I know of two use cases for this system: 1. There are races of cheap cars in UK, the prices of cars are kept low because everyone has to declare car value and anyone can buy it at said price (this is intended to keep the prices low). 2. I d

Gold is relatively common, it's just that most mines were mined completely or to the point where further exploration was not economically viable, so few were preserved, though many mines that we have been used recently for other minera

Conceptually, you can consider LLVM IR to be such language, and there are people who use it that way.

We have Rust now (which is also coming to Js and Python), and that's coming to desktop right now. Other native languages will follow. Also both Python and Js have some solution (webworkers and subinterpreters) that will eventually beco

If all you do is "find records within x miles from lat,lon", solr/ES is the best solution. I think it can match a shape too.

It's faster, but misses tons of features, starting with geosearch. Hopefully they will come with wider use.

You will immediately find that people use version control differently and "undo" means different things for them, therefore you have either: a) 50 variants of "undo" b) one official undo, but "here we use git foo&qu

True. However this mix of C and Perl works. I remember early days of git and whenever someone tried to bring Mercurial (or something else), the answer for any non-trivial "how do I do X" in git was "here are some magic comman

Python is very strict about type checking, it just does it at runtime. The next step is Idris, where you define starting and desired type and start interactive shell to figure out right way to get there.

I haven't tried but use libicu (icu). Split text into graphemes and remove anything starting with codepoints that has Zsey script. There should be swift bindings.

You are looking at it from operational point of view. As a developer I care about different things: 1.Ops side is someone else problem. AWS takes care of that, so it just works. Otherwise, ops take care of that, so I also don't care. 2

True, it will take time. Tauri/Dioxus and others are still new and far from being mature. If you want to deliver project right now, Rust is not there, but moving in the right direction quickly.

If you are writing a web application, as many people do, they are direct competitors, as you could easily use either one of them (or many others) and get the job done. And for many people in this case developer experience is 10x more impor

Python is working on removing GIL (I am not sure about timeframe) and will have subinterpreters - the last one will come in 3.13 and solves the thread problem.
