It's not really dynamic typing, because it's happening at compile time. Really type providers are just a specific, restricted form of code generation.

I mostly agree. It's a little hard for me to remember how I started because I'm almost fully self-taught and I never restricted myself like that. I think it's best to start people off with a friendly and helpful but minimal e

This is an argument against programming by autocomplete, not an argument against programming with IDEs. IDEs make this method of programming possible , but they don't make it mandatory. The primary thing I use autocomplete for is to i

I don’t know if it’s Go that’s been that influence more or if it’s the generally increasing profile of functional programming languages (especially JavaScript!) which have always taken a more minimal approach to features.

You can check this fairly easily with https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords . It's not exhaustive obviously but it's something. 1Password vaults are also encrypted with a separate secret key that is generated locall

1Password vaults are encrypted end-to-end, their database would not be worth nearly that much. It's a bunch of worthless data. A successful hack of 1Password would probably require pushing bad client updates. Besides which bug bounties

Hmmm, I don't know that their sales are shrinking. They're definitely increasing their margin on the higher-end devices though.

It’s a good point. UI is a situation where the classic OOP-style frameworks work really well when they’re carefully designed. I think we’re still waiting on a model for doing that with FP that doesn’t rely on passing state deep down into an

I will say plainly that I think there are situations in which mutability offers more elegant solutions than immutability, but I think most languages that offer it do it badly. I’m most experienced programming the Erlang platform via Elixir,

There's a lot to think about in your comments in this thread but I have a nitpick about functional programming style here. > In fact maybe it's nicer to have that implicit state strewn everywhere instead of having to carry arou

But it's not security theater. Sandboxing and strong isolation is one of the oldest techniques around for increasing security. iOS has the least malware of any OS. The security measures it contains would appear to be extremely good at

by jolux 5y ago
Security is not moot just because state actors can break it, that's basically expected. The idea is to give everyone below the level of a state a harder time.

Well, it should support go to implementation too.

Yeah, except I've tried it in CLion with the plugin, and it doesn't work.

I believe Maven supports this, but I don't know if it's turnkey like cargo docs.

The bigger problem is that neither rust-analyzer nor IntelliJ Rust currently support go-to-definition for trait methods. They will just give you a popup with all the overloads. I understand this is being worked on with Chalk but it's q

And Elixir/Erlang is actually more imperative and stateful than some other functional languages, because of the process model. Sending messages imposes an ordering on the receiver's state. One way you can think of a mailbox is as

If we ever lose a war to a superpower you can bet that will happen to us. What other entity are you imagining would enforce such a punishment now?
