if someone doesn't have experience with arrays, then they don't have enough experience with programming to hire them to program for you. they are still on page 9 of the programming book
@foone Pedant point: there have been some rather popular historic languages that eschewed arrays as we know them for "associative arrays", like Mumps, AWK, and PHP.

@foone now the qualifications for this job are pretty stringent, we're gonna need you to have used a keyboard before.

when i reached 50 skills on linkedin i was told that this was the limit. (most of those proposed by others)
So be careful what you announce as skill.
but handling sequences in programming isn't a skill, it is elementary.

@foone but do you know Keyboard (input device)?
@h5e I have heard that there once genuinely was a young man from Japan who didn't know that keyboards existed, and became a proficient programmer of one of the early game consoles, possibly first-generation Famicom, by using the on-screen entry mechanism that came as a demo with some devkit.
And then, he got his hands on a keyboard.

@foone I’m pretty sure I had that book
@JSMuellerRoemer @foone same here.

You laugh but I joined an org once where because passing arrays to functions required handling references they instead used big CSV strings in 99% of cases. Drove me insane.

@foone Boy not only do I have worked with arrays, I also have extensive experience both pressing and releasing (!) keys on business workstation keyboards. Am I hired?

@foone Doesn't Lua use only dictionaries for data structures? IIRC, its "arrays" are just dictionaries indexed by integers.

@foone I get redirected to the German site with no option to switch pack (the 404 references a non-existent dropdown menu…)
@JSMuellerRoemer @foone See above https://social.tchncs.de/@flxtr/116186768953309522, worked for me, need to switch via the currency selector.

@foone Unfortunately links goes to 404

well I mean... the first coding language I learned was Matlab, and it had matrices. I think even the 3D versions of these were just called matrices. Later on it had structs, which were nested matrices. And at some point I stumbled on cell arrays, which were like structs but different. Or something. Maybe 3D matrices were called "arrays."
Anyhoo, eventually I found my way to other languages that did have things called "arrays" (might've been PHP was the first of those.)

Arrays are a slick gateway drug.
You haven't lived until you've met a well endowed hashtable...
