When it comes to language popularity, we have to keep in mind that D is way more popular than so-called up and coming languages (where it's oddly ignored they came out many years ago) such as Zig, Nim, Crystal, etc... Dlang often floa

That's a pretty harsh take on Go. Many people find how it does concurrency, OO without classes (methods assigned to structs), its simplicity, and compilation speed as refreshing. At least in comparison to C, of which few would know h

But isn't the position of a "Better C", already covered too, by languages such as D? And I mean literally too, with their "-betterC". There is arguably no place for Zig to go, along the "better C" route,

Yet strangely Vlang has had REPL since at least back from 2020 ( https://youtu.be/Pvbv4b9TibA ), a year after the language was released. Don't think it's as impossible as it is being made out to be here. Just like

I think you might have got that flipped around. I've known many more people that found white-spaced based languages harder on the eyes and more annoying to deal with.

Actually, what people can find is the author of Vlang has been shown to welcome constructive and helpful criticism versus outright trolling or blatant smearing. For example- "What don't you like about V / what would you like

REPL for V programming language ( https://youtu.be/Pvbv4b9TibA ).

But, is Zig really all that much simpler a language, from the viewpoint of a C alternative? And is that simplicity partially due to lack of features and youth, so that the complexity can be expected to pile on later. We are talking about

You did nothing wrong in pointing out the difference in attitude. The change in views is arguably indicative to the extent that Vlang was perceived as a real threat, competition, or could become more successful. Vlang has continually maint

You are disrespecting the choice of iPhone owners, who want freedom of choice on a product they paid for. That's what jailbreaking was/is all about and the various App Store alternatives. It also shows a lack of understanding on

> ...the solution is not to transfer your freedom to choose to Apple and just let them decide... Very good point. It's almost like people believing it to be better for a "benevolent" dictator to make all decisions, so tha

I'm not quite understanding this argument. If you prefer to stay behind a "walled garden", then you still can. The difference being that you will personally enforce your own preferences for all things dictated or suggested

When there are no paper ballots or printing of ballot receipts, I take it that the quiet intent is not to have a paper trail so that election fraud can be more easily hidden or for plausible deniability. Often, such methods, are to be used

It might seem odd, but have to agree, in terms of lack of "evangelism" on the part of Object Pascal users and developers. I think this is partially because of the long "language wars" involving C/C++/C#, and c

But oddly, Nim never went in that direction, despite its Object Pascal roots. Have instead seen some Golang Golphers try to modify the Lazarus IDE for their purposes.

Almost hilarious how people overlook Object Pascal and its IDEs, yet it's what many languages wish they had or want to be like.

It appears a somewhat counter-argument is about getting high salaries and the corresponding positions without having to go into debt or at least invest the time and money into getting a degree. As we all know, student loan debt is a very r

I suppose in that case, if the higher salaries justified the cost of the master's degree, then you got a good return on your investment.

However, it will still take Russia many years to do the transition of supplying India and China (and whoever else), to the same level they were to Europe. In the near future, Russia will be somewhat hurting itself, as it's hurting Eur

Good points. Germany has long been warned from so many sources (both domestic and international) that something like this situation could happen, yet they ran full speed and head first into it anyway.
