When the interviewer gets mad you're using macros, just let them know automation is the future and they'll quickly change their minds

[@BicheTordue]

Does that append often ? i didn’t think dev would be against macros

[@scylk]

@@BicheTordue there's a lot of dev out there against anything they don't know

[@mettaursp309]

​@@BicheTordue Depends on the language, because the way each language handles them is likely going to be different. In a language like C++, especially modern C++, it's going to be heavily frowned upon for a few reasons: - Macros don't respect namespaces, which means they can overwrite things that you might not want them to. A common counter practice is using uncommon, often ugly naming conventions to reduce chances of name clashes. - Macros do dumb search + replace, which can introduce hidden side effects depending on the structure of the macro. Such side effects include rapid ballooning of code size (think min/max macros), hidden esoteric syntax use that breaks in some situations, doesn't tell you when name clashes happen unless it breaks syntax conformity. - Macros don't restrict the types of syntax use they can hide, so in order to figure out what a certain complex macro can do you often have to substitute it into the code by hand. - Editors like Visual Studio don't handle macros very well. The macro definitions don't get syntax highlighting or intellisense because there is no sensible way to do it. Visual Studio also fails to report errors in the correct places for more complex interconnected macro structures. - Most of the things you can do with macros can also be done with newer modern C++ features. These new features may often be esoteric or ugly, but they don't have any of the draw backs listed above because they have first class support and have been carefully and meticulously combed over and ironed out by a committee. Some of the few remaining things you cannot do with standard C++ syntax to my knowledge are: stringification of code, implicitly capturing types of values up the stack without explicitly initializing it by hand. Here's an example of how the previous macro technique can be used for something like reflection: making a lambda with a macro in a member function and capturing the type of the parent class with 'decltype(*this)', useful for computing member offsets and storing statically #define Bind_Member(member) #member, [] () -> int { decltype(this) base = nullptr; return int(&base->member); } MemberRegistry { Bind_Member(memberName) }; // makes a 'MemberRegistry' instance with initialization list '{ "memberName", memberName offset computing lambda }' In an ideal world standard C++ syntax would be able to do everything that preprocessor macros can. Edit: looking through the comment section more I'm realizing that people are talking more about editor macros. I'd say the first two points still apply a lot depending on how you can twist them. Before you make large, sweeping changes to a code base with automation you should really make sure that you know 100% exactly what it is that you are doing, and everything that can go wrong. It's super easy to nuke a code base by not being careful with automation tools.

[@frankzheng6838]

since Haskell is such a high level language, it actually compiles your O(n) algorithm to O(1)

[@DanCojocaru2000]

Honestly, that makes sense and it's a logical optimization. All the strings in the list are constant, the separator is constant, and the base case for the join function is just one of its parameters. Therefore, there's nothing that can go wrong with evaluating that at compile time. Damn.

It's almost as if Vim is a heaping pile of trash. And also you'll find that the #1 question about Vim, far far more popular than other questions, is "how do I exit vim?". I pity Vim users like I pity Atom IDE users. Atomheads try to sell me the idea that their bloated pile of dog vomit is efficient and cool. Mmm who doesn't love microstutters every second and minute long executions of code mm. But hey, if it works for you, cool, just don't be religious about it.
