Is it really oversold? Anytime there are Julia threads is much more common to find a reactionary take like the one that started this thread or some dismissal based on a superficial syntax complaint. There _are_ legitimate complaints about t

I have been registered for a few years and I used to enjoy the discussions, at least when it came to technical topics. I think HN has probably always been quite dismissive and contrarian (like that infamous comment about Dropbox), but to me

I was reluctant to write that paragraph, as I didn't want to derail the discussion into a third tangen about comment etiquette and negativity. But yes, I fully agree.

I tried it a couple days ago and so far my main gripe is that I am not all that familiar with Scala, which anyway seems like a great language. The project seems very well enginereed and the maintainer is very friendly (there is a Discord wh

It is a very nice feature. As far as I know, it is a common pattern in Scala and I also do it in Julia (although there might be some small performance penalty). It just makes complex code much more readable without polluting the module&#x27

Spain is the second most mointanous country in the European Union after Austria. And not a desert. It also seems to be particularly efficient at building infrastructure.

Well, from my perspective, making claims about the world ending requires some substantial backing, which I didn't find in OP's comment. But now I understand that perhaps this is self-evident and/or due to a lack of reading co

One of the features that I dislike the most abiout Julia is how list comprehensions have been directlly ported from Python. This was a conscious choice they made out of pragmatism, not because of the merits of the design. I don't doubt

No, beer on the weekends is not fine, at least if you are somehow rating it as worse than soft drinks. There is no "moderate" amount of alcohol that you can drink that does not have negative health outcomes.

What is the part that sickens you?

It's not ambiguous because there are multiple ways to parse it. It's ambiguous because all tokens are identical save capitalization and represent different POS elements based on position and context. I am not sure what your defini

As a Spaniard I had of course heard of Tamariz, but I had no idea there was an Spanish "scene", so to speak. Are you also spaniard or just into the topic?

The point of my comment was not to diss FP, but to explain that imperative code with some local mutability is not necessarily in direct opposition to pure FP. I have never tried Haskell, so I cannot really hold any truly fair opinion there,

> Thhat is a fine point which I rarely see discussed in connection with FP. (Pure) FP is commonly understood (?) to mean that there can be no mutable data. Martin Odersky was discussing this recently. How they found examples of overly-co

I can think of one, Ruby has a very healthy ecosystem for web development, with a very dominant an popular framework. A lof ot big companies seem to be invested on it to some degree. I don't think it has the brightest future and it mig

You are right about the "coger" (to pick up / to fuck) part. But fútbol is just the sport. You'd talk about "coger la pelota / balón". I'd assume is the same in Argentina, but I do not know that for c

Which it's a pretty fair assumption: you would create all of those files through generators, eliminating the need for writing boilerplate. And make the name explicit if, for any reason, your template is located somewhere else. I am not

Well, it's not necessarily cheaper to produce (either by carefully controlling the alcohol production or doing some sort of "dialysis"). It's true they should be cheaper once you think of taxes, but probably the don&#x27

I did! It was not even _that_ long ago. I remember fondly reading the Eiffel book by Meyer, which was lenghty but full of interest tidbits and explanations. However, using the language itself was a different story. This must have been aroun

I think I meant "fair-right" (that's why there was a hyphen) and wanted to avoid a more exact characterization to avoid sparking a debate around it.

It's hard to answer meaningfully without risking starting a pointless debate in the comments or being fully honest, but I will try: There are two FP ecosystems inside the Scala community with a very adversarial relationship towards eac

Probably because: 1. You don't make any actual point that could lead to a constructive discussion. 2. What you are saying is not true: this model was developed in an university in Germany and sponsored by a private company. The only pu

That is not dependency loading. About your issue, things you can do: - Put the struct inside another module. - Use this package: https://github.com/BeastyBlacksmith/ProtoStructs.jl . It gives you a simple @proto macro
