> Rust is about decreasing unsafetyness or whatever the correct word for that is. I think the word you're looking for is "safety". Safety is inherently relative and mostly about risk management. There's no such thing

As someone watching from the sidelines... maybe it's the cynic in me, but I think you're giving too much credit to the "but I don't have safety problems" folk. Judging by how defensive they get, it's just a p

Too late to edit but, further down the rabbit hole: improvising over my Lydian recording with Lydian melody didn't work at all. My ear wanted to hear the mode a major 3rd up (Aeolian) or a minor 3rd down which is, perhaps unsurprisingl

I can't help but hear the iii as i, making the progression seem more like "viº || i v ii III | i IV VII" to my ears, i.e. Dorian. Which is a very nice progression by the way :) EDIT: Now that I think of it, it might actually

I've been following Rust since way before 1.0 and one of my fears when 1.0 was announced was that it seemed rushed. On the other hand, I completely understood the need for stabilization for people that actually use Rust in production (

> in terms of speed That's the point. Most applications don't need speed, and most that need it can offload speed-critical code with no significant drawbacks. The web is fast enough for 99% of use cases.

I'm mainly an app developer that transitioned (a long time ago) from native to web apps, tired of code duplication. I'm well aware of other options. The web comes with its warts, but I've yet to see an app platform as ergonom

I've spent a few minutes digging around the repo and I still don't know what this does or how it works. There doesn't seem to be an obvious library "entry point" from where to start understanding the system. Where a

No I didn't miss it, I just don't think that duality is inherent to OOP and is pretty much a byproduct of OOP languages being imperative, mutable and referential, which makes OP conflate all those properties. What do you think pre

That doesn't look like React, render() takes what looks like props and state. Is this a similar framework to React, or just poorly-written React?
946.
by kaoD 10y ago
Plus React still encourages the traditional separation: - Model is props/state. - View is render(). - Controller is everything else (lifecycle, handlers, etc.) IMHO it's also best-practice to separate view from presentation using

You're nitpicking. GP said: > If objects are mutable then the order of execution matters, and you have to trust the programmer to get the data flow and control flow to agree My point is that, even in FP, as soon as you hit sequentia

It's not an example of evaluation order because we weren't discussing evaluation order. GP said: > If objects are mutable then the order of execution matters, and you have to trust the programmer to get the data flow and contro

> In OO the core concept is the mutable object. I disagree here. In OOP the core concept is the object (whether mutable or not) understood as a set of data and accompanying functions which operate on it. This is where OOP and FP collide:

I think you're being downvoted due to strawman ([s]he praised documenting concepts, not the documentation as a whole) but you're right though. I've never dived into my toolchain code (due to missing or frugal documentation) m

What Clojure excels at (expressive data structure walking/manipulation) is, in my experience, seldom used in typical frontend programming, often taken care by underlying frameworks like React. JSX works fine, looks like HTML, and Cljs

But it isn't. Machine code is for computers, assembly for humans. Although assembly is machine code represented with mnemonics, they're not the same: assemblers take assembly and produce machine code.
