I think the actual argument was "C/C++ is not great, but others are worse". :) Pretty much all languages have handy OS API calls, usually a lot more portable than C/C++ - so that's not a compelling reason. Yet someh

Yes, the point was "from now on", as a clean break from the past without giving up legacy code.

Bartosz, Haskell was created 23 years ago, before Java. What is the reason it did not catch on yet? Will that change? I'm not aware of any even mildly successful system that uses pure functional languages. Most of the implementations

It's not that black and white. Scala has the same debate - there are a couple constructs only library writers use (normally). So they compile the library with "enable all". Everybody else gets a warning and they refactor the

7900 req/sec is on my laptop, first try without optimization - and we will need a lot more. I know Disqus can serve up to 1M/server and they try to patch the Linux kernel to reach 2M. (Not exactly apples to apples since I use SQL

Is there any company / product that uses it? (serious question) I heard good things about many other "nice" languages, just nobody saw them in the wild, actually doing something useful...

We're in production with Scala since 2010 and for that use case it worked out pretty good. Not enjoying the GC at all, it is by far the biggest issue. Also keeping an eye on Go and D, but not yet committed.

How CLR ninja skills are better than C++ ninja skills? Both might kill average developers. The named C# implementation came from .NET experts and an army of consultants from Microsoft. The final advice was "yes, C# is easier to develop

Not an easy read for C++ fans like me, especially since it is coming from Bartosz Milewski. I did try out several other languages and I keep coming back to C++11 for anything that requires scalability and raw performance, like APIs. The sam

Both CLang and GCC have "C++11 compatibility" switch, so it's a matter of a compiler parameter if they accept or not the new standard. I would introduce a "backward compatibility" switch that has to be turned ON per

No, it is about marking up the data (HTML) with labels that have a representation described in the CSS. So the HTML should say "this is important" (em) while the CSS is free to define "important" as bold, different color

TrueCrypt would work too - it has block level encryption and Drobox syncs on block level too.

Yes, it can happen with BSD and MIT. But at least you can start a fork from there, if you really have to. Forking LGPL stays LGPL, with the limitations & all.

It depends on the use case. Sometimes you need performance or there are other constraints, in which case your choice of language is very limited. Automated memory management works, but not all the time. And how about other resources? How yo

Since it has deterministic destructor and RAII is easy to implement, garbage collector is not needed. It works not only with memory allocation, but any other resource you need to release: mutex, serial port, window handle, file handle etc.

Both CppDB and ODB are abstraction layers between your code and SQL (Postgres, mySQL etc). ODB is somewhat closer to ORM. CppDB uses MIT or BSD license (you pick), ODB is under LGPL or commercial license.

I really like the fact that Linux is GPL, the license served the community well. For large, stand alone apps it makes sense. On the other hand I try to avoid GPL/LGPL for components. Here is a scenario: 1. Invest in developing your app
