Pretty snarky and useless comment. It is clear I mean also, for example, noot use BW for that.

I think the critique here is not directed to 1 individual, the guy who actually wrotw the code. That would be ok, can happen. Here we are talking about the most valued company in the world, which hopefully has many architects, designers and

What's wrong with checking for updates upon start once (and cache per day) For me that would also be wrong, if I cannot disable it in the configuration. I do bot want to extend startup time.

Yes. I known at least one Motorola phone which had a co-processor for Java (not Jazelle)

No. There where Motorola phones with Motorola processors with Java Co-Processor. Not Jazelle.

AFAIK, one reason is that if you use "eval()" anywhere you need already a whole python compiler shipped with your program. So, compile is not different as shipping the code with the interpreter.

When the RISC processors were available (for the same reason RISC started to grow) it was better to just compile to ASM.

Wait. It was pretty well known how to make compilers for Lisp, and they were not bad. There were some little parts of some lisps (number tower, overflow to bignum, rationals) which was problematic (and still is today, if you do not have cus

I understand that is the reason Lisp Machines were dropped (even in the time where Lisp was still a very good seen language). At least I understand so in the SICP videos, like in 1986 it was already clear it was much better to compile to AS

Well, runing python on Raspian, you could toggle a pin at maximum a couple of KHz, not near the 2 MHz you can do with this project. Also it claims predictability, so I assume the time jitter is much less, which is a very important parameter

Well it really does not run CPython, but CPython bytecode, compiled down to an assembler. Granted, a very specific, tailored assembler, but still. Anyway, the project is mega-cool, and very useful (in some specific applications). Is just th

I saw always intel as a HW company making terribly bad SW. Anywhere I saw intel SW I would run away. Lately I used a big open source library from them, which is standard in the embedded space. Work great, but if you look the code you will b

If you parse things with structure, and the structure is unknown in advance. In C(++) you have to generate all dynamically, and is very complex. In other systems, you can just read the object, and the structure comes with it.

Yes. Regex tend to become rather fast write only. One solution is commenting, but is still complex. What I like to do now (in C) is define parts of it. Just a crude example to get the idea: // STRing: matches anything inside

I disagree. First of all, you can write a compiler for any existing language. But second, inhave experience writing compilers and interpreters. For me the hardest was always to give good information/feedback on errors. Because the comp

It is pseudoscience, as they speak as if it was science (made categorical affirmations of what is better and worst for the education), but there is not science behind it. The cult is more controversial. But as long as people believe somethi

I second this motion. Technology is just a tool. It can be wisely used or not. Just forbidding it, is not wise in my opinion. You have to be careful to use it properly, or course. Also let me drop the thought here, that Rudolf Steiner, like
