I was about to respond to your comment above by saying landmines are 1000x worse, but you just said the opposite, which is completely incomprehensible to me. Are you perchance thinking of literally just the environment, not the fact that co

You can have your house built fast, cheap, or well. Pick two; or a bit of all three that adds up to the same effort required. You can't have all three. You can't have a language with 100% of the possible runtime perf, 100% of the

I'd say you already get like 70% of the benefit of a type system with just the basic "you can't pass an int where string is expected". Being able to define your own types based on the basic ones, like "type Email st

Not really. The root reason behind Go's fast compilation is that it was specifically designed to compile fast. The implementation details are just a natural consequence of that design decision. Since fast compilation was a goal, every

I had a coworker who took this to the extreme. When they'd come up to anyone they'd say, without any pauses in-between: "Hi. How are you? So I wanted to tell you x, y, z [...]", not leaving any time to respond, even with

Holy buzzwords. There's no such thing as the GC design, just like there's no the car engine design that's suitable for every vehicle in existence. The right GC design is one that fits the language it's designed for.

I raise you "premature optimization is the root of all evil". Great advice, so good in fact that it's true for literally anything: "premature X is the root of all evil". If it's "unnecessary" or &quot

I've always found what cats do admirable. I have never had to bury a cat. Once their time comes, they simply wander off, never to be seen again. It just feels like the right way to go.

If you say so. For me it's always been the opposite - I'm excited at the start about all the cool features, then slowly get disillusioned because of the warts.

I assume you mean languages with exceptions. You can't bubble up an exception, it's done automatically. That's a very important distinction. You can't make the decision to bubble up or not, because you do not have the re

Yeah, so that's not how anything humans do works. Languages are designed for humans, so you must analyze from the perspective of humans. You can't merely compare "functional differences" and call it a day. Watch this unt

Only if running one such memory-hungry program at a time, which usually cannot be afforded. Multi-program workloads are much more common and the strategy of using as much ram as possible can't work in that environment.
