I noticed this Lemmy instance didn’t have a general programmers community, so i decided to create one aimed at discussing programming more in general.
Wether you’re a senior or junior dev, C user or Javascript user, everyone into programming is welcome here, the only rules to follow (so far) are the same ones used by this instance.
Hello :D
I’m currently a Computer Science Student on my second year who mainly does programming for fun atm
Hey there, I’m Herzenschein. I had no formal education in IT, I’m a translator originally. I work with software documentation involving open source Qt apps now, so I get to read quite a bit of C++ code. I get pretty hyped at modern C++ features, and I dabble a bit in Perl and Python.
I’m Vincent! (That’s my fursona’s name, anyway – sorry but you’re not getting my real one.) I was initially trained on Python, which I’m still quite fond of, but Rust has been my weapon of choice for several years now. Absolutely loving how fast it is.
My current project is a desktop e621 client that supports several search features the site doesn’t, like searching for one of two tags but not both, searching for one or more of these AND one or more of these, etc. In order to support these features, I do not use the e621 API for searching – instead I download a CSV dump of the entire e621 database from https://e621.net/db_export/, load it into RAM, and run the searches locally on the user’s machine. Using the excellent

crate for headache-free parallelism, on the 5700X in my Thinkpad E15 (yeah, I know, E series Thinkpad 🤢) I can search all 4 million posts in around 80 milliseconds. That’s still a lot slower than I’d like, but it’s a helluva lot faster than I could get if I was writing this in, say, Java.Relatedly, since I wanted this application to have Flash support, I’m now working on a crate allowing you to embed a Ruffle player as a widget inside egui.
Hey there, I’m Gandhi. I write Java in my freetime, discord bots, well as other open source projects like “, RipperCurse”, a program that downloads curseforge Minecraft modpacks for linux
I’ll start by introducing myself: I’m Crax, and i work as a graphics programmer at a game development company located in Italy. I have been using C++ for the past 10 years, and i have been a huge Rust aficionado since 2018. Right now i’m studying the Vulkan API by implementing a smallish 3D renderer (which i hopefully plan to turn into my goto framework for studying graphics programming).
You can see my personal projects on my Github
I just program in-so-far as I like modding games so I have learned C, C#, C++ and Java. I know enough to make my own programs or even a game; but not enough to do so entirely from scratch unless it was just a simple text-adventure (when I get to the point in my books where it starts going into how to draw shapes and stuff directly with code, my head explodes because I’m not wired for math 😵💫). Definitely still want to learn, but I haven’t had success on my own and I don’t have money for school. I like these communities because I do enjoy coding even if I’m not super adept at it.
Hello! I’m Bluefox. I’m mostly a C/C++ programmer, but dabble in Java because school makes me. I also have an interest in COBOL, Pascal, and Fortran, but haven’t had the time to study them. Been attempting to code or fiddle with code at least since I was 8 or 9, and now I study it. Hoping to do research work with programming in the future.
so what i’m hearing is that you’re a programmer with a hobby in archaeology
