As someone who knows Rust besides several other "powerful" languages, I'd say it sounds more like Crystal now. Many of the benefits of Rust while also having a significant higher productivity. It's a tradeoff: less use c

by anonyfox 5y ago
I really like crystal (coming from ruby 10 years ago) and I still check it from time to time, but the number one showstopper for me using it more is that static linking is not possible like in Go or Rust. Just compile a binary from my Mac a

As a LEAN architect by myself, the Main problem that I encounter every day is that following the principles require actual thinking. Like: - why do we do this in the first place? What _is_ the customer value (and therefore is waste?) - is t

I have no clue if the data in the slides is correct, but scrolling through it, it seems that we can deal with the current issues presented without too much hassle. Even while I _do_ support a quite drastict enironment-protection stance, thi

Instead of firing Rust/Servo-People, the double down on finishing a technically superior browser would probably have done the same thing that Chrome did years ago: slick, lean, ultra fast -> technical folks would not only recommend

These things will happen probably, i just tried to formulate the events more rationale. And, accepting that all of this happens, I try to be in a comfortable position. So my family will have options instead of dealing with dispair, despite

Climate Change? I deal with it without emotions. Things are what they are, and I want to optimize the outcome for my family. These are my predictions: - Humanity will probably lose the fight, not because technology isn‘t available, but but

But I can compile Rust programs (be sure to use rustls instead of openssl, ...) and give it to a colleague with zero dev tools/libraries/docker installed and they can run them. Similar story like Go. And I can have Github Actions

Disclaimer: My job title is "LEAN architect", so I might be biased here. The point is, "agile" emerged from accepting that building new things primarily deals with the uncertain. You plan something, and then there are th

Next entity for the killed-by-google-graveyard? Joke aside, seems that kotlin is a niche player and will remain a better Java until something like Rust eventually takes over the enterprise market.

I‘d love to see Apple joining. They already have the hand on LLVM and support things indirectly, but... There is no reason that serious things written in Rust can‘t coexist with app-y stuff in swift. Seriously, I think we all would benefit

This is something I understood, but I ask specifically as a person at the intersection point between those worlds, owning the operational database and want to see if I can enhance systems for both, speedy operations _and_ seamless analytics

So if I understand this correctly from an application developers perspective: - for OLTP tasks, something row based like sqlite is great. Small to medium amounts of data mixed reading/writing with transactions - for OLAP tasks, arrow l

Isn‘t this just the typical oscillation from virtue ethics (mindset is most important) to consequentialism (results are most important) and sometimes deontological ethics (acting itself is most important). This seems to swing like a pendulu

Given that Featurecreep/Software complexity continues to increase, there would be a shift in mindset to leverage more Performant languages/tools instead of only focussing on highlevel productivity for developers. Read: use Rust in

I‘d prefer if mozilla would have finished Firefox’ transition to Rust/Servo to make their core product dramatically better and start regaining browser share. Seems that accumulating expensive C-suits, firing a chunk of their best engin

Since this runs solely on Cloudflare workers sites itself (no server behind it), it would be quite funny when HN hugging the site would have any measurable effect :D
