I think Python's mandatory whitespace has a similar nature as Go's unused-as-an-error. They are definitely great in production code, but when I play with code, sometimes I do want to mess them up while adding and removing the part

Could you recommend me some articles on the "mobile phones vs. safe water" thing and/or "paying via SMS"? That sounds very interesting.

Rob Pike, one of the creators of Go, said so: > Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++.[1] I thought this was obvious

...Abstract syntax tree? I didn't know it was implemented without using AST. It surprises me, as I've been always told that ASTs are necessary to implement a compiler. Maybe there seem to be some alternatives?

I do think promise and deferred are huge improvements to ergonomics, but still... I cannot completely love the code bloat (which is much smaller and easier to reason about than callback hell, of course) that is caused by those libraries. I

That's a good point. I also think `asyncio` was way too late in the game. I just wanted to mention the feature that was missed from your comment, which I think is not fair to Python.

I heard that Swift catches the overflow (and underflow). Rust also does that, but only in debug builds. So now we're finally seeing the mainstream languages adopt the integer-overflow-as-an-exception approach. Rust had used unbounded i

I've also experienced similar failures. I've tried to learn Haskell several times, and every time I meet the Monad section in the tutorial I lost my concentration. One of my friends who is proficient in Haskell told me to just sta

Years ago, when I first watched the videos of the contest, I was overwhelmed by the micro that an AI plays with a bunch of Mutalisks. It never resembles a human play - among a number of Mutalisks, each Mutalisk could be moved completely ind

As a South Korean, it is interesting to me that their translation of the technical terms which originate from English is quite different to ours. In general, the loanwords in North Korean tend to follow the meaning of the original words, wh

It seems that the GNU version slightly differs from the OP. It includes a joke on IBM RS-6000 and their virtual machine, and have different spellings (Nichlaus vs. Niklaus, AT&&T vs. AT&T). I wonder which one precedes.

by barosl 12y ago
Wow, it's been a long time since I checked this joke for the last time! At that time I read the version that was translated into my mother tongue (Korean). Now I read this in its native form.

I'm quite surprised that Nim's strings are null-terminated, and have a length field. According to a forum article[1], it is mainly due to the C interoperability. I understand that FFI is kinda important for system languages, but

I find Java's checked exception similar to Option type, because they are all part of the function's type. You cannot pass alone without checking the possible failure case.

One thing I love in Rust is that it purely makes use of the existing infrastructure that everybody knows - GitHub. Every Google project uses its own repository, issue tracker, and mailing list. Even many Mozilla projects such as SpiderMonke

It is surprising to me that they recommend callbacks over promises! I had no idea that promises require higher CPU resources.

As a noob who recently moved away from the Python land, it is mind-blowing to me that the shim needed to communicate with a foreign library (or even, bare metal) is that simple. When I first learned Python years ago, I was told that I can s

Even if you use popen() or system() in your application, Debian/Ubuntu machines are not affected. These distributions don't use bash for /bin/sh. `dash`(Debian ash) is used instead. Good work, Debian!

I guess using a connection queue is preferable? (Although it complicates the software stack a bit.)
