minus maybe java

Never used or learnt it but still having to maintain half a century old code in COBOL is a shame

All programming languages are utter garbage

COBOL is not supposed to fail, which C does

everything in COBOL is declared static, thus memory errors generally do not happen

i mean cant you just do that with c

or any other lang with a const feature

For example look at the PIC clause, 9(10) means 10 digits, you can never change it

>float
lol

cobol uses fixed point arithmetic which doesn’t fuck up the numbers in the smallest digits

i mean you can prolly implement some bigdecimal scheme like java has

what matters most is the programmers and hardware not the lang it self

i guess cobol wins on the latter

Do you think a mainframe that is less powerful than a modern laptop would be able to run a demanding task on the JVM

no im saying you can implement bigdecimal on c

no point tho

I said fixed point, bigdecimal is obscenely slow

on c itll be fast 😎

anyhow, any scheme would be technically possible, its just not worthwile doing

like the fortran LA library, just cuz of that it will never die

what’s this

linear algebra

c has a equivalent but the fortran one was been user tested for so long its unlikely anything can match the reliability

Thanks I will do that

In case this is news, it might not be, but gremlins/libxml2 appears to lack at least xmlIOFTPRead, preventing normal use

systemd

dinit,so werid that no one choose

no

s/uses/supports/g

why this program twinkle？

other program not

COMRADE XI IS VERY NOT PROUD OF YOU

He’s referring to F the language

It’s the subset of FORTRAN that’s actually good

YOU MUST BOW DOWN TO MAO’S STATUE IMMEDIATELY
