I have to say, I really like the concept behind this. May be another tool for parsing strings I have besides Python.

Even simpler is repeat 10 { }
} just stands for done.
I don’t think we do have a difference in opinion. What I’m saying is that some apps are done with many years of development, and in those case, C++ will likely be the only realistic option because it is way more time-consuming to switch. For example, Krita. I do agree that when there’s a choice, C++ is less relevant these day.
C++ is still used for some popular applications, and it still is the only realistic option for these ones. I think there should be more Domain-Specific Languages. I want one for vector graphics like G’MIC is for raster graphics.
I been meaning to learn Ruby to get around using Python. I like Ruby syntax better.
This is great, even though if I code in Python, I’m not using it for performance reason, but for convenience.
It’s a bit of a pain to finish, but I’m basically working on creating an array of numbers to assist in sorting unicode characters, and I’m making string processing commands for the G’MIC scripting language. So, that means by hand, I have to sort hundreds of thousands of characters, and I sorted tens of thousands of them already. I already did string_permutations and you can find string_permutations at index or find index which that permutation can be found. However those commands needs the array of numbers for an additional sorting option I’ll do.
I kind of like it. I can understand where it start and end.
Chances are there’s probably something similar to dictionary in Python in your languages or at least it’s a import/#include away. Although I don’t use general programming languages at all, in my used language (G’MIC), I do something like dict$var=input
where $var
is a defined variable, and this way I can access input by doing ${dict$var}
and that’s similar to Python dictionary. In C++, there’s hash table implementation out there via github. That being said, there are sometimes when you don’t need a hashtable dependent on the hashmap, and sometimes, it’s just as simple as basic mathematics to access data.
Seems like a good idea, I’m hoping that the syntax is sane. As far as languages goes, I think you’re missing out on G’MIC to compare as it does have things like FFT and other tools all for image processing which is just part of digital signal processing. And then, there’s Python with libraries and so on.
This is what I prefer too! I also some times prefer to use bitshift when it comes to division or multiplication of power of 2.
I only stick with these:
Easy.
For raster graphics image processing, I’d highly recommend G’MIC. Otherwise, Python and especially for string using regex library. I wish there was a vector graphics version of G’MIC.
I only do raster graphics image processing, so G’MIC it is. A entire coding language and it’s a library in of by itself for that.
On non-DSL, don’t have a fave. I’ll choose one of these: Python, C++, C#.
Every languages has their own pitfalls. The answer on picking a language is to pick whatever works for you. There may be even domain-specific languages if you’re interested in a domain, and it can be way more flexible than general-purpose solutions for that domain too.
I use 4 languages.
Paint.NET
). Kinda similar purpose to what I do with G’MIC, except so much more limited.Now, I wish there was a vector equivalent to G’MIC, but there isn’t.
Also, highlighted the way you expect when you click next to braces works too.
Here’s my opinion, a well-developed DSL could even be arguably more flexible than say Python even with existing libraries on their specific domains. So, if one is just limited to domains, they may be very well be preferable to general languages.
I have coded in C#, Python, C++, and currently nearly everyday, G’MIC. Which one of those are a DSL? The last one. What it is? It’s a Domain-Specific Language that has been geared toward raster graphics image processing. Why do I use it? Looking at the stack-based processing, commands, built-in mathematical functions. It seems that it has a lot more things that are built-in than say Pillow library for Python and other things. And I only do create images with code, so I am happy with this, and I even did things like Python itertools combinatorics with more things like rank2list/list2rank variation of those combinatorics which aren’t image processing by themselves, but can aid to it.
If I feel that it is way too limited for that Domain, then I wouldn’t use it. DSLs are only good if the other options are much more difficult to build with and their flexibility are often enough to entice their audience which is one with limited use cases. Of course, generic languages are usually better even than most DSL even within their domains because of wider support, and wider audience. More DSLs would be better than generics given enough time and support for their domains in my opinion.
From some one who used Python as it was the easiest solution to few of my problems, and having to experience languages with brackets and/or endif/fi/done as ways to limit scope, I find that having things like brackets and/or scope terminators easier to parse and less error-prone. I’m thinking about moving on to Ruby whenever I had a need where Python would be a good choice, but the time it takes for me to understand a new language is blocking me from that.
Well, artists would disagree on that point, and I do agree with the artist. I do think ML at this current state and near future do have a limit. I can’t see ML doing anything complicated in 3D like a CAD automobile.
This. I’m coding to contribute to a open-source software with very small amount of coders, and with a non-mainstream Domain-Specific Language. A lot of the code I did before has been proven to work from times to time, but they all could benefit from better outputs and better GUI. So, I end up reengineering the entire and that’ll take a really long time, however, I do a lot of tests to ensure it works.
