it was slightly different: Anybody who wanted to try implementing a gil-less python could. The reasons of the status-quo were well explained. We only get hand-waving from the Go core devs.

It works like this because most investors prefer winning 100x their investment 1% of the time. Business angel are a bit different but VCs really think that way.

cx_freeze just package python apps so you can distribute them like native apps, that is without requiring the installation of the python interpreter. It doesn't impact performance. Performance oriented pythonners go with pypy, numpy,

Epic might disagree, the UnrealEngine is heavily scriptable. This was one of its major selling points in the last generation. I have a huge respect for Carmack but some other people prooved him wrong in the past. His opinions are often take

In the company I work for, it is mandatory. 1 or 2 hours per week. Choose your subject among those we need to master and take time to read, think and get better.

Financially, Fnac (online or not) is really ill and may die soon. It could have been a successful competitor but it rested on its laurels. In any way, it is worse than Amazon. If a store deserved its fate its Fnac online. It is still sad.

Because competition is good in theory but, in practice, many kinds of competition have side effects. Many big companies (Walmart comes to mind) have the capacity to distort the market they're in, change the rule of the market itself. T

Sets and relations are indeed the most richest metamodel but most of the time a dag (directly acyclic graph) is enough : object can be connected to many parents but it keeps most the hierarchical organisation, which is easier to model.

Even the correct version is not that good. The multiple checks on nil is an obvious pattern and as such should be abstracted away. Haskell does it with Maybe but as long as you have function as first class object, it should be doable. Like

I also built my first startup in python. It was a technical success (and a financial failure) but using it imply a few things : * good coders. ( bad coders can do much more damage. ) * you need to use cython (and maybe numpy). * memory pro

You consider speed and size but practical evidence seems to imply that extensbility and readability are as much important, see python, ruby, etc. Those affect the design of the language. The simplicity of the interpreter/compiler is also ve

Please put Python or Ruby or X in the browser. Javascript is no better than PHP. It is there - like Php in its time- because we have no other choice. We're supposed to be professionals and one of our main tool is a joke.

it is just an example, but it shows the kind of danger/potential bugs comes with using a badly designed language. PS : I know it had been designed in 11 days and as such it is an achievement, but as the most used programming language it is
