@prologic I’d say: Yes, because in Go it’s easier to ignore errors.

We’re talking about this pattern, right?

f, err := os.Open("filename.ext")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

Nothing stops you from leaving out the if, right? 🤔
@movq I'm feeling SO dumb right now 😅 I used to think !! was a sudo argument and never used it out of that context! Thanks for the $(!!) tip 🤘
(Of course, if we’re talking about a project you’re doing for a customer and the customer keeps asking for new stuff, then you’re never done, and you have to think ahead and expect changes. Is that what they mean? 🤔)

Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.
Okay, here’s a thing I like about Rust: Returning things as Option and error handling. (Or the more complex Result, but it’s easier to explain with Option.)

fn mydiv(num: f64, denom: f64) -> Option {
// (Let’s ignore precision issues for a second.)
if denom 0.0 {
return None;
} else {
return Some(num / denom);
}
}

fn main() {
// Explicit, verbose version:
let num: f64 = 123.0;
let denom: f64 = 456.0;
let wrapped_res = mydiv(num, denom);
if wrapped_res.is_some() {
println!("Unwrapped result: {}", wrapped_res.unwrap());
}

// Shorter version using "if let":
if let Some(res) = mydiv(123.0, 456.0) {
println!("Here’s a result: {}", res);
}

if let Some(res) = mydiv(123.0, 0.0) {
println!("Huh, we divided by zero? This never happens. {}", res);
}
}

You can’t divide by zero, so the function returns an “error” in that case. (Option isn’t really used for errors, IIUC, but the basic idea is the same for Result.)

`Option` is an enum. It can have the value Some or None. In the case of Some, *you can attach additional data* to the enum. In this case, we are attaching a floating point value.

The caller then has to decide: Is the value None or Some? Did the function succeed or not? If it is Some, the caller can do .unwrap() on this enum to get the inner value (the floating point value). If you do .unwrap() on a None value, the program will panic and die.

The if let version using destructuring is much shorter and, once you got used to it, actually quite nice.

Now the trick is that you *must* somehow handle these two cases. You *must* either call something like .unwrap() or do destructuring or something, otherwise you can’t access the attached value at all. As I understand it, it is impossible to just completely ignore error cases. And *the compiler enforces it*.

(In case of Result, the compiler would warn you if you ignore the return value entirely. So something like doing write() and then ignoring the return value would be caught as well.)

We really are bouncing back and forth between flat UIs and beveled UIs. I mean, this is what old X11 programs looked like:

@kat I might give it a shot. 😃

Skimming through the manual: I had no idea that keeping the “up” cursor pressed actually slows you down at some point. 🤦
@aelaraji I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. 👌

FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:

$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt

$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.

Yep!

@lyse Yeah, YMMV. Some games work(ed) great in Wine, others not at all. I just use it because it’s easier than firing up my WinXP box. (I don’t use Wine for regular applications, just games.)
