A Rant on Terra (2019)
- getpost 4y agoI had a hard time understanding this article with phrases like, "However, with great power comes ~~great responsibility~~ undecidable type systems, whose undefined behavior may involve summoning eldritch abominations from the Black Abyss of Rěgne Ūt." I was pleased so see that Bard accepts URLs, so I asked it to summarize it. Here's Bard's summary: The author of the article, Erik McClure, rants about Terra, a metaprogramming language. He argues that Terra is not well-documented, that it does not work well on Windows, and that it is not as good as other metaprogramming languages. He also claims that Terra is not a good choice for writing production code, as it is not as stable as other languages. Overall, the author is not a fan of Terra. He believes that there are better options available for metaprogramming.

- mkehrt 4y agoWhy do you believe Bard accurately summarized the article?
- getpost 4y agoI didn't say it did. I posted the reply that I got, which did slightly improve my motivation to read the article.
- ajkjk 4y agoI liked it. Fun prose makes it enjoyable to read about something I wouldn't otherwise care about.
