my IDE gives me help as I type, allowing me to quickly refer to method lists, near-match methods, docs of such methods what I envisioned is a similar experience for the CLI tools we've come to know and love not sure anyone neeeeeeds th

if man pages and `--help` output were more formal definitions of CLIs, we could make a tool that creates a browsable version of every CLI command that has man pages and/or `--help` text.

Can we all agree that the bean spec was not a good idea? No matter how old, or what other stupid ideas were fashionable back then. I cannot see how making things "beans" actually solves anything (besides maybe a slight reduction i

Good point. I remember Redis is designed as single thread as it makes the design simpler. Now with Rust we can actually manage complexity from multiple threads (if that's even still needed when using an async/evented/eventloo

See how much discipline is needed to "write Python as Rust"? This is the real problem: you can have great code in dynamic/liberal/forgiving languages, but it will be due to programmer's discipline. Using a tool like

Admins leave Apache, usually because the config language is so arcane, sometimes because they are attracted by better performing solutions.

Yes. Nginx was forked from Apache by a Russian programmer. What do you try to imply with your statement? FLOSS licenses allow software to be used for any purpose. This is a good thing, after seeing lists of "undesireable countries&quot

Too bad immutability breaks the quite-ubiquitous-in-JVM-land Bean spec (and I wonder what one was smoking before drawing that spec). I think having proper sum-types with pattern matching would have also made it a much better language.

Then fork, extend, plugin, whatever. Chrome also still allows uBlock, etc. (myself on FF though) Govts also use the JVM or Linux: did those projects suffer? I think FLOSS is for all: the good guy and the bad guy (in whomever's eyes), i

I agree “it doesn’t have threads” is a bullshit reason. Especially since it took JS's threadlessness to make evented (aka async, aka promise-based, aka callback-based, aka eventloop-based) mainstream, and for good reasons! It allows ma

Oppositely: not being able to articulate the problems with PHP/Laravel compared to a stack of say Kotlin/Ktor or C#/MVC or Java/SpringBoot is a red flag too in my book.

A rite of passage for Element/Matrix. Apparently it does it's job so well that gov'ts are afraid on one end (India in this case), and adopting it on the other end (the German govt trying to not be spied on by the US). Element

Given Linux now allows bits written in Rust, I think a port-to-Rust project may be interesting. There's probably some place on the internet where the Rust minded are discussing what are the most interesting projects in this space (I ha
