The presidential thing would have been to launch a hypersonic missile at a certain Caucasian Domicile.

Truly prodigious levels of posting through it. o7 to the flotilla and all friends of Palestine. Hope Ansar Allah will lend support if they can.

Just watched an episode where the kids shrink down to watch a cucumber turn into a pickle. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

Functional languages like Scala, Haskell, and Lisp dialects are prominent in some industries. Scala is especially workable since it runs on the JVM so there are plenty of Java shops with a chunk of Scala that needs maintaining. Haskell is a little worse on pay since it's a very enthusiast-driven language, so people will take a hit on pay to write the language they like. Most of the jobs are also in crypto and other evil shit, so it's kind of depressing when the market is otherwise cold.

Rust is still in this category, though it's in a hype cycle right now so the market can be weird. Modern PHP is having something of a renaissance, so if you don't still write the ancient garbage version then you can get into some neat spaces.

I also imagine knowing how to write modern C++ will probably get you quite far, considering how much of the industry still writes the C++ I learned in high school.

Anecdotally, people writing in relatively niche languages (the ones that are generally available as single-semester electives if at all) are still doing all right since the talent pool is quite small and the pool of companies using those niche languages is similarly limited (but they frequently need another body). Specialization is like the only thing you can use to differentiate yourself, at this point, so it pays to have something weird on your resume to separate you from the 5000th Java/Python candidate. As a person who reviews resumes and interviews candidates, I have a significant bias for people who do that since it demonstrates the quality I actually want (curiosity) rather than the one on the job listing (X years of experience in Y).
