Odin Programming Language

I’m learning the Odin programming language. By default, when you save your source code the LSP reformats your code to the Odin recommended style. OK. I don’t love it when languages come with highly opinionated programming styles but I can learn to swallow my bile when it does things like replace my spaces with tabs. But then it goes and does this:

What kind of un-gohly fucking terrorist aligns the case conditions with the switch?

Isn’t Odin Finnish? You have your answer

That’s exactly why I try to stay far away from python.

EDIT

That indentation style is unacceptable to my OCB.

Damn straight.

Plus computer don’t care about neat placement. Syntax is another matter, that’s the madness of language/OS designers.

He has no time for fun. Fun just depreciates your assets.

I remember reading about Franklin advocating continuous learning throughout the day, wasting not a minute, even while eating and pooping. I took up the habit myself while quite young after reading that, perhaps around age 7.

DDGAI:
"Benjamin Franklin also strongly advocated for lifelong learning and self-improvement. He believed in making the most of every moment to pursue knowledge, often engaging in reading while performing other activities. Franklin famously emphasized the pursuit of education as a key to personal development and societal progress. He created various initiatives, such as libraries and educational institutions, reflecting his commitment to continuous learning.

"Franklin’s approach to learning was holistic, encouraging people to educate themselves in various fields, including science, philosophy, and public affairs, often memorably saying, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn.” This illustrates his belief in active e"ngagement and constant personal growth.

Agree with the above, of course . . .

Benjamin Franklin’s Views on Fun and Enjoyment
Emphasis on Enjoyment

Benjamin Franklin believed in the importance of enjoying life. He often expressed that leisure and fun were essential for a balanced life. His famous saying, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise,” reflects his belief in a disciplined life that also allows for enjoyment.
Social Activities

Franklin was known for his social gatherings and entertaining. He hosted “electrical picnics” where guests participated in fun experiments with electricity. These events were not only educational but also served as a way to socialize and enjoy each other’s company.
Humor and Wit

Franklin had a sharp sense of humor, which he often incorporated into his writings. He published satirical pieces, such as “Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress,” showcasing his playful side. His use of pseudonyms, like Silence Dogood, allowed him to express his wit and engage with the public in a lighthearted manner.
Contributions to Leisure

Franklin founded several institutions that promoted community and leisure, including the first volunteer fire department and the Library Company of Philadelphia. These organizations encouraged social interaction and community engagement, reflecting his belief in the value of fun and camaraderie.

In summary, Franklin valued fun as a vital part of life, promoting social activities, humor, and community engagement throughout his endeavors.
