I imagine that one reason why you might want to use it is if you don't like the "let's reinvent the wheel incompatibly every three years" approach from the .NET world.

> SPA makes the backend much more simpler as all the HTML rendering is not its concern anymore. That feels like creative accounting of code to me. Is the rendering really simpler, or does it merely happen in a different place?

Are you sure that something like PJAX wouldn't bring you like 80% along the way from MPAs to SPAs, as far as "interactivity and quickness" is concerned? Or did you already try that?

We were not incredibly poor, although we probably would have been considered as such by US standards (which I'm sure were quite different at the time from Czechoslovak standards). We did have to smuggle our C64 over the Iron Curtain

Let me know once people in the US stop referring to meat-filled pastry as "koláče". I was horrified to find out about that. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one either.

What exactly is a "single ingredient dish" to you? This "Pico de gallo" thing already consists of multiple ingredients -- or so Wikipedia tells me. So does salsa, if I understand it correctly. Your notion of "single

Is it really a language, though? It seems simply like an implementation of an existing language. If I make a new C compiler, you probably won't ask me for example inputs for it.

Sure. Except supporting Ukraine means funding less killing. A hundred thousand dead Russian soldiers is less killing than many hundreds of thousands of genocided Ukrainians.

There's not really a lot of difference between Algol descendants and Lisp in this case if you look at problem as one of building a projectional editor.

Anyone claiming "surely every language needs X" had better look at Riau Indonesian ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riau#Language ) first to check if that language has X. If it doesn't, then X is almost c

Multicopters are mechanically simpler and capable of hovering. Kind of a win-win. The drawback is that the fixed wing plane may have longer endurance with a battery of a given size than a multicopter would, but if your communication range i

It seems to me that this is much more dependent on the language specification rather than on the implementation of anything. In case of a parse error, you may not be able to recover correctly the parsing of any code beyond the error. Take f

Both, since one is a part of the other. The way I get it, the major asymmetry between the two cases is that the US invasion of Iraq was the initial phase of the Iraq war (which had already ended), whereas the Russian invasion of Ukraine i

The more features you add, the less (not more) common it's going to be as a runtime.

I believe that the problem is that the more features you add, the less general it's going to be (for example, add canonical exception handling and you'll almost certainly exclude Common Lisp, the advanced exception handling featur
