As a user land Node developer I’ve had tons of problems with GYP and packages I install trying to use it. It absolutely leaks into the developer experience.

You’re completely misinterpreting the mask situation. Of course they say there’s no evidence that a mask will protect YOU. Masks aren’t supposed to protect YOU. They prevent YOU transmitting the virus to OTHERS. So of course it doesn’t redu

Yeah the big problems with Dialyzer are that it can be slow at times and that the error messages are not great. However, a lot of the error messages are the same esoteric messages, and you can get used to debugging them when you know what t

It depends on what you are struggling with. If you want formal type documentation and some decent type checking, Dialyzer is pretty good. That’s really the only solution for Elixir. If you want full static type checking, there is https:&#x

For most people, the standout change here will be the addition of `config/runtime.exs`, which is SUPER exciting! Before, runtime configuration was only available in “releases”, which is Elixir’s packaged tarball for deployments. All ot

Aren't there already elixirc hooks which have been in place for a while now? Are there new ones as of recently?

Can you explain what you mean about module naming? I’ve done a good amount of Elixir, and I’m puzzled because I don’t know what you are referring to at all. Most libraries and frameworks I’ve used enforce things on your modules via behavior

Generally it's because Coc has completion, snippets, and pretty much everything from the regular VSCode version of the extension built-in, so Coc can replace multiple plugins, and it works very well.

I'm also not personally a fan of the model that Coc takes (although it is impressive tech). Besides adding a Node dependency, Coc extensions are basically ported VSCode extensions with some changes necessary to make them work with Coc.

I keep seeing Nim and it looks really productive and very interesting! Does anyone know how it compares to Zig?

It’s not likely that any university is going to teach masters classes in JavaScript, that’s for sure. So you’d have to use a different language than JS anyway. Advanced topics you would learn like ML, computer vision, distributed systems, b

I agree. Having used reactive Java and the Elixir/OTP model of message passing, I can safely say that I'd never go back to reactive Java unless I was forced to. It feels like you are fighting the language the whole time.

- VSCode is open source, so I'm not sure how that constitutes lock in. Switching text editors is pretty easy. - GitHub has some special things like issues and pull requests but in general you can just switch your origin URL to another

Hey, just a friendly Elixir user here! Could you explain why you think that maps vs. structs is a pain point? I found this interesting because I personally really like how they are so similar, because you can almost always manipulate a stru

One very cool feature of Zig is that it supports calling async/await from any function [1], not just async functions, which avoids the famous function coloring problem altogether. [1] https://ziglang.org/#Concurrency-vi

As much as I agree with you when it comes to pretty much anything else, I have to draw a line when it comes to conspiracy theories which are undeniably false such as anti-vaccination ones, which harm others who cannot medically get vaccinat

I have no problem with conspiracy theories, or people talking about them. What I do have a problem with is the general category of misinformation/conspiracy theories which hurt or endanger others. For instance, for every person who doe

I believe they (and the CDC) are switching their stance on masks because they didn't want people wearing masks to have a false sense of security. Now, it's getting bad enough that the benefits of people wearing masks and not infec

Because this is not the time for conspiracy theories. People talking about the earth being flat doesn't really hurt anyone. People believing conspiracy theories about a global pandemic can be seriously dangerous.
