Your comment is even dumber than I would expect from you. That is a very impressive feat. Non-sequiturs don't become relevant because you say "DURRRR".

I don't use racket obviously, but looking through the docs on typed racket it certainly looks like it adds java-style static typing. Having crappy partial type inference doesn't make the type system powerful or expressive, C# has

>One of the main benefits of static typing is to detect errors at compile time Obviously. But a static type system that lacks power and expressiveness is very constraining and can detect very few classes of errors. Hence the example of

People constantly repeat that, but I never see it actually be true. I frequently see people spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on hardware and hosting costs just to save $5k of developer salaries. Just because they have i

But that comment is such a transparent and absurd red herring that it is an insult to your intelligence to repeat it. People talk about PHP too. That doesn't stop them from shipping products using it. Talking about languages has abs

You are just saying the equally wrong thing on the opposing side. You can get to 2x without giving up anything. Lists are just a data structure. So are vectors. You don't give anything up to choose one or the other, you pick the ri

Yeah, nobody would let anything important rely on an application written in C. Like apache or nginx. Or postgresql. Or your whole operating system. That would be crazy.

The site's code absolutely is part of those milliseconds. Often times it can even be tbe bulk of them, particularly in cases of PHP noobs writing the code.

But they are essentially garbage are they not? Adding java-style static typing is not helpful at all. The benefits of static typing are very much tied to the power of the type system in question.

You are welcome to write shit code in go too, nothing is stopping you.

What do you mean? Feels like 1998 as in it is simple, easy and works? Doesn't have enough javascript errors to prevent you from making purchases?

I think that qualifies as me missing something obvious. Thanks.

It is interesting, because I am a long time hardcore unix guy, and I have the exact opposite feeling. I don't think linux offers any advantage over windows for a desktop/gaming environment any more. Back when we had to deal with

Is that supposed to be a poor attempt at satire or something?

Am I just missing something obvious or does that product not offer any way to actually interact with and/or design a database other than raw SQL? Like, how do I add a new table, or change a column in an existing table?

You sound an awful lot like a troll. I have more experience with postgresql than that, and it is literally the single least problematic major software project I've ever used.

Yes, ironically the web frameworks that explicitly say "we're not MVC" tend to be much closer to actual MVC than the ones that call themselves MVC frameworks.

Rails started out as a "the database is stupid, it is just storage" and "models are just object wrappers over your stupid database" as defining characteristics. And it has always had this weird notion that everything ha

I am amazed at how one web framework managed to completely redefine a long standing pattern in such a short time. MVC is quite old, and well established, and was even used in web development well before rails came along. But now suddenly
