[ale] flip flopping on programming, now interested in c++

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Wolf, thanks for the info on Chatzilla. I think that will do nicely as a cross platform IRC solution for me at the moment, since I have Firefox running everywhere. Er, except on my Android tablet. I'll have to look elsewhere for that. Firefox on Android is not nearly as sophisticated as Dolphin, so I'll have to look into the options for that.

Leam, thanks for the info on IRC that you posted and the references to the C++ group on freenode.

I was able to access and observe the group for a while in Chatzilla. I didn't try to post anything.

This looks like a good way to get and share information. It also looks like it could be a terrible time sink, watching the screen all day.

It also looks like what Twitter sounds like it would look like. I haven't tried Twitter yet.

Sincerely,

Ron

Hmm. If whitespace shouldn't be significant, it's presumably because you value some unusual use of whitespace.


But saying one should know how to format one's code is to imply that there's some obviously proper way to do it that one should know.


Then why have braces, in that case, since the formatting already disambiguates the sybtax?

The thing I don't like about python, is the forced formatting.

If you don't format your code properly, you shouldn't be writing code.
