Modern smartphones just aren't really good gaming platforms. That's sad though, because all that computing power could support good games, but most of the mobile games are quite boring. Compare this to 2004-2006 period when Java g

This aligns well with my experience. Maintaining even medium-sized projects in Python, Javascript and PHP has been a very frustrating experience. In practice, nobody ever writes detailed comments or tests (well, not tests that test for type

Why are we so masochistic? We invent bad languages, they spread everywhere like plague and then we're like "hey, let's create an overlay language to hide the hideousness". It's insane.
