If we collect all the reasons in this thread together it rules out a significant majority of companies. Just saying.

Can you provide more context? What are you trying to achieve?

That's not what I meant. A language could give you first-class-citizen constructs for things like tests and constraints that could be compiler-enforced. Some of that can be a part of the type system such as the ability to express &quot

I think Amazon could probably still "get them" by putting them through legal costs.

Unfortunately TDD has become a band-aid for lack of constructs that should be a part of the language in the first place. A language that allows you to express the spec could be so much more useful.

You pay for not specifying those parameters and so on in other ways later on. By leaving those things out you are broadening the problem model and denying the compiler information that it needs from you as the programmer so that it can do a

Javascript is increasingly becoming just as important as HTML and CSS for a web experience. If you "disable HTML" the web will be broken, expect the same for Javascript. Trying to build every single thing in a way that gracefully

Linode has a weak track-record with regards to security in my view.

What's "high volume"?

Yes but it can get pretty noisy when a component that is deep down needs access to some information. Redux decouples component structure from information access. This is useful when you have some little button for example that should look d

Redux state is useful for when other parts of the app need to be aware of or react to that state. Sometimes there are little bits and pieces that may look like they are "private state of a component" but over time you'll find

Please do your client a favour and find a way to use an existing CMS. There are countless options available. Building something custom effectively means you are stating that your requirements somehow happen to be so unique that somehow all

TypeScript and VSCode are good friends. They even generally release new versions at the same time.

Only you can answer. But to me sounds like a prettyy bad idea. Doing business with any family member is generally not a good idea. Not to mention leaving a high-paying industry to go into some random thing you don't know anything about

It's just a micro-framework so it's useful if you often use Django but end up replacing all sorts of bits and pieces of it anyway. In a case like that you can be better off just using Flask.

With regards to the "diff" which I forgot to address earlier. The changeset still has a textual representation. So the diff could be like a webpage that is showing: On 5 June 2017 John Smith authored the following changeset: - Add

I know. That's why I think it's a very difficult but worthwhile problem to tackle. We have stopped questioning certain things and take them for granted and those come with certain constraints and limit our progress. (Such as the i

It will be something close to an AST. "syntax" is the textual representation of an underlying structure. When all of our tooling revolves our modifying text/syntax not the underlying structure we make our lives very difficult
