I would argue that the language will benefit from having more diverse feedback.

Lots (and I mean, lots!) of automated tests, until you have 95%+ coverage.

Even if this is supposed to be funny (I can't tell, so I think you may have failed if so), I'd like to correct you and say that what makes Gentoo tick doesn't hinge on GNU at all. We can run on different kernels, different li

I actually tried to upload my 1800 lines out of output, and GitHub fails to parse it. Was thinking exactly the same thing wrt keyservers.

We use Jira, GitLab and Slack in our agile teams at work. I've written some automation that listens to GitLab webhooks and (a) announces new Merge Requests in the #team-review channel, which all team members are in, and (b) creates sub

I've started using this a few months ago on my mail server that mostly just forwards stuff to GMail, and it's been really good. It catches (and rejects) most of the bad stuff before it even ends up in GMail's filters and, mor

I think Debian's long release cycles don't make much sense in this day and age. To me, a rolling release model makes much more sense, especially in this world where security updates are being done constantly, and are generally foc

But isn't it true that some of the things you ended up doing would make sense for LLVM, or would most of them be invalidated by the kinds of optimization passes that are common in LLVM? E.g. stuff like making the in-memory IR represent

Nice story. I have similar feelings about my own attempt, Runa ( https://github.com/djc/runa ), in particular about just how large a language (ecosystem) has to be in order to be viable to a few more people. Still, just

I was a Mercurial crew member for a few years (2008 to I don't know) and was very happy to be able to learn from Matt in his role as BDFL. His principled stance against layering violations and his policy to require really small commits

This is awesome! I have had a Let's Encrypt private beta email sitting in my email for a while, but didn't want to install the client because it has so many dependencies. Are you sure it does all the proper SSL verification, that

I completed CS, but failed lots of courses the first time around. I think I did some exams 5 times before I passed (this might be easier in Dutch universities than in the US system). I put off my Master's thesis for a few years while I

I don't really understand why important targets like x86/x86-64 and ARM don't appear at all in the release notes. It seems unlikely that no work at all was done for them...

I tried to package and run Seafile, but it was kind of complex, and under-documented. Also, the first time I got it to run on my server, it ran my Linux server into the ground (IIRC it kept the CPU so busy that I couldn't do anything t

I don't really understand this. "Private Cloud", to me, means a cloud that only I have access too. If you actually have access to my infrastructure, what's "private" about it?

I have some experience with the Mercurial code base, which I thought was pretty well engineered. It's not PEP 8, though, so that makes it slightly idiosyncratic. Might make an interesting comparison with Bazaar, though!

Those who like this might also like my language project, Runa: A Python-like systems programming language. This means that the design borrows as much from Python as makes sense in the context of a statically-typed, compiled language, and tr
