> Perhaps the problem is that static typing is confused with how some languages implement it. Most of the time what people hate with static languages is type annotations. What will blow their minds is a language that is both a) type safe

They don't /solve/ problems but they sure as hell help in solving them. No need to throw everything out just because it isn't a silver bullet.

> Maybe Python 4 will be properly compatible with Python 2?? That'd be wild. What do you call something that is even MORE backward compatible? Going retro.

Python isn't "new".

It's quite frustrating that the illogical latch onto morsels/islands of logic that are convenient for their agenda. You can pick and choose your religion, but you can't pick and choose with logic.

I think that's exactly it. The groundwork for "complex" features must already be there in some sense, maybe through mutations or hitchhiking. The last mutation is probably like flipping the on-off boolean. Or maybe something

Couldn't you just statically analyze the binaries to check for calls to barred functions?

Anyone know what really popular apps would be affected by this?

Not that I disagree with you but I don't think we, collectively, are convinced that we're destroying the Earth. Some people are really dense and will continue to deny well into their graves.

Now that I'm on the functional side of things, I can say confidently to my past self and all the "OOP but never functional" practitioners out there... Learn more about this concept. Make illegal states unrepresentable in your

Wasn't RealPlayer the fore-front of streaming technology at some point? And then they never innovated and just stayed there...? Their installer had so much extra shit in it...

I think it depends on the... good-will (?) of the crowd. Like if both sides are willing to engage in reasoned debates, I don't see anything wrong with dissent. But if one side is trolling or won't engage in good faith, then I woul

I had the pleasure of attending one of her talks at a conference and she was one of the more entertaining, engaged, and articulate speakers there. Glad to have come across her work again here!

There's no way a provision as "nice" as this would go through. Of course lawmakers want ways to sneak things in. Oh, what are those last few pages you added? Never you mind, those are tertiary. This is all in the name of prot

Presumably the idea itself has merit? I don't know, but I agree with you that this is a good question.

I dunno, I'm not totally sold... Often times I've worked with people who I pretty much thought were bad engineers and they were the most boisterous. I'm not saying being boisterous in itself is bad, but it's like it was

What institutional failure led to this? It seems like this has been a long time coming. Why has the leadership of the area allowed this to happen?
