I tried Cordova three weeks ago, on my Nexus 10 (Android 5.1.1). I wanted to have a native UI, so I tested angular-material and Polymer. I wasn't too happy with the result, due to stuttering animations kind of ruining the UX. Having a

On the whole, it's that arrogance that keeps me away from Rust - for now.

Come on, even that flag's name is ridiculous. They basically say, for example, that writing camel case, which is the preferred style in most of the projects I've seen, is bad style. Do they like being unnecessarily antipathetic? P

by andresmanz 11y ago
You can say that it can be an objective fact, though, that the majority of 'good developers' considers all that stuff poor style. Which is what I get from reading that book. If they don't intend to imply that, they should wri

Well organized and perfect. I'd like to live in that Switzerland he's talking about. And I've seen enough people here who believe in wishing wells. Yes, we have everything we need and everything here is fucking expensive. And

Style recommendations are great and if I was writing code for the standard library, I would certainly follow them. But they don't simply recommend their style. "We recommend doing this like that" is very different from "

by andresmanz 11y ago
That's what I mean. Why should I even care about stuff like this being "considered poor style" by the creators of Rust? "Poor style" is what doesn't work well for my team and me.

That's absolutely OK and I do understand that people want that. I actually like snake case and only slightly prefer camel case. I'd write snake case in large open source projects, if it's actually preferred. But it's ver

I'd like Rust to be shipped without counterintuitive standard library function names and that book with all its style 'recommendations'. And I'd like the Rust compiler to be shipped without that non-snake case warning en

I'm in Switzerland. It's OK to download music and movies for personal use, as long as you don't spread them yourself.

I legally download all the music I want for free without any effort. Because here we "pay for that music by buying a device". Too bad the wrong people receive that money. So I can't say that I like it, but on the other hand I

I think I know what you mean. I guess it's quite comparable to people who are proud of being born in their contries. In my opinion, pride is kind of the wrong word for that. I think what is often called pride is actually the will to (p

I'd be happy with an HTML5 video player for now. Is that planned as well? Actually, I think I even preferred that over an app. Edit: Oh, there already is a request for that.

These are some good and valid points. Well, I write code in C++ because it's fun. And because I don't know any other language yet(!) that offers so many features to express my intends in code. I'm _trying_ to learn Rust at th

Actually, I love C, C++ and Java all the same. They are great tools for writing great code. But regarding the comments I've stumbled upon, I think you're right.

+1! This thing is awesome. And that would make it even more awesome.

That one made me laugh out loud. Some of them are quite good.

> Why should anyone pick Rust over Swift when Swift will be able to do everything Rust can do and is also positioned as a systems programming language? Well, honestly, that's just what I thought about C/C++ in comparison to som

That's hilarious and just what I would expect from a bank in Switzerland. I am a Swiss programmer myself and, seriously... that's one of the reasons why I stopped working for certain Swiss companies. Three years ago, I worked for

Very nice! Well, two things to mention: 1. The title image is not entirely visible on tablets. See here: http://s9.postimg.org/au2hwrc0e/Screenshot_2015_06_19_10_58_... 2. The domain name is epic. I always read 'C

Very nice design and UX, indeed. I'd love to see other languages on that 'platform', too. Oh, and... "Don't be afraid when a box pops up — that's your code working, Penis!" I'm sorry. I really tried

Along with some other reasons, that's why I still prefer compiled, static typed languages in general.

That was my fear, too. And I also will go with C++ first.

That's correct. The voting will be in 2016. If he means that many people are rejecting the idea, I can't confirm that. I've heard and read at least as many positive comments as negative ones.

Well, direct democracy isn't much good when the majority of people aren't able to think for themselves. Or think at all. Being Swiss myself, I sometimes get that impression at least.
