The suggestions are also deprecated
Or don’t support all the features
I feel like in android, the alternatives are always soooo long and tedious to implement
Rust afaik does that too
PHP does that. I think a few others too.
Or maybe it was my IDE. I don't remember. Not a issue I deal with frequently.
My assumption is that php itself is deprecated so they don't bother with warnings.
What if the suggestions have warnings like "experimental" or "unstable"?
This is me right now, constantly thinking about how to implement a thing I'm working on. Even in bed I wake up and think about it. Lols.
I had to make a function called mysql_query() to get some old code back online. Twist the knife for me.
I just like usleep better than nanosleep.
