If you roughly understand *nix and can think about things in terms of the unix philosophy it takes no time at all to grok Go. It's basically C if it were repackaged for writing http-aware services.

Blink is to Servo what Chromium is to Firefox. Supporting Servo on its own doesn't really move the needle a whole lot if it's missing all of the rest of the bits that make a comprehensive browser. Firefox is already using Servo (a

Wouldn't the large amount of existing services written in Hack be reason enough to keep it around? The cost of rewrites at that scale certainly has to be far more expensive than the cost of paying a team to maintain HHVM

At this point, sunken cost into a Steam library aside, I won't buy a game if it isn't on Steam and at least SteamDeck supported. Valve alone has made it possible to game full-time on Linux as a first class citizen and has greatly

I think it depends on what kind of data you're dealing with. If you know the shape of your data, it's pretty trivial to create a struct with json tags and serialize/deserialize into that struct. But if you're dealing wit

As someone who isn't super proficient in Java I usually find Java daunting to get started with full of buckets of "meta" issues like in my other comment. What JVM do I use? Does it matter? Does it matter what version I instal

Go is the only language I've ever felt highly productive working in. Oftentimes in other stacks I find myself in analysis paralysis on meta things that don't matter: - what design patterns/language features make sense to use

Considering GitHub created their own implementation of git to dance around the gray areas of the GPL, it doesn't really come as a surprise that the new product from the same people are also shying away from copyleft or permissible lice

You can always reply and say "can you send me a link to that" and place the onus back onto whoever is asking something about that Jira. Do that enough times and eventually people start to get the hint.

I'd probably fall more in the spectrum of dumb programmer vs smart one, but I like clean code/consistently enforced patterns because it reduces the amount of mental overhead required to get code state into your brain. I'd rat

I think it feels like the inverse. It seems like MS wants people to use more CLI and has been retrofitting PowerShell as a full-fledged Windows administration layer. But the problem with it being retrofitted is it feels very clunky and diff
