Same thing was with random turbopascal libraries and, later, Delphi’s vcl controls. Damn Borland with their in-between library version incompatibilities. To this day I think it was the reason of their downfall. > which taught me basic wi

Nice. I hope that eventually they will force app stores to allow users to resell/inherit/gift digital goods such as apps. If I can sell something physical that I don't need anymore, I should be able to do so with the things I

Ahh, old one "anyone who disagrees with me is a Russian state sponsored troll". If he had just written - compliance, we cannot work with sanctioned entities, that would be fine and understandable.

Idk, I feel it's missing really useful convenience stuff that exists here and there... Examples, from the top of my head: 1. JOIN USING, for databases that support it. In some databases you can replace FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.c1 =

The problem in this case is not the potential performance bottleneck, but the bad ergonomics for a dev, that leads to the complain. The rest is consequence. And to me it looks like pure language/stdlib problem. Like for me, the propose

Sedans are useless. I consider them car evolution dead end. They take as much road space as their counterparts, but carry less. Hatchback, universal, minivan, suvs are much more practical.
