taaus> Why?
03:39:54 <lament> Why not?
03:40:19 <Taaus> Because it's unnecessary?
03:40:26 <lament> how so?
03:41:20 <Taaus> Explain to me how a language with no void datatype would benefit from having one.
03:50:44 <lament> religious significance.
03:51:01 <lament> And it sounds really cool.
03:51:14 <Taaus> Mmmkay... I think that's my cue to head off to bed. :)
03:51:19 <lament> you could Cast thinsg Unto The Void
03:52:18 <lament> java's Object is pretty much void, actually
