But he didn't design the Doom game. He designed its graphics engine.

So again, what has he done successfully besides C++ graphics?

Really? What's wrong with .NET? It's one of the nicest cross-platform platforms out there. What Microsoft has done with it is amazing.

F# is not a pure functional language. It is a functional-first language that does imperative and OOP better than imperative and OOP languages. You can program F# just like you would Python, and it will be more readable, concise, performant,

I get your sentiment, but I side on it's infuriating that it's taken this long. Lol. F# is wonderful. It is the best general purpose language, in my opinion. I looked for F# jobs for years and never landed one and gave up. I write

People worship this guy, but other than being a good C++ graphics programmer, it isn't clear what he's actually done.

> I wish it was the default, and mutable was a keyword. Well yea, that's what sane languages that aren't Python, C, and C++ do. See F# and Rust.

I stopped doing it because it felt like I was restarting every puzzle rather than building on top of something, and that's not all that interesting to me. I'm not judging the process, as that's just my personal perspective ab

His parents are retired Stanford professors. Despite their criminal involvement in FTX, that isn't exactly the type of people Trump coddles too.

I've only used Qt from Python, but I found that a major downside. Qt wants you to program inside Qt and not within your host language. Take, for example, their approach to Python's asyncio. Instead of integrating with Python'

Thanks for the clarifications! > I believe less than 5% of Phoenix' public API turned out to be macros. The idea may still be right, but I'm curious if that addresses the majority of the public API that users are greeted with.

by bmitc 1y ago
> Frameworks in langauges that don't use macros have this problem too that's what I was getting at with the DSL vs API thing. You mean in the sense that the language's built-in syntax and available abstractions get abused
442.
by bmitc 1y ago
That's true for languages that have macros. I just don't like macros, as they get over-abused in every language that has them. I'd much rather deal with just boilerplate and tedious syntax but still straightforward and comple

The Phoenix churn is definitely real. It's so much so that I've never gotten into it. It's also extremely macro heavy, and so it's its own DSL or collection of DSLs. A concrete example of the churn is that the LiveView b

None that I know of. It's really impressive. Although, they really should have made .NET cross-platform from the beginning. I even advocated for a previous company to try and find someone from the .NET project to help lead a similar bu

Is that actually true for Microsoft? How they've evolved .NET and VS Code is amazing. You can make a PR on Microsoft's repos, someone actually pays attention, you get to talk and worth with Microsoft employees, and they merge thin
