I am not married to any particular language’s syntax choices but sure if we want to play “make it feel like C++”:
std::cpp26::string a : std::cpp26::make_unique( std::cpp26::string{} );
I could try and pass it through a number of iostreams or a to_array conversion to see if I can push a to_string() in somewhere…
String a: new String()
That’s the part we have to combat. The idea that being a fan of something means any contribution you do to the fandom has to be treated as essentially unpaid workforce for the franchise. In truth, it’s nothing in the fact that you are a fan, but rather the fact that the thing you are a fan of is defended by some of the vilest scume of the earth (lawyers) that is a problem.
Down with copyright law!
Nothing in any of those three words precludes payment (it’s work after all) but it’s still notoriously scummy. A donation jar would make far more sense.
To who?
To the IP licensors? Nah. Pass. Prefer piracy.
To the creators? Arguably much better.
How to control intermediaries in those cases?
Also payment processor information usually requires KYC crap and puts people in lots of danger of fire from trigger-happy companies (or governments).
