So, I think the main reasons are - - Lark is already very fast. It's a lot easier to optimize something that takes 3 minutes :) - There is still some Python code that is being run. For example, in the tree constructor. That can be solv

It seems people here are really interested in alternatives to SQL. So perhaps you'd also like to have a look at https://github.com/erezsh/Preql (Same name, same goal, different approach, and already working)

This is breaking news, and not yet confirmed. And yet everyone even slightly tech-related in Israel is currently talking about this. It even sparked intense arguments in some security related forums that I shall not name. To say "nobod

Prismata is a little known online card game with very simple rules but it's incredibly hard to master. The community is pretty small, but active enough that you can usually find an opponent if you wait a few minutes. (But try to beat t

Looks like a great start. I'd love to see a feature that says where travelers are going to be, not just where they are. Also, a list of interests / desired activities, so I can see what we have in common.

Thanks! I'm planning to make a short youtube video that shows how to use it. The user interface is open-ended, which I consider a strength, but it means not all the uses are immediately obvious. Things I'm thinking of adding: - Al

Yeah, and let me tell you, it's an absolute nightmare to get to work when you need two features that weren't written to compile at the same time. I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad idea. Just that it isn't a repl

I'll rephrase it - programming is the only field I know deeply enough to be deeply impressed by the accomplishments I'm seeing. I'm sure I interact with well designed entities all the time, without even knowing it. One of the

"Ever" is a tough one but .. Python is still the best-designed language I ever used, warts and all. It's often grouped with Javascript because they're both interpreted and "duck-typed", but imho the gap betwee

What if I'm feeling cynical about humankind but for very different reasons? Like historical trajectory, discrepancy of growth between technology and culture, or even cynical about the very idea of life?

Just because you code like it's the 90s doesn't mean everyone else has to. But I'm pretty sure even in the 90s everyone had word-wrap, so the 72 columns thingy never really made sense for texts that don't have indentatio

Exactly. They're trying to phrase it like a philosophical non-judgemental distinction. But if it contains no judgement, then what's the point? In my view, the whole thing is a fallacy. Freedom is always in degrees. I can't ta

If you're using a good parser, switching between begin-end and curlies should be a one minute job. Now, updating the tests and the library code.. that's a different story.

I actually have a prototype of something like that, built on top of Lark. It's still far from being complete or user friendly, but I'm already successfully transpiling a subset of Python to Javascript. It still needs a lot of hand

It's a good start, but there are many other differences. a[i] can mean getattr (but usually not), and can throw a KeyError. Similarly, a.b may return null if it doesn't exist, while in Python it will throw an AttributeError. You m
