Sorry, I don't think I have been explicit in my comment. The language of K8s, a system which is the so-called direct descendant of Borg, replaced C++ at that layer. Also, Go is strongly typed.

There you Go (pun intended). Go even replaced a low-level language like C++ and achieved the same result in the end. I don't know why I thought it's Java, probably the first Kube was initially in Java. It's even better that t

Java's checked exceptions can be considered an effect system and coupled with ADTs I suppose we can call it an algebraic effects system. I mean the domino effect in which the exception has to be handled in each method that calls that i

Isn't Java capable of the same thing now that it has algebraic data types with records + sealed classes + pattern matching? Given that Java already has a fine concurrency story, isn't OCaml a hard sell to someone that's not i

It never actually fell. I've heard that the continuity of the Byzantine Empire was assured by the Cantacuzino branch [1] that emigrated north to what we call today Romania and they played a role in the creation of the country along fre

Indeed, that's fair, I'm not sure if Java would have been the right choice in the case of cloud infrastructure. I mean, at the application level I would always pick Java over Go for something like a distributed analytics engine, s

by johnnycerberus 5y ago
Many forget the fact that the distributed operating system of the cloud has been written in Go. As much as I love C, I know its limitations and I hope it will be replaced by Zig some day, or by a simple language akin to the philosophy of Ni

Every "permissionless transaction" is an action of supplying and demanding, the "immutable ledger" is the proof that the action happened in the past. The price of Bitcoin, as the price of anything in life, is determined

When Elon was doing the leap of faith, he kind of stopped somewhere in the middle. I don't know, just saying. Parent arguments still hold.

We cannot predict future trends in technology, if we could, then Bitcoin would have today 0 value because it is boosted only by FOMO (fear of missing out) feelings, not because it is useful. In 2009, I was starting with Scala, which had fun

It wasn't missed, I still remember checking the sourceforge source circa 2009. I was not really that interested in it and I am still not. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=599852

Indeed it was (/s), that's why not even Servo has been shipped. Stop preaching programming languages without results. Because of their benevolent dictators, Linux (Linus Torvalds), Clojure (Rich Hikey), Zig (Andrew Kelley) and Pyt

EU is built on the European thought at least, it is the child of Christianity, strongly influenced by Greco-Roman world sprinkled with some Germanic austerity. No wonder why countries with Muslim minorities cannot join the Union. UN would n

Globalism is inevitable, you cannot stop it. You should rather get used to it. The fact that you get anxious by ideas penetrating your culture means that globalisation works. It is like my Romanian grandfather telling me how bankers should

Pharma companies should not profit off pandemics. It is an ethical thing to do. And beside that, I know that drug companies are heavily subsidised by state and their research is mostly done with tax-exempt money.

What is wrong with the EU handling of COVID crisis? We have vaccinated more people than the US and there was no major breakout since summer 2020. In constrast with the UK where restrictions have been draconic.

Nationalism is a new concept invented by the French. You can't say about Greece that it is/was a nation. The nationalization of Greece's city-states represents a Greek tragedy, one that culminated in economic collapse. People

There's a clear delimitation between the leader which takes decisions that impact the organisation and a project manager that barely has any skin in the game. In my experience, the one that takes decisions is not the one that manages p

It is better when others have skin in the game and you are protected from risks. The fool doesn't learn from his own mistakes, the smart one learns from his own mistakes, the wise learns from the mistakes made by others. Very wise Azur

It is a little bit bogus, I did not say that I stand by it or that I think that this is the WAY. I'm not even a Linux developer or a kernel dev, though I've done embedded programming at the beginning of my career. Just that if we

I also believe that this is a little bit hype driven but not quite. I've been talking with a Linux dev at a conference in Cluj and he said that people nowadays are not interested in Linux development as he was in high-school because th
