GNU Guile was supposed to be such an ubiquitous language but AFAIK it didn't really take off.

To me the connotation of that phrase is being a numbskull, so it applies more to the fans and hangers-on than the big players. If you ever see one of those ugly cartoon ape profile pictures then you're looking at a crypto bro for sure.

How long until Musk starts posting tweets implying that he's a world-class Scala expert?

Kinda amusing how the following section is complicated by the language's casing-based visibility feature https://google.github.io/styleguide/go/decisions#initialisms

In a statically typed language, this specifically comes off to me as an artificial way to keep the total number of keywords down.

IIRC in the following, the expected type of `x` in B stops being bool (but I no longer have a Zig env set up so I can't test it). # A if (x) { ... } else { ... } # B if (x) { ... }

> I believe andrew and loris have been with zig for long enough to have their own bias and no longer be aware of it, thus I believe it's the newcomers' job to hold up the simplicity design premise now... Zig aside, that's

Something I found eyebrow-raising is that the expected type of expression `x` in `if (x) { ... }` actually changes based on what syntax is used on an `else` line that comes later.

Unless you're desperate, you want to hire someone who has capability in reserve, not someone who can only just get the job done with major help.

It sounds like an entrance requirement for joining a kids gang of BMXers and skateboarders.

The upcoming OCaml 5 is about to deliver the biggest new feature for a long time, and there are plenty more features in the pipeline, so I don't think it fits OP's spec at all.

Its future is the same as its present: niche server-side choice only used by Apple-adjacent developers. Such a squandered opportunity on Apple's part. In the early years, the Swift team talked a big game about wide industry adoption go

That was already clear when he started a smear campaign against the Thailand cave rescuer guy who didn't like his submarine idea, calling the guy a pedo.

Supporting TypeScript OOTB in any capacity was itself "appealing to the masses". Being able to use TS without the burden of setting it up was a big selling point that resulted in people giving Deno a try, particularly in the early

That's an enduring memory of mine of using pre-home-internet PCs: foraging the entire filesystem for anything novel.

Kudos for fighting the good fight, but honestly this is a losing battle. As time goes on, fewer and fewer of the people in the world using Markdown are interested in this distinction.

This would probably annoy the author of that article, but I must say that I still like the formulation: 1. Make it run. 2. Make it right (Make it correct). 3. Make it fast. ...with the observation that if you complete step 2 then it will of

I know. The story is about a crappy pack-in cable, and how it's snatching defeat from the jaws of victory regarding product sentiment.

I just used that original phrase as another way of saying 'extremely sophisticated hardware'. Didn't mean for people to get hung up on the number.

Seems like a bit of an insult to the colleagues that manage to successfully design a 50+ billion transistor GPU that their product gets messed up by something like this. Talk about the last mile.

Something I've learned from discussing computer hardware informally online over the years is that people have vastly different standards for what it means for fans to be "silent" in use. So much so that it's hardly worth

That's what USB "On The Go" mode was for I think. The 2 devices weren't peers simultaneously, but you could decide which device was in control and "using" the other one.

It's amusing to mention clarity, given the topic. Because the cargo-cult of this kind of function having return type 'int' is lack of clear thinking manifest. Int has 4-billion distinct values and all they want is three. Here

Now that I've tried it, is it just me or have they only implemented half of the feature? i.e. you can successfully visit such a link, but there's no way to create such a link yourself?

That's a welcome surprise that they've added support for the very handy "Scroll to Text Fragment" feature, as seen in Chrome. https://webkit.org/blog/13399/webkit-features-in-safari-16-1...

I've returned faulty RAM after confirming a suspicion using MemTest86 (the PassMark one), several times over the years. In that situation, it's so nice to actually have some evidence to point to (a photo of the test results screen
