> I will also defend "naked imports" as a feature that works very well with the rest of the language: functions are disambiguated by signature and not just name and so conflicts scarcely occur (and simply force qualification wh

You're completely right, but believe it or not Nim 1.6 actually doesn't manage to connect the dots between `1` and it being a possible `float`, `int64`, etc.. Even if you wanted a different size integer literal you'd have to

You've linked to Zig vs. Rust, which really should be outperforming Rust. The grandparent was talking about how Nim seems to be doing terribly.

by 59nadir 3y ago
There are a lot of features in Nim that are basically the polar opposite to Zig's values; macros/templates as opposed to comptime which has no real capability of just inserting random code and the very pervasive naked imports (fun

Considering C++ is almost impossible to write reliably good tools for it's entirely possible that LS for C++ is simply not very good and that with languages that can reliably provide a good LS experience you'd view this differentl

In the past month I've had to use Discord search to find something important twice. Both times it took 20+ minutes and when I actually found the results I noticed that I typed things that ought to have given me the results but just did

I'm impressed by how incredibly low your bar for trying is. It's on par with "There were too many parentheses".

Surely Illumos? Solaris is probably dead to most people involved, a husk of what it was and could have been.

What does this actually mean? They are both programming languages made for solving general problems, what makes the comparison inappropriate? I've used both and pretty much all of their cousins, so I'm confused why you would think

Better write it like `Val< <> >` otherwise the parser will get confused.

JetBrains have excellent offerings for both JavaScript and Python, in my opinion. I happen to like Neovim and I don't use the languages you have issues with the Neovim side of, but if I were to use an alternative it would definitely be

I've found that one of the best ways to dismantle an overblown ego is to play StarCraft (Brood War or SC2, the result will be the same) or really any other 1v1 game. The direct feeling of being beaten, potentially overrun completely, t

I keep seeing friends who run Wayland have embarrassing issues with global hotkeys, screen sharing, etc., and I'm running X11 with a default config and standard drivers without literally any issue. I too don't see the point in swi

I think I'll take my graphics libraries from companies that have actually done something with them and know what they should look like.

I wouldn't say that the outcome is necessarily the same all the time, but the getting-nothing-of-any-value-done architect seems to be a common occurrence. We had one that by proxy stopped development on at least 3 projects I was suppos

Same for me. I suspect maybe they add the public keys manually and haven't gotten around to it yet.

I think Elixir is a bad example here because it's one of the eco systems that, while they preach "Use a function if you can!" very loudly, use macros much more heavily than other eco systems, often in places where they don&#x

I think there have been a few posts pointing out that the ergonomics around using just pointers in Rust is lacking severely in comparison to languages like Zig and Odin.

by 59nadir 3y ago
I think your comment would've been better received if you maybe phrased it as a question that encouraged some discourse. "Do people really feel like languages and systems that enforce immutability help them? I'd be interested

I found it really funny, it actually made me laugh out loud. It seemed very deliberate to me, though, so that's why. Edit: To clarify, I think DHH would probably laugh at this as well, which is why I feel it's not so much laughing

To be fair to the original argument, I think it's important to understand that there is next to no Rust code in comparison to the amount of C++ code out there. It has almost no projects in comparison, and those projects are much, much

In a non-trivial amount of cases I think this incessant adding of features to paper over old mistakes or fill gaps is actually counter-productive and turns into users having to learn several things instead of the intended situation where yo

It's not only about newbies in the end. When I started learning C++ back in ~2000 the semi-joke was that "C++ takes about 10 years to learn". The language is far bigger now, with more things you either need to know to cut out

Later Super Contra was released in Europe as Super Probotector instead and was reworked to have robots as playable characters instead of soldiers.

I appreciate that this is a glass half full or empty kind of situation, but I tend to see "fast" setups actually simply not doing a bunch of the mostly unnecessary stuff that other solutions are doing. This is especially true fo

I think in popular parlance the terminology comes from the "What color is your function?" article[0]. The idea is that "normal" and async functions are different colors and they don't mix. When you call an async fun
