Your head of government appointed a member of that commission, though. For better or worse, it's similar to that same head of government being appointed by the people you actually voted for in a parliamentary system (but two steps remo

Here's the most basic error handling to implement, which I learned from studying FParsec: 1. Keep a collection of errors in the stream. It represents errors at the current position. 2. Clear all errors when input is consumed. 3. When a

What variability? Lua can be easily sandboxed to not take any inputs: Running it would express the same manifest. And most Lua configurations would still read declaratively unless they needed extra the complexity. I just think it's a s

I'm excited to check it out, but why does this use a .toml file when Lua was already designed for configuration files? Why isn't it just a Lua script?

To be fair, Mozilla's org naming has proven itself confusing. Half my HN karma must be pointing out the difference between the Foundation and the Corporation when people talk about "donating to Firefox".

The build system is exactly the same as C#, MSBuild with its .NET SDK, and syntax and community are entirely subjective; F# has the least weirdo community I've personally seen for an FP language. Weak arguments to say the least. I&#x27

Yes mixing is just like with VB.NET. When mixing, you often write business logic as self-contained F# libraries with a C#-friendly API; and use C# to integrate them with whatever imperative, reflection-heavy and DI-heavy frameworks .NET is

You're confusing covariance itself with having covariant mutable collections. The former is a great feature, the latter a design mistake that makes the type system unsound.

We're most of the way there with the switch to web apps and their native wrappers, even Microsoft isn't using their own UI toolkits anymore. The only segments left targeting Windows as a platform are games, replacements/exten

Yeah City is the only strong one, I just think it would take a lot of work to turn these generic themes into actual franchises capable of holding a large game studio afloat. Hence why TT mostly sticks to third-party licenses. Undercover mig

Which means the Corporation's profits flow upwards to the Foundation. But donations to the latter can't easily flow downwards to a for-profit.
