Personally, I would like to see LINQ query syntax and LINQ method syntax separated too. Because I find method syntax very useful (for simple or linear-spread-cascading queries), but I find query syntax hard to read and reason. Even worse so when it introduces variables. I don't want to see it anywhere in my projects. But method syntax has clear reasoning borders and I enjoy using it (up to a certain query complexity).

Do we list it in both categories then? Query languages and scripting languages?
I agree in principle, I would often prefer descriptions over comparisons (as a reader/discoverer).
But I believe that these comparisons work. And they work well. Otherwise they wouldn't be and still be so prevalent.
Usually they are comparisons / relations to very popular titles. If people know those titles, they immediately get a representation and imaginary picture of what the game is about.
A more direct description requires interpretation and creativity to assess, understand, and imagine.
I personally think it's better, and can spark better and more personal interest (e.g. from the example "cozy" and "power washing"). But regularly seeing comparisons tells me many others don't.
They're going Rogue-like!
They wrote they're using . as placeholder commit messages.
I use f for such [f]ollowup/[f]ixup commits, and a for [a]dditional code/components/changesets. Both keys are trivial to enter. When cleaning it up after, f commits are typically squashed into previous ones, and a commits get a description and/or serve as a base for squashing.
I can see . working well as well, but having a more obvious character (with vertical height/substance) seems preferable.
You don't see the point of making use of shortcuts?
It's just them with shortcuts, they didn't see the point of m

Would Nushell qualify as a query language?
- jq vs Nushell syntax docs
At the same time, it's a scripting and programming language. Statements and commands are chained to query data.
From what I can read in this thread, we had a discussion. We didn't complain [to or about users]. We reasoned and speculated on what is happening and the effects of it.
The only one complaining directly and strongly is you. Telling us we shouldn't be complaining.
I also wasn’t aware of the survey at all and wonder how people even know about it.
The StackOverflow gave a notification. IIRC they sent out emails as well. It was shared on Lemmy too.
I don't find the results that questionable at all. Feels like you have a strong niche bias. Which is fine, as long as you don't assume you know better than a global survey on a popular industry platform.
There could be bias, but I don't see it being that big. Microsoft is very popular in the enterprise field.
I'm not sure how you read a fault claim from their comment.
You can say the UI doesn't support the mechanics of Lemmy, which is true. But that doesn't change how the mechanics work.
Voting is curation. Communities theme topics. Voting for personal curation in an all feed is contrary to the shared nature of posts.
