I mean, yes, technically, but is anyone's code actually breaking because of this? Who is writing SQL queries expecting them to fail because of this reason? By your definition, "backwards compatible" doesn't mean anything

It only opens the terminal by default. The key binding is to use the same shortcut to focus back to the editor.

And I'd say the average React or Java developer these days understands both pretty well. It's the default way to render a list of things in React. Java streams are also adopted quite well in my experience. I wouldn't say one

- It shows absolute pitch is not necessarily limited solely to semitone identification Why would it be? There's nothing fundamental about a semitone. It's an arbitrary division that varies across different musical systems.

Perfect pitch means that you can identify 440 Hz. Whether you call it A or slightly flat A is a matter of convention. It's like saying water melts at 0 degrees Celcius vs 33 Fahrenheit. As long as you're talking about the same tem

It would essentially involve changing the meaning of `: Type` and `as Type`. Basically, instead of ignoring type annotations at runtime, you'd have to throw when a cast fails. This would also have other implications on the language des

It's a tricky situation as a language learner. On the one hand, you've got to be polite, trying to converse with people in their native language, on the other, you don't want to waste their time just for your own language lea

Well in most statically typed languages with a VM (Java/C#), there's some sort of runtime validation In Java Object something = new Map(); String badCast = (Object) something; // This line would throw a ClassCastEx

by dhruvrajvanshi 2y ago
Right. I'm aware. My point was that even though the type system is powerful, somehow, I'm able to represent everything I need to in Kotlin's type system just fine and it feels a lot more type safe because it will throw a type

Yes, I did mention that the UX of the type errors could be improved and probably should, but once you start getting into conditional types, and nested types (which may not be fully expanded when you see the error), it gets hairy.

by dhruvrajvanshi 2y ago
I wonder about a Typescript with alternate design decisions. The type system is cool and you can do a lot of compile time metaprogramming. However, when there's a type error in computed types, it's a nightmare to visually parse

Trying to understand a big existing codebase might be more difficult than rewriting a small subset for your own use case, especially for something as trivial as a parser for a relatively simple language like protobuf.

Instead of a rewrite, why not try using AgGrid? It's a pure JS grid library that's really fast and it's got react bindings. It's even got a batch update API. I doubt that naively rewriting the app in Svelte is gonna give

Sorry for being daft, but doesn't this imply that TLB is now shared between all processes? Which means that the cost of flushing the TLB is amortized across context switches? Processes are gonna evict TLB entries from other processes a
