I’m just a student; the way I was taught, getters and setters are for when it is reasonable that getting or setting something might require some kind of hooks in the future, for calculating something derived, or converting the type, or maybe something with a database in it. I agree though, introducing getters and setters without that is stupid.

thanks, TrollAccount69, that’s genuinely what I thought too!

Not doing fun Maths exercises often enough erodes my desire to do start fun Math exercises. I don’t use AI tho

Obviously the best reason is because of its really cool type system, especially enums with stuff in them and borrowing.

Also Tris ‘No Boilerplate’ Oaten got me into programming some random stuff in Rust, which is a very cool language because it has enums and a type system and a distinction between borrowing an object via a pointer and giving it over via a pointer (really sucks to implement a lisp in C because it doesn’t have this, or at least it requires new C experience I don’t have that borrow checking elegantly replaces)

Also you might read https://browser.engineering/ or you might read https://wayland-book.com/ to implement what browser engineering does while importing less other peoples code, or watch Handmade Hero, though I haven’t personally gotten very far on that.

I get very motivated to program things in pointless sandboxes, like ComputerCraft, Fancade, Logo (programming language), Geometry Dash. This might train my brain and teach me some basic concepts like SoA vs AoS (fancade, but accidentally), network architecture (ComputerCraft), but I’m also not really sure what to do for relevant reality topics.

I also do codegolf.stackexchange.com which has some pretty cool challenges.

I fundamentally don’t understand being a script kiddie (scripts from other people) because my number two Pain Causing Learning Activity is using other peoples libraries (after University Writing Projects), but I share the want/need discrepancy between how much I want to learn and how much might be good for me if I just got started.
