« Whether or not that’s accurate » is not a minor detail. Some people need to be told when they’re doing shite work, otherwise how can they learn ? The forever supportive culture has some limits and sometimes a bit of spanking can be a grea

"Alternatively, maybe it was as bad as it sounds" I'm sorry but in what world is improving the performance of the product you're working on 10 fold "bad" ??? Yes, it was probably a shock for the team. But those

"The south-west Languedoc region, the country’s largest wine area" This looks weird. Languedoc is in south east, or south-center, but definitely not south west ( which would be the bordeaux region if you're talking about wine

Are there any field where haskell is heavily used, beyond PL research ? I may start to look into it as some point for curiosity, but it would be nice if i'd knew that it would be at least a bit useful somewhere.

sometimes it moves the complexity up the developer's head : "are you sure you really need to do all this, and there isn't a conceptually simpler solution to your specific problem ? Think again !" That's the real val

There's a middleground that many developers have trouble finding : You can design your code so that it'll be easier to evolve into the most likely path. However, you don't actually implement the future cases. Example: it does

xcode swift playground are supposed to be the same kind of ideas. However, it's really one of the worst maintained piece of software in the whole toolsuite. Really a shame..

Since go, this has been a really great way for me to judge a langage: how readable is the stdlib ? If it's layer upon layer of unscrutable abstractions, then you know there's a high chance your codebase will end up looking the sam

this boat probably didn't even have a working engine. It's those kinds of appartment boat that never moves and remain docked all year long... I was surprised as well, but there was nothing we could do. Flushing the WC directly tri

i rented the boat via airbnb, and we did absolutely nothing special. I know nothing about boats but my intuition was that this boat had a direct hose from the WC to the river. It's those kinds of appartment boat that remain docked all

i don't think there was any tank. Just a pipe going straight from the WC to the river.

Rented a boat on the seine once, close to Paris ( near boulogne). We saw people swimming right next to our boat. The problem is that we also knew the boat watercloset went directly outside in the river. You could even see the stream of wate

Indeed i haven't ( although i've heard about it). However i have yet to see any swift codebase of comparable complexity. So, the jury is still out on which language enable the largest scale.

They do, but i'm super relieved they managed to add it to the language while not changing its focus and general feeling. It really feels like a refactoring tool rather than a new design tool : you still think mostly about functions and

protocol extension adds another axis of design, with all its new gotcha ( pat , overrides, etc) It looks great on paper and do enable beautiful designs in some cases. But after tasting languages like go you realize you can get away with str

just try using state machines modelled with enums and you'll fairly quickly reach those limits.

I feel swift really makes it impossible to learn as a language. The number of idioms has grown exponentially at the detriment of orthogonality. I think the red line was crossed with result builders indeed. Looks like a manager once said &qu

indeed that would be number 1 by a VERY high margin. It's pretty ridiculous to start with "world domination" as an objective and end up 10 years later without a portable stdlib (aka foundation). Another issue would be a coher

Currently developing both in swift and go and i have the exact inverse feeling. Go seems to have been developped by true masters that really understand that less is more. They've also kept a laser sharp focus on working on things that

Is this a PR stunt aimed at keeping people engaged on threads ?

by bsaul 3y ago
I have the intuition that rust can’t possibly be the winner, it really feels too crude regarding the way it manages lifetimes. It really feels like the clumsy grandparent of the language that will indeed solve those problems elegantly.
