Not to mention there are dozens of other frameworks that support using Javascript directly like Vert.x, Jooby, Wicket (vaguely remember), Spring and even raw servlets and netty can all be programmed in Javascript using Rhino or Nashhorn.

I don't know why this link keeps getting posted. Javascript on Java in server land has been around for some time and I even talked about some other frameworks that do this in a previous duped link https://news.ycombinator.co

For languages that do not have REPLs I usually just write unit tests. This works particularly well for Java as the Eclipse compiler iteratively compiles and most IDEs will let you run a single method. I imagine a similar stopgap could be us

For what it's worth I hope serde or whatever default serializers are improved. I had some serious issues trying to combine libraries because of serde changing too much. Albeit this was about a year ago so it probably is fixed. Second i

A long time ago (7-10 years ago) Web 2.0 was the craze. It was the beginning of making interactive web applications. There were few major players that were even backed by companies: Dojo, Prototype, GWT, (and like 4 more that I can't r

I have seen several similar things that essentially use existing Java libraries or the libraries themselves offer it (Javascript). * jooby [1] * Vert.x [2] * Rapidoid (I can't find the exact link where JS was used) [3] I'm just no

My annoyance with watches is that I have tiny wrists (even when I was in my twenties and could deadlift more than 500lbs... my wrist have been pathetically small). I have accepted my small wrists but have yet to see a form factor of almost

The joke is funny but it is actually shockingly difficult to make nodes kill themselves instead of doing something for more malignant which is the typical case for bugs. That is a zombie just like in real life can be worse than a dead corps

There are libraries (I didn't downvote you but I suppose that is why as simple googling shows that) [1]. That being said one would argue if you are going the microservices route you shouldn't need an exceptional amount of routing

This is all personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I think Rust could do some serious C++ competition if it could dethrone C++ from some platform or have a worthy alternative. That is I think Rust really needs a killer app/p

It is not hard once you know how to do it is just not readily documented (ie histedit and force push). BTW if you checked in a password... you really should now go change that password :)

Yes but the question is where do you stop. Are you going to check in GNU Make and the compilers as well? How about whole operating systems? I also would say "only check in what you change" is a simpler rule than "check in all

The Linux Kernel and Firefox (mentioned earlier) are not really good examples. I would put those in a single repository as I would imagine most people would. But a whole company as big as FB and Google using a single tree seems like an inco

If you do it right your automation steps are just another package dependency that is versioned (I know because this is how we do it). We have a single bash script that will auto update itself (think akin to home brew albeit in bash). The on

While I appreciate the "code review should be improved" it is fairly easy to accidentally import something you should not have in many IDEs (the merge the class path) as well as other accidents. These issues along with many others

I suppose you could make the argument the other way but my thoughts are that by having the code all together it maybe confusing what is public API (ie interfaces / contracts) and what is not. I know personally that I have had to move c

Yeah I'm not even sure I understand what FB's monorepository is so it is probably unfair critique. I can definitely see an "app" (Firefox) as a monorepo but not giant web companies (particularly with the surge of microse

Speaking of Smalltalk an alternative is to run Squeak and/or one if its subprojects: EToys, Scratch. I haven't tried them in a while but they are designed for kids to explore and have high ceilings. Scratch particularly looks pret

The work ethic correlation with suicide at the end of the article in a common sense way is sort of sound but it also begs the question: "maybe some cultures are more comfortable with suicide" (a->b) instead of idea of the auth
