"I haven’t listened to the interview so I honestly don’t know if the quote is taken out of context or not"
WTF? -1 for not trying.
There's a panel discussion with:
Erik Meijer (misc, head of Cloud Programmability Team at Microsoft)
Gilad Bracha (Dart)
Martin Odersky (most recently Scala)
Anders Hejlsberg (Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C# etc)
Peter Alvaro (researcher e.g. datalog)
And some ungooglable twerp doesn't actually listen to it?
Argument from authority seems spot-on when you're replying to something they said.
Make that -2
- roopeshv 14y agoin all fairness, that sentence is said more like a passing comment and not a discussion topic
- willvarfar 14y agoI posted the original to reddit/r/javascript so I've got a point to defend ;) In the video, they do talk about tooling, IDEs, auto-completion, libraries, dynamic types, and so on. Refactoring tools come up repeatedly. So you can build up a richer context to the reasoning. There's even discussion about reasoning about systems made from components running on different machines, which is not far from what this Derek chap responds with as his perceived solution. Its not all tightly packed into a sound-bite.
