I think Django comes close to Rails with regards to productivity. Granted, Django has slightly more overhead to get started, but Django also includes an admin interface and a built-in auth system, which Rails does not.

Job opportunities are heavily dependent on where you live (unless you're willing to move), so I would research that. You might find that e.g. C# will yield more opportunities/pay in your area. Personally I would take Python/D

What you term the "immaturity of the language" is imo a well thought put focus on simplicity. It was never Elm's intention to reach the complexity of Haskell or indeed PureScript. I think that was a sound decision.

I'm torn about this. I'm rooting for Elm and I think it currently might be the best frontend solution. I really like Evan's focus on developer UX and simplicity. This means removing things, making the language smaller and sim

How easy is it to use it outside of Rails, e.g. in Django?
249.
by erokar 8y ago
I don't get it. I work day to day with Algol-syntax languages like JavaScript and Java, but have dabbled in ML languages like Elm and Haskell. One of the things I really like about those languages is the syntax -- succinct and clear. W

Goes to show this was all about ego for Musk. Instead of being happy that all the children were rescued, his ego got bruised since they didn't use his submarine -- and he attacks the real heroes. Text book narcissistic behavior.

Many if not all of the courses on Edx has a free audit option, like this one. It gives you no certificate and often you cannot access or submit exercises.

Thanks for your answer. > Pony forces you to think about how objects can be accessed from different actors, which can sometimes make it hard to do things that seem like they would be simple, especially if you are new to the language. Can

Pony is one of the new languages that intrigue me the most. Its performance seems very good, but how would you compare its expressiveness to e.g. Python?

What other solutions are you youngsters using then? Elixir/Phoenix? Django/Python? Node? Haskell?

I agree. Django and Rails still have an advantage here.

Searle's argument is that consiousness is not a function of the program (there is no "program" in the human mind), but a function of hardware. Though just how the meat machine that is our brains produces consiousness is very

Of course I cannot know that more than I can know that any other object doesn't experience qualia -- a chair, say, or a thermostat.

by erokar 9y ago
I think Searl's central argument still stands: Computers as we know them today can only simulate the human mind but can never bee consiuos, since they cannot expereince qualia like humans and probably other animals do. I have always fo

Elixir got a lot right with regards to the infrequent developers -- the tooling and the package management is very nice and low-friction.
264.
by erokar 9y ago
Completely agree. I've tried Java/Spring, Python/Django/Flask, JS/Express/Meteor, Ruby/Rails/Sinatra and Elixir/Phoenix. The only thing I've seen that might rival Rails in productivity is Me

If i know my fellow countrymen, most people in Norway will shrug this off. That is if the news reach them at all -- I haven't seen this reported in any Norwegian mainstream media so far. We live in discouraging times.

I don't think so. I've seen Java written like Java.

I don't get the Vue hype. Sure, Vue seems nice enough, but it is concepteually very similar to React, so nothing new there. The pros of React are a smaller API and JSX instead of an added templating language (the latter being a content
