If you want to set a variable to an object reference, you need to use the Set statement. If you want to set a variable to a scalar value, you need to *not* use the Set statement. Why. Just why.

This isn't new and it isn't limited to online spaces. People have been choosing whether or not to associate with each other for millennia.

I will say I rarely block or unfollow people.

I generally reserve blocking only for those who do ugly malicious things like trolling, deception, or hate.

I have occasionally unfollowed people because, although they're good people, they've made a habit of posting things my stress-ravaged mind can't handle. But only occasionally.

The damn documentation doesn't even say what the type of each property is! Nor the return types of built-in functions and methods. Apparently I have to freaking guess. You've got to be kidding me.

Eric Raymond may call them “bondage-and-discipline languages” http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/bondage-and-discipline-language.html but languages like Rust don't let anyone get away with this nonsense. Not even the authors of the standard library.

Side note: I hereby petition…uh, everyone, I guess, to rename dynamic typing to “chaotic typing”. Because this crap is total chaos. And APIs in dynamically-typed languages always seem to be like this. #programming
