But tables in LaTeX are not fun, too. Once upon time I was about to write a bunch of big and complex tables with LaTeX and needed to include "mini pages" in table cells to be able to render complex content. It was so awkward that

I totally agree with you. Markdown is nice as a pretty simple documentation format. It is a good fit for something like a letter, a README or a short tutorial. I you go beyond this level, you are better off with something more powerful like

The syntax simulates the visual representation of tables, but that doesn't scale for larger tables with many columns and/or large columns with a lot of content. Another downside is that you can not use markup, like bullet lists or

Although it looks nice, tables and Markdown are not a good fit. The syntax for tables in Markdown is broken by design! AsciiDoc got it right: https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference... You can even

Java is quite far away from finally solving NullPointerException issues. Kotlin, C# or TypeScript with their compile time null checks solved it mostly. Common to these three languages is that they need null to be interoperable with older la

The same could happen with Threema. As much as I like and want to trust Threema, but the story could be repeated, even if I think, that it is not used by governments or military large-scale. Essentially every closed source crypto applicatio

From my experience a good thing to do is to set up strong static code analysis (like eslint, TypeScript strict mode, IntelliJ inspections, Sonarqube, ...) when the project begins. This helps to avoid some endless discussions and some bugs.

Great advice, especially in times where (seemingly?) many people are satisfied with pre-made answers from the internet they just copy and paste without understanding.

It is not hard but cumbersome, ugly and ruins readability when used a lot.

Java gets better with every release and is a pretty decent language today. But Kotlin feels just more consistent with less corner cases. Let me name a few things: * No checked exceptions destroying lambda expressions and leading to ar

I think Scala hast lost most of its appeal due to Kotlin. Scala has some really powerful and clean concepts, but tooling is not as good as Kotlin's. Scala has a much steeper learning curve, and Scala code can look very different depe

There is a lot more than the language/compiler what influences the results, but at least these benchmarks are closer to real world than solving math puzzles in micro benchmarks. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks&#x

I have the same experience. Once you do more with Scala than "better Java" it is easy to create a mess full of "try to be clever" code you will regret a year later. It is really hard to become a good Scala programmer, bu

I tried DocBook a long time ago. Back then the tooling was so terrible that I gave up. However, the XML syntax made sense to me, but was not fun to write. Today I'm using AsciiDoc with AsciiDoctor. The AsciiDoc syntax is as pleasant as

I mean primarily financial support, but I don't want to exclude a more direct contribution in the question. However in my concrete case it would be easier to donate than to engage directly.

After reading "Functional architecture is Ports and Adapters" [1] and using ORMs (Hibernate) for some time now, I'm wondering whether a functional approach wouldn't be better in many cases. With such an approach you woul

There is no JVM part of Kotlin coroutines, it just uses plain JVM features as every other Java program.

What is called continuations in Java is available as "coroutines" in Kotlin, today. Both terms means more or less the same, from a programmers point of view, actually Continuations are part of Kotlins coroutines. https:/&#x2

This is not a balanced argument. Spring offers a lot of helpful things and can increase productivity. But it also has it's downsides like when something is not working because all the magic behind the scenes, making you more productive
