and that's before even touching on the compilation steps they can add, which are a pluggable codegen and macro system that is also integrated into IDEs, which is completely missing from almost every other language.

I never had a device+apps that really made use of anything but "back" and "home" and... while I kinda like the idea, they're just not usable in most screens in most apps. The current three buttons (well. previous,

given this is in a thread about simplicity: I think "dozens/hundreds of new features a year" speaks for itself why it's a problem. but Apple (and Windows) nowadays reeks of promotion-driven development. ship a new featu

not being in osx development any more: is custom UI no longer possible at all, or is it just significantly easier to go with the flow? though I have seen settings sections that are simply a "launch the actual config" button. but

not changing working code to prevent issues is unsafe. we can go in circles all day with blanket statements that are all true. but we have ample evidence that even if we think some real-world C code is safe, it is often not because hum

yeah, I mean `toUpper(string)` exists in basically every language and it's equally cursed. it's nothing even slightly new, just another sigh-inducer when you see people using it.

I've generally found quite a lot of success at abandoning goals / "destinations" for most things, and focusing on the "journey": don't aim to "be fit" or reach a specific weight. aim to "do

this is roughly equivalent to saying "we don't pay import tariffs, importers do". it may be technically correct, but it still impacts individual costs/income at pretty much exactly the same amount, because the costs are

"it exists as a niche feature that few use and fewer understand" isn't exactly "mainstream" IMO (it's significantly less common from what I've seen than manual classloader shenanigans, for example). But y

tbh none of that sounds particularly bad, nor do I think capabilities are necessary (but obviously useful). we could literally just take Go and categorize on "imports risky package" and we'd have a better situation than we ha

when I was doing C# pre-nuget we had an utterly absurd amount of libraries that nobody had checked and nobody ever upgraded. so... yeah I think it applies there too, at least from my experience. I do agree that C is an especially-bad case

yea, just look at the state of many C projects. it's rather clearly worse in practice in aggregate. should it be higher friction than npm? probably yes. a permissions system would inherently add a bit (leftpad includes 27 libraries w

I'm rather convinced that the next major language-feature wave will be permissions for libraries. It's painfully clear that we're well past the point where it's needed. I didn't think it'll make things perfect

it has been a rockier history than that - it was playable at E3 in 2019, and there have been multiple teased (but not specific) release dates along the way. e.g. the Wikipedia has some of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
