As a Java developer I'm really looking forward for Project Loom. I think it's a great approach that avoids the pitfalls of the two-colored functions approach. However, Project Loom doesn't fit into the "zero cost abstrac

I recently tried Firefox again and I liked a lot. Only drawback for me at the moment is the lack of hardware video decoding on Linux. I hope it arrives soon.

For a mono-repo setup I find Bazel much better than those two. If you have few hundred projects or more, Maven is a pretty bad choice. Gradle is slightly better, but still much slower than Bazel. But it's not just speed, Bazel does do

I've worked with both and while Bazel definetely has a learning curve, mostly because is very different than Maven and Gradle, I actually find it considerably simpler than those two. Maven dependency management is really complex, and I

From a functional perspective, this of course doesn't make any sense. But from an imperative perspective it does. A common use for closures in imperative languages is to have custom control structures similar to `if`, `for`, `while`, e

My point was about the the fact that by declaring your dependencies explicitly, Bazel allows you to compile only the things you depend on, not everything in the monorepo. And once you have built your dependencies once, you don't have t

There is available tooling to help you with that, not only has to be discipline. A monorepo oriented build tool such as Bazel will make sure that you don't compile more than needed. This is extremely efficient. In fact, in my company w

I also struggle with this. The best advice I've found is a 9 years old blog post by Derek Yu [1]: "Treat finishing things as a skill rather than a step in the process". We all have different skills, we can be good at programm

That's interesting. In my experience, one of the major advantages of a monorepo is precisely CI. In fact, only after we tried a Monorepo we finally experienced true CI. An example to illustrate this: You have a library X that depends o

I love how Reagent works and I do think it makes interactive applications simpler and easier to reason about. That said, I think FP still has one disadvantage which is performance. This is because the underlying computer is 100% imperative

I work at a large organization (2000+ devs). We have used both a Monorepo and Polyrepo. After some extensive experience with both models my conclusion is that the Monorepo is by far a superior model, specially for a large organization. Of c

A star pattern still has most of the downsides of the multirepo approach. Specifically, it has the problem of needing a parallel version control (e.g. SemVer) on top of your individual repositories. This creates fragmentation, where differe

by ceronman 8y ago
It's actually the other way around. The cost of dealing with all the downsides multiple version control systems is way higher than investing in tooling for the Mono-Repo. This is mentioned in articles by Facebook and Google.
