The code snippet is in F#. And F# has so called "computation expressions".

To me it's crazy how many people work on these seemingly simple applications. How many people do you need to build JUST the native Android and iOS app for snapchat? Is the "single" codebase really worth all the added complexi

Excellent Points, this is where the answer is "it depends". > What do you put in the common core? Android does HTTP requests one way. iOS does them another way. You go for the lowest common denominator an implement a third way,

Agreed. One extra clarification: If the quality of your app is business critical you should really use the native UI toolkit to offer the best platform integration and user experience. If your app is not business critical (you just have to

Just write 2 native UIs in the 2 platform native languages and share a common core written in any language that offers a C like FFI. How hard could it be?

How does it render pixel data to the terminal? I've stumbled over sixels [1], but movy seems to use something else that also enables color output and a higher resolution? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel E

I don't have any sleep issues as long as I stick to a simple rule: No caffeine after 15:00.

Cool project!

Yes, that would be even better - but also way harder for unit tests as you’d need to interop between the langauges.

Zig would be my go to language for low level stuff. I think fact that Zig can be used as a C/C++ cross compiler is brilliant.

What on earth do they need this kind of money for?

Nice! Had to look twice at the author name. Thanks for all the Avalonia related work you are doing!

I agree. Most things that got added are good. I don’t like that there are 3+ ways of checking if a value is null tho.

Yeah - I worked on an F# project that was ~300K LoC and tooling speed really becomes an issue at that point.

OCaml does not have what you'd call I fully featured GUI framework to my knowledge (besides rendering webpages). F# has FuncUI - based on Avalonia. All just possible because of the ecosystem. https://github.com/fsprojec

Did you try F# in JetBrains Rider? It's the best F# tooling you can buy IMO.

by JaggerJo 1y ago
DarkLang which was initially written in OCaml eventually switched to F#. From what I remember the main reasons were the library ecosystem and concurrency. I'm know .NET in and out, so I might be biased. Most of the boring parts have mu

Yea, I’d pair it with a contrasting band. Or maybe with one that adds another accent. True. It might be just me but I think the color makes it look cheap.

by JaggerJo 1y ago
I really like the silver. Red and Blue are IMO not needed as you can always add an accent using the band. Probably just makes everything more complicated.

Just buy a Rider license. Never looked back.

Because a LLM architecture seems way too fuzzy and unpredictable for something that should be reproducible.

Yes, this is scary.

Same, tried Claud code over the past month. Let it do different tasks. It’s useful as an built-in quick docs / search that can spit out small code fragments. Every time I gave it more space results were disappointing.

REST almost never is worth it. It’s a nice idea, but in practice things often are more complicated. API quality is often not relevant to the business after it passes the “mostly works” bar. I’ll just use plain http or RPC when it’s not impo

I really like fly.io, but you’d need to provide more information about the kind of backend and the expected load. Also what does it currently cost? I host a few sites on fly for pennies, but they don’t see a lot of traffic.

Hah, I'm not so sure about what happens during automatic notarisation. Sideloading would at least allow JIT compilation. The fee only applies to alternative app stores, not simple apps.
