On the other hand, I think the main point of literate programming was to make programs easier to maintain, and I constantly hear about the big gap between developping a notebook and pushing the code into production. Notebooks feels more lik

That's fair, thanks for the clarification. Would that clear the bar if that post was a Show HN? I feel like one of the problem here is that the author isn't here to listen to the feedback anyways, so anything that is "feedbac

The website is made to show you how much time you have left, to highlight that time is precious. To get this reminder, you have to enter your date through a date picker. This date picker is cumbersome, and makes you waste time. I think this

You're missing my point. V not being as developped as other languages is perfectly fine, and I have no issues with that. My problem here is one of trust. The people behind the language have made wild claims that are objectively false.

I agree with you about robust, maintanable software and simplicity. I also think that Go solves those problems pretty well. My point is that there is no need to put down other things, since simplicity may vary from person to person, teams t

You've made a great project, and I can see your concern about open source. However, just to give you the opposing point of view, open source doesn't always mean community-driven development. For example, Rich Hickey, creator of Cl

I think the message that I initially replied to hints more at the "taking pride in not knowing things", or at least can be interpreted that way easily. A different message, that, according to me, doesn't have this issue would

I will not download and play around with the language made by people that still keep fake claims on their websites. If V was more honest, I would myself give it an honest try. It isn't. Some other examples of false claims: > V funct

Multicore wasn't a real blocker, JS is single threaded too and everyone is fine with it. OCaml runs circles around Python and Ruby, yet they are more used.

I didn't encounter the error myself for some time, but I don't know if it's because the language improved or I myself improved, so I can't give you a straight answer.

It's surprising to me that as a engineer you seem to be taking pride in not knowing things. I personally have a biais for functional programming in general. I think there is a lot to learn by studying the languages and pattern used. An

V is still vaporware at this point, most of the claims on the website are just not true. For example, the "coreutils" example is just filled with folders containing "delete.me" files, with no actual code.

You could make the same arguments when you're working with slices in Go. Take append(slice, element). Does it return a slice with the element appended to it, or does it modify the slice in-place?. For some things, you have to look at t

To expand a bit on the sibling post, this is basically OCaml's niche. The type inference is great, so you usually don't have to write any types (not even in functions signatures like Rust). The language has support for functional,

My personal experience is that it's okay for me as long as the desk is where you don't sleep and the bed is where you sleep. Low/no smartphone/laptop usage in bed also helps.
