Interesting site, I bet it won't last more than 20 more years. I've been both right and wrong about long term predictions often enough that I've learned to just stop caring about it. (But I am right in this case.)

Not using a variable is the same as flying out your car window? It's more like the cashier smacks a peanut out of your hand saying you'll get fat.

I tried Scala a long time ago, and although I don't remember much about it, I do remember that it felt like Perl for Java. If that's accurate, then it may not have syntactical complexity, but only because it moves that complexity

I am exploring this area in a pet project, because some part of me has always been absolutely confident that we can do better than both vdom and custom compilers. So far, I have made really exciting progress, though it has never been mo

Are these not also true for Node.js? Add the familiarity of JavaScript, the ecosystem of NPM, and the good-enough speed of V8, and I'm not sure why choose Go.

by 90s_dev 1y ago
Theoretically, it's basically a faster Node.js. Case in point, TypeScript is moving from Node.js to Go for a 10x speed increase. But in reality, TypeScript is probably its only legitimate use-case, and only because it already had very

In other words, /^.+?@.+$/ is a user-friendly reminder that you forgot the @ sign or something. That's all.
