Trivial benchmarks where all of the significant data structures and networking are done in C++ and the tiny amount of Javascript is just passing some strings around. I guess it's "fast" if you can restrict yourself to little

> but for what it is, JavaScript is pretty damn fast already. It's fast compared to other dynamically typed language implementations but it's still very slow compared to basically all of the popular statically typed languages.

This is basically where I am at. Most libraries and applications are trivially typed even in languages with relatively poor type systems like Go and Java. The necessity, or even benefit, of weak and/or dynamic typing is extremely rare

For a trivial example, let's say I have some message type that has multiple variants with differing fields: enum Message { Action1(String, Option<Mode>), Action2(String), } Action1 and Action2 are var

I hope Go will eventually get sum types but I hope they're better than Rust's where each variant is its own type.

So the maintainer now has to tutor this guy for god knows how long until he gets it right? All three issues brought up by kazinator are reasonable grounds for ignoring the patch. Do you think that the already overworked maintainers should h

A lot of these maintainers are already overworked and don't have time to tutor every single person that wants to put kernel contributor on their resume. A lot of people have this extremely idealistic view of open source but the reality

You can't do the exact same thing in Go because Go doesn't have a way to define a sum type yet outside of generic constraints. The closest you can get is using an interface and a type switch but that won't give you exhaustiv

It's extremely common for them to discriminate against asian males as well. It was outside of a hiring context but I've had people in this sphere call me "basically white" multiple times.

Because the moment you actually write any server or business logic in Python performance drops off a cliff and it doesn't differ significantly from any of the other Python web frameworks.

The entire post is embarrassing and makes me think that Google made the correct decision. Also, it seems that people that want to change the default behaviour can simply use the TCPConn.SetNoDelay function.

Getting dual displays "working" is pretty trivial. Getting those two both working at the same time with the correct resolutions, DPI and fractional scaling will probably be close to impossible.

The JVM proponents are usually being dishonest when they compare Java/Kotlin AOT compilation to Go. They know very well that a large number of popular libraries either outright don't work or have severe restrictions when using AOT

String has had a static join method since Java 8 which was released almost 10 years ago. Your example would just be String.join("|", row).
