There's always the rolling release route, which I have been happily running for 4+ years without any issues.

@7 I see this point repeated often without further clarification, what exactly is more buggy? I can tell you from personal experience that with a reasonably modern Linux distro, my laptop works out of the box without any problems and I&#x27

I am using SoftMaker Office 2016, ( http://www.softmaker.com/en/softmaker-office-linux ) on my Linux box and it works great for collaborating on MS Office documents - preserves formatting and everything else without a pr

For a broader overview of Stuxnet and the surrounding situation, I would recommend the book "Countdown to Zero Day" - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0770436196

That doesn't mean sticking with the status-quo is the solution. Rust certainly looks like a better starting point for modern, safe low-level programming than C. C served us quite well for over 40 years, but perhaps it's time to mo

> Obviously my emotional venting is not the strong part of my argument. The fact that you haven't provided any actual, technical reason why "Fuck Rust" is perhaps another part of the puzzle.

The parent actually said "Rust or pretty much anything else", which means any memory safe language. It just happens that Rust came to his/her mind as the first choice probably because it's been talked a lot about lately

I agree that some stronger regulation may be needed, but applying a broad "punish for a bug" strategy will have terrible effects for our industry as it will lead to a stagnation in innovation and a reluctancy to experiment. (We ca

Nim ( http://nim-lang.org ), is a language in some ways filling a similar niche to Go and they are suitable for games, because you can tune or even change the GC. Not the case with Go, so may be less suitable for soft real-time li

I'm a final year undergrad with a real passion for programming using modern, well-designed languages like Rust, Swift or Elixir and I enjoy it so much that I spend most of my free time contributing to open-source. Lately however, I&#x2

Suggestion: It may be a good idea to show line numbers in the code samples, since the compiler error messages, discussed in the text, refer to them quite extensibly.

Appreciate you responding so quickly! I certainly understand the appeal of whitespace if you're coming from Python or Haskell etc. just wanted to point out that it might not be for everybody. As for the web development focus, I would c

I like the potential of the game, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. I saw it as a Myst-style game, where you have puzzles, but you also have a lot of interactive environment around you to explore. Here, I was getting taken it by a

Great to see Nim getting an official book, (Dominick is almost like a co-author of Nim at this point :-). My impression of Nim is that it is what Go should have been, if language developments of the past 40 years were taken into account, so

It's not their IDE, but I agree that it is excellent.

As a member of the Rust community, I value your opinion, however I am not at all sure where you've observed the above described behaviour. The Rust community is the first one I joined without fears of being put down by the community b

Firefox is not the only thing that Mozilla does that is worth supporting. Their Mozilla Research projects, like Daala, Rust and Servo, are really neat and I believe deserve support, so I don't want Mozilla to go away. It is however tr

I'm not sure if the Intellij Go Plugin is going to be made into a separate IDE, but it's already available for their other IDEs as a plugin and they have a team improving it constantly. Notably, it also works with their open-sourc

How's the memory-safety model in D without a GC, last time I looked at it, it seemed to me that C++ 11/14 has the better model here and now with the C++ core guidelines, it may be even better.
