I've always wondered why rake isn't more popular. It's very make-like and simple, but with the advantage of a fully-featured scripting language. https://github.com/ruby/rake

Wow. Talk about the wrong approach. When you're having to play trial-and-error to get the right method, you definitely have a problem with your tools - not the language! I don't know about other editors, but vim has great autocomp

I'd be very interested if you could provide evidence of Lennart being an asshole. I've honestly never seen him be anything other than professional.

I agree. It's disgusting. Luckily he's a brilliant engineer and was able to withstand the flames long enough for people to recognise how good his software is. Pulseaudio and systemd are two of the best things to happen to Linux in

It's hard to overstate the importance of redundancy in natural languages. This is the whole reason we are able to make ourselves understood in a noisy, imprecise world. Even if you miss a few syllables - or even half a sentence, you ca

While it has many advantages, clang still isn't as robust as gcc ( e.g. http://clang.debian.net/ ), and the code it produces can be slower ( e.g. http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1404144-KH-CLANG
