In almost every instance I see a function in a statically typed language that should return a sum type the developers inevitably collapse that into a single type eg. we're going to return the number of results and -1 is a sentinel valu

Where are Ada and Rust mentioned in that link? The top listed down to Ruby in that link by general failure seem to be: Scala, Perl, Clojure/PHP (tied), Haskell/Go (tied), TypeScript, Ruby.

Re-reading the original post I see what you mean now. But Clojure definitely fits the first part of the definition by compiling your methods instantly as you're writing them in the repl. For the second part I'm not aware of a prom

Only change is that you have to tell the compiler that 'undef-fn' exists but you don't have to provide an implementation. So, before all of that just do (def undef-fn) It should work after that.

Almost no contrast on the year. Clicking the year doesn't change the year in (either) textbox but scrolls a different section. Month 'highlighting' overlaps with adjacent months including picking January which highlights both

My boss told me at one point that he showed up to work that day to chew bubble gum and kick ass but because of the supply chain shortages he was unable to procure bubble gum. By the power of logic I was able to conclude the only viable opti

My main complaint about this new feature is that it has such poor conceptual clarity that people already familiar with Java will almost always misinterpret what is happening in exactly the same way. I've seen people post similar commen

Vararg support in interop and type creation (deftype/defprotocol) seems like a reasonable ask.

People tend to evaluate these things based on what cool and neat things they can do it with. Not whether telling people they need to learn Haskell before they can update what would've been a 30 line configuration file on the project th

Not frontend but I use them extensively now in backend + REST endpoints. I still think they are necessary to prevent having to hotfix builds when something breaks with a new feature, however I don't think they are purely good. Too many

You get a compilation error if you try that.

I could be missing something but my example does as well since it's a method level generic: Name nameKey = ...; Age ageKey = ...; Optional<String> name = db.get(nameKey); Optional<Integer> age = db.get(ageKey);

How is this different from what you can do in Java? interface Key<V> { ... } class Name extends Key<String> { ... } class Age extends Key<Integer> { ... } interface DB { public <V> Optional<V> ge

Ligatures caught on because users like 'clean' designs where 'clean' means 'the removal of affordances which are not needed by frequent users but are useful to new users'. Your example doesn't make any sen

You say you disagree with the thesis about shepherding but the entire rest of your post reads like a rediscovery of this blog's main point.

Allowing me to bikeshed for a second, was the progress bar a stylistic choice on this blog or part of some default styling? I keep seeing it pop up on random sites and I can't help but think people are developing on browsers that elide

"Firefox Now Sends Your Address Bar Keystrokes to Mozilla like it already did for Google but only if you had search suggestions turned on in the address bar" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

I still use a split address bar and search bar with "Show search suggestions in the address bar" toggled off, so until this version the address bar suggestions were only from bookmarks and history items.

You're right. I clicked through to the (two) tweet threads for rationale and didn't scroll far enough in the git thread.

This github links to a twitter thread about rationale for the change which mentions a sexist joke that was in the ruby mailing lists but doesn't link to it. I feel like I've read entire news articles about kinds of events like the

You want this new language to implement a particular set of features in a similar way to a specific, named feature from Scala which they themselves are moving away from in 3.0?
