Yes, every language/framework is good at something and bad at some other. They are just tools. What matters is what one builds. A lot of technical news these days are about tools, not products.
- cubano 11y agoSure, I can run with that analogy. So a master woodcarver works with chisels, his "tools", for his entire life...30 years, and with them he turns bare wood into incredible works that the world recognizes as valuable art. Someone hands him a chainsaw, which by all measurable metrics should allow him to do the work 10x faster because, of course, it is more powerful, modern, and designed by "superior minds" whom understand IC engines, gearing, etc etc. Does it? And should he switch?
- pcunite 11y agoI think what I want for Christmas is a language with C syntax and keywords, no header files, no GC, ships with a library that has everything (threads, http, websockts, crypto). This new language takes all the bad parts of C and throws them away and does not care about backwards capability. Call this new language C++ or whatever.
- i507244 11y agoYes, of course. Chainsaws are an ideal tool for large scale wood carving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJ9t3jIBjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJ9t3jIBjA
