Evidence, if any was needed, that OOP, or at least the Python variant, was never designed for metaprogramming. Give me Clojure macros any day of the week over these ugly contortions.

Just what Firefox needs in its bid to stop Chrome from becoming the new Internet Explorer - a fork.

Classic Perl. Those were the days.

But the momentum behind gradual typing in Ruby is much greater due to the input from Stripe and Shopify.

"roughly equivalent"? They're chalk and cheese to me. Python metaprogramming, anyone? Each? Blocks? Real lambdas? Don't get me started. I'm not saying you can't do it, just why would you want to when you end-up

Python to Crystal??! But Crystal is a statically compiled version of Ruby, not Python.

It's the other way round. The London wage differential is much higher than the rent differential outside London.

Yeah, can't imagine this guy's conversation on a date. Oh, wait - having a partner is an additional expense so out of the question.

Honestly, Jetbrains tout their flagship product - IntelliJ - as this top-of-the-range Java/Kotlin IDE yet they can't ship a stable product to save their lives. From constant indexing to foobared filesystem access lockups no other

One thing running your own SMTP/IMAP protects you from is faceless lockouts. My partner was locked out of her Hotmail account and no matter how much evidence she provided Microsoft's shame-faced automated system refused to give he

My point is that the WWW was a lot more than static HTML and CSS pretty soon after its inception.

So forget e-commerce? Amazon didn't do too badly and CGI was hot on the heels of HTML so I think "everyone" is a little exaggerated.

I don't really get this. Both Flutter and Xamarin are hybrid frameworks. Mixing them up just seems ..... pointless. What's there to be gained?

Blitz.js is the real contender for the Rails in JS crown not Remix or Redwood.

by cutler 5y ago
Because it's PHP, with its pseudo-Java boilerplate, not elegant, concise Ruby.

I hear ya. I perversely yearn for my days with Perl and CGI::Application. When I get up in the morning my eyes just happen to land on a stack of O'Reilly Perl books and it sets me off.

Paul Graham, founder of YC would disagree. He claimed Common Lisp was the secret weapon behind Viaweb's success.

Agreed. Immutable functional Elixir is the very opposite programming model of mutable state Ruby OOP.

M$ "embracing" Linux was like The Wicked Witch Of The West embracing Dorothy considering how soon it followed their evil Linux patent racket and funding of SCO's baseless UNIX lawsuit. Beware The Borg, all you who are too you

And to think they now own Github and NPM. The Borg is truly upon us.

This is M$ we're talking about. Are you really surprised?
893.
by cutler 5y ago
M$ never ceases to amaze regarding how low they'll go to make a dollar. A few years ago it was their infamous Linux patent racket and behid-the-scenes funding of SCO's UNIX lawsuit. Now they're loan sharking. I've also b

You're not alone. Flex and grid are so complex you need to be full-time front-end to master them. The old complexity has been replaced by something even more complex.

If you don't mind diffing your .spacemacs and re-customising your <theme>.el every time you update.

Don't you see the whole problem is personality politics. If more voters understood the economic consequences of Brexit it would have died a death.

There are people in Cornish fishing villages decimated by Brexit who would vote the same again. Don't underestimate the British island fortress mentality.

Amen. The great British public still have their heads in the sand in the wake of lorry driver shortages, nursing staff shortages and doctor shortages. You have to laugh or tear your hair out when the Home Office offers a 3-month reprieve ho

Spacemacs seems to be dead. 0.300 has been promised for years but still hasn't gone stable.

After experiencing Sam Aaron's Overtone - a Clojure REPL for SuperCollider - this does not exactly inspire: d1 >> play(P["x( x) "].palindrome().zip("---[--]").zip(P[" o "].amen()))
