It really emphasises that the desktop client is a glorified webapp that the entire window from top to bottom is nothing but a Cloudflare error page: https://i.imgur.com/LvUvcUW.png

Well you don't really need to speculate because the normal Deno runtime (aka Deno CLI) has been around for ~5 years and you can assess the quality of work that has been put into it.

Personally I wouldn't use a full-on replacement interactive shell because I have a stacked .bashrc that I've constructed over a long time, and things I install from my package manager all come with bash_completion support etc, and

I have bookmarked/tried so many Python/Shell mashups over the years. IMHO the following is about the only one that's tasteful in terms of project scope and not going off the deep end: https://github.com/haunts

I know, that's why I mentioned the manual part. What I'm getting from this exchange is that Python is your team and no criticism can be allowed to stand.

No one should be permitted to make money from software development tooling in ways I don't approve of.

That's not particularly relevant to the nice pattern matching property I mentioned. If you need to manually write supplementary code to get the exhaustiveness safety then that's back into the realm of bog-standard defensive progra

I really like that Ruby throws NoMatchingPatternError if none of the patterns match. It's a bit like the much-acclaimed exhaustive pattern matching in static languages (though at runtime rather than compile-time, obviously) and better

More like peak memory use is higher with GC than RC and they wanted to avoid having to put twice the RAM in iPhones.

Use the editor's normal support for running a build/compile to run shellcheck with the `--format gcc` flag. Shellcheck will output in the traditional path:line:column:message format, which will be navigable like compiler errors.

Nothing wrong with that command-line flag. That's the kind of personality software can be imbued with when you don't have to care about corporate.

Sublime Text where the current style of Command Palette was created/popularised does have hierarchical menus, context menus, and keybindings with the commands. The Palette is an alternative interface for accessing the same stuff.

Doesn't seem like a good faith question because you've already made your conclusion with the second part.

It's YouTuber clowns marshalling their fanbase of teenage kids who quite literally do not have fully developed brains yet. Very embarrassing indeed.

Well there are countless obscure general-purpose languages and language implementations. What I meant by viable is that the user won't feel like a masochist because of weak tooling and library availability.

I wonder whether this will end up being a viable language for people who just want to write fast general purpose code with Python's syntax, and not write any AI/ML-related stuff.

The stdlib documentation definitely has a unique flavour. I would characterise it as "wordy".

That's neat but it's also kinda the definition of "clever code". When a later reader is going to have to pause and ask themselves what on earth is this.

Cloudflare sell domain registration "at cost", and offer free Email Routing. So that's quite possibly as cheap as it gets in the long term.

This is also evident in the extremely overused phrase "simple yet powerful" that software libraries/tools/etc use when pitching themselves. Everyone apparently thinks their own inventions are Simple Yet Powerful. http

Apparently the Grain compiler is written in ReasonML rather than plain OCaml. Isn't it a bit comedic how readily these niche things are stacked up?

Some years ago people often advocated using 120 cd/m2 for colour calibrated panels, so it could be worse.

Poor Martin Odersky was demonstrating this fusion with Scala like 15+ years ago. But he's a nice guy so I'm sure he thinks the more the merrier!

- Too many statements instead of expressions. - Lacks structural pattern-matching. - Lacks first-class sum-types (although they can be clumsily encoded as objects with "kind" properties). - Static type-checking not directly (or at
