Oh, I know. Elm is far more elegant in that regard. But just because I have to "switch on" exhaustiveness checks doesn't mean they don't exist.

by dahauns 9y ago
Hm? Typescript actually uses the same mechanism for exhaustiveness checking as flow (like your link describes).
334.
by dahauns 9y ago
I know TS discriminated unions may not be the most elegant construct in the world, but in what way is the check via the never type (as a return or assertion parameter after the switch) not an exhaustiveness check?
335.
by dahauns 9y ago
Don't underestimate Typescript. Sure, it's somewhat restricted by the "superset of JS" property, but you still get stuff like ADTs with exhaustiveness checking.

Sorry, but I'd contest that remark, at least for Smalltalk. It only has the best autocomplete/introspection for people who have never worked with modern statically typed languages/IDEs and/or significantly large projects

I agree with 1. and am not averse to it in principle, but in this kind of scenario, opt- out is simply a bad idea. The security and privacy implications in many scenarios are just too big. And assurances that no personal data will be col

C'mon. Yandex is older than Google. It's short-sighted and actually rather arrogant to see those platforms like "look at them, how cute, they're playing information society like the grown-ups!".

No. 'Foreigners' very likely simply means 'foreigners' here. Japanese society is incredibly xenophobic and has quite well-known problems with casual, socially accepted racism. https://www.japantimes.co.jp&#x

I wouldn't consider engineers who think they "just write good code" and won't make those mistakes "advanced" or on a higher level. They have yet to learn one of the most important lessons.

True to an extent - parts of J8 are available with lower API levels as well. But then there's Kotlin, which doesn't have these restrictions.
