  • Use a keyword, it’ll make your life a lot easier for parsing. If you’re reluctant on using “enum” as a keyword, you should check out OCaml/ML’s “type” keyword (they are the exact same contept: ADTs, but rust weirdly associates them with enums)

    Don’t use magic strings! Not only is this hard to check for errors while writing code, you also can’t tell easily if it is a normal string, or an enum.

    In my old project, my syntax looked like this:

    // Flavour and vec of ingredients
    type Food[T] {
      | Pizza str, vec[T]
      | Cake str, vec[T]
      | Soup vec[T]
    }
    

    not only is this easy to parse, i’d say it sticks true to its ML roots. You should check odin’s enum syntax if you’re keen on making a unique syntax.












  • Many can’t buy indexes as you said. I love the idea of them, but they’re just too damn expensive. On amazon (we have no official shipping in my country) they cost 10,000 RIYALS. That’s about ~3-4000 USD. No thanks, i’d do fine without VR then. and the mq 3 is about 3,000 riyals, or less than 1,000 dollars.

    ALVR is pretty okish. Last time i tried it it was very buggy. But that was a long time ago, i don’t know how it is now. Last time i checked i couldn’t use wivrn, but i’ll try it now, thanks




  • The ability to stream media from legit paid sources. (Netflix, Comcast, max, disneyplus, prime, I don’t know where the list is currently, but anything that bitches about user agent.)

    I thought all you needed was browser DRM to run those? Idk, I don’t use streaming services 🏴‍☠️

    And Isn’t TPM supported on Linux? It’s been in the kernel since 3.20, no?

    As for anti cheat, it’s a bitch to deal with, I agree. Same with HDMI,I think DP is superior but people should have freedom to make their one choices.

    And the rest? Idk. I use a web browser for all online things, from mail, to banking; so it doesn’t matter whether I’m on Linux or not.

    You raise some great points though. The average user isn’t going to use workarounds or alternatives, so we should focus on actually solving the problem instead of saying use this instead.

    I also tried setting up a VFIO machine for lack of good VR support (oculus🙄) and I cannot see a normal user doing that (Tbf it’s Meta’s fault, not Linux. But I think it still ties into my argument)

    And I heard basically everything except ardour and LMMS are broken or buggy on Linux (I’m no composer so I could be wrong)

    God, I wish I could permanently use Linux (NixOS❤️) but it’s just not ready yet.

    And don’t even get me started on NVIDIA 🥲
