No good generalized solution for this it seems. The best you can do is to specialize per situation and leverage all the assumptions you can while being cautious not to leverage the assumptions you can’t. This problem contains lots of incide

I've replied earlier with concrete details in another place in this subthread. You indeed haven't insulted anyone, but your comment history does indicate some biased intent; if the ecosystem changes affected you, we'd like to

We did use Reason and ReasonReact. Not sure where you're getting your info. And no we don't use TypeScript on the team...

...who are you? Everything you said in this subthread is false, and you seem to have a weird chip on your shoulder regarding this.

Jonathan Blow recently talked about this in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk . Maybe this is where the author got the idea of noting them down? These discussions usually invite lots of hand-wavy complaints and opp

Tup requires FUSE, so is a deal breaking dependency for many corporate setups due to security. If you’re into Tup, you might also like https://github.com/droundy/fac Fun fact: ninja was inspired by Tup, but is a bit mo

Turns out, we end up evolving said general intelligence system into doing bespoke creative work, and it slows down the compilation time by around as much as it takes a human to think up the analytical solution =P Then we end up with a tunab

I’ve had nothing but positive customer experiences from Bose (5 times, from 2-3 different shops). I’ve made a note to voice this feedback the last time they served me. Now I did =) I no longer use the earphones, but I can vouch for them.

Argh, I promised myself I wouldn't come back to this thread actually; debates around this particular subject I've been part of have been tiresome =) I can assure you that I'm not conflating simple things like user experience

No comment about the Mu itself but: > Our approach to keeping software comprehensible is to reduce information hiding and abstraction, and instead encourage curiosity about internals YES! Precisely. Most "bicycle for the mind"

There are, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMP2w5o4Yco Their algorithm also addresses your concern of how to make pages “line up”. This method’s likely subject to the criticisms around this post.

Yeah it’s not inspired by adapton. Plus, they work differently. Their data flow in opposite directions.

I went to their open house twice. Since it the article says Bret is on sabbatical, maybe we should wait a year for the next one. It's not easy catering to waves of new people.

Nice to see the author here. Note that I still do appreciate the post. You're also right that establishing simple, potentially extreme profiles isn't the goal but does help with understanding. The nuance I wanted to convey was los

This post is nice, but... Rich Hickey and Bret Victor here are squashed into overly simple (and/or wrong) categories whose descriptions go like "the best programs [...] formally prove correctness" and "beautiful code is

Eh where did you see that? ReasonReact is runtime-free, unless you’re explicitly using some of the extra helpers.

Yeah, more practically speaking, this “flattening” behavior of nullable(nullable(foo)) = nullable(foo) makes type checking much harder. This is one of the things that’s subtle and hard to get right when you tackle a type system on top of an

So, language-agnostic dead code elimination by intercepting at much lower level? That’s great. How does it work with dynamic linking?

I see what you’re trying to say here, but Reason (and its compiler BuckleScript) aren’t the kind of puristic language folks might think they are. BuckleScript has one of the most comprehensive way to bind to whatever piece of JS you have:

I’m familiar with these positions (static types, ADT, parsing, etc). But my comment on “less surprising” was meant for Python; it turned out that you can get pretty far with it with no static types nor ADT. So it’s very possible that Go can

Hey trishume! It’s been a while (this is the Reason person). Great post; it echoes all the experiences I/we’ve personally had, especially the alternative Rust section: on the spectrum of how much intelligence one needs to understand fa
