Kotlin heavily uses the inline keyword basically everywhere, to get rid of lamdba overhead for functions like map. Basically every stdlib and 3rd part library function that takes a lamdba is inlined. In general it's a performance ben

Npm has weak security boundaries. Basically any dependency can (used to?) run any script with the develop permissions on install. JVM and python package managers don't do this. Of course in all ecosystems once you actually run the code

You can, you need to buy a codec from the Microsoft store for $1 or local equivalent. Most people won't know this.

Out of curiosity, why was RBS so poorly executed and adopted?

It was 64-bit Windows versions, 16 bit was never supported not even on XP 64-bit. I think W8 was the first 64-bit only Windows.

Waterfall with short iteration time is not possible by definition. You might as well say agile is still waterfall, what are sprints if not waterfall with a 2 week iteration time. And Kanbal is just a collection of indepent waterfalls... It&

No, the MIT license is short exactly because it has so little restrictions. You simply can't encode the desired result of GPL into 160 words like MIT can.

Note that your docs specifically mentions parquet was supported, but we found out the hard way some specific features turned out not to be supported with WASM + parquet. I did a quick glance at your docs and could not find references to tha

My company tried DuckDB-WASM + parquet + S3 a few months ago but we ended up stripping it all out and replacing it with a boring REST API. On paper it seemed like a great fit, but it turned out the WASM build doesn't have feature-parit

There's an extremely large difference in that a JSON deserialization vulnerability is almost always a bug in the library. JSON is not an inherently insecure format. XML is so complex that a 100% bug-free compliant library is inherently

This is a safety standards issue not a "software" issue. Standards for airplane software are very high Most planes have been fly-by-wire for decades and aren't regularly falling out of the sky

Almost none of this is in the JVM. Escape analysis is extremely limited on the standard JVM, and it's one of GraalVM's "enterprise" features. You have to pay for it.

Interesting, I mostly work in JVM, and am always impressed how much more advanced feature-wise the .NET runtime is. Won't this potentially cause stack overflows in programs that ran fine in older versions though?

There's no legitimate case for that since PSD2 (mandatory since 2020). Are you not confused by that? PSD2 doesn't share your credentials. I'm an European and have never needed to use nor encountered those services.

Waiting 6 months to upgrade a dependency seems crazy, that's definitely not a thing in other languages or maybe companies. (It might be due to priorization, but not due to some rule of thumb) In the JVM ecosystem it's quite common

No, for the same reason slingshotting on a planetary body now has no significant effect on it. The mass difference is too enormous.

An open source project should also use its resources effectively. There is always the possibility for a community fork.
