Go is like Java 1.2 from 1998.

That is my experience, too. I worked on a SPA with a more or less simple looking table that presented hierarchical data and made them editable with form elements. Under the hood there were hundred lines of very dense rxjs code and the whole

But just look at Gnome, which is probably the most widely used Linux desktop. Until Gnome started Gnome 3 it was something like a nice replacement for Windows 95..XP. But then they crippled the UI, decided what the user really needs and rem

The argument that a schemaless DB would be easier for developers is pretty much the same argument that a programming language with dynamic tpying would be easier than a language with static typing. That might be true in the short term, but

For me it is just more fun to write on a mechanical keyboard. I've never measured it, but I think that I'm writing a bit faster on it. But anyway, there is no other reason for me than that I like the the feeling, the sound and the

What sometimes gets forgotten is that even a programming language _is_ a model! And it is a model that fits exactly all the details that are necessary to construct an actual program with all the little special cases. Modeling all constraint

I wonder whether UX tests are performed during the development of Gnome. A big number of the design decisions seeming arbitrary. Overall there is very little usability progress since Gnome 3 appeared. Gnome has long been my favorite desktop

A good approach to avoid that kind of technical debt is domain-driven design (DDD). It helps to express concepts discussed with stakeholders directly into the code base. Thus the chance to make errors when translating the customer language

Even Lukas Eder, the creator of JOOQ, suggests to use Hibernate for CRUD and JOOQ for querying: https://blog.jooq.org/2015/03/24/jooq-vs-hibernate-when-to-c...

Exactly this! And I'm curios to learn how to solve this update problem (in an elegant way) with pure SQL.

by cryptos 5y ago
The interesting part is how to perform updates without an ORM. All this "just use SQL" statements seem to ignore this problem. If a domain model is used there is no simple, obvious way how to find out what needs to be updated in t

A default constructor must be present, yes, but if you use Kotlin a compiler plugin can generate this constructor that is not visible in your code base (but would be if another module would use the compiled byte code). JPA/Hibernate do

For me Python is a more ergonomic language. It is easier to read and write. And that led to a sustained growth of Python. Python's popularity exploded in recent years due to data analytics tools using that language, but there was a rea

I think most interpretations of OOP are too specific. Interpretations are often about classes, inheritance, polymorphism and stuff like that. But the original idea of OOP was more about message passing, so that you tell an abject what you w

After being a big fan of Scala about 10 years ago, I think that Kotlin is better suited in almost all cases. Kotlin is much easier to learn (especially if you know a similar language like Java, C# or TypeScript), much easier to read and und

But first-class function is a completely different thing than dependency injection (DI). Supporting functional programming is a an aspect of the programming language itself, while DI is part of the infrastructure. I agree with you, that Jav

I don't think there is a need to blur the line between a standard library and frameworks. Maybe @Inject should have been in the JDK, but on the other hand it can be added to any project easily and is supported by several frameworks. In

But why should we find them? And are we really sure we want them to know us? There are so many more pressing challenges on earth, I don't see why we should invest money in searching for life in space.

Why Python at all? About 10 years ago I liked Python a lot (and still like it in principle) and felt very productive compared to, say, Java. Java was full of inconvenience, XML, bloated frameworks and all that. But today you can use Kotlin,

There is a nice saying in german: "In former times everything was better, even the future!" I think software development and UX have improved a lot in the last decades. Build tools are sometimes really annoying, but does anyone re

Maybe it is is "CRUD" in practice, but often it shouldn't. There ist way too much business software with ugly hacks like misused data fields, endless data repetition, manual steps and the like. That might be "good enough

I'm somewhat tired of the Tiobe index. From time to time it is even cited in serious media although the method to gather this statistic is very questionable. Since the humanity seems to too nee "Top n" lists, it would be good

But the advantage of avoiding C specific bugs is shallow, because the Rust code contains lots of unsafe blocks. Bugfixes made to the original source are not automatically ported to the Rust code base. From my point of view the chosen portin

I wouldn't call myself a UML power user, so maybe my comparison was not challenging enough. What I like better in VP is the usability. What did you miss in VP?

According to micro benchmarks C is about twice as fast as Go. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... That is already pretty fast, and I guess the difference in practical scenarios would be even
