"I shouldn't have to read code to understand comments" That's fair, but that's not universally agreed. Some say comment the "why" not the "what" because you can always read the code to understan

One minute into it, the article says, "The dmac and smac are pretty self-explanatory fields" This immediately turns off anyone reading it who doesn't know what those things mean. The thought process will be, "Oh, this a

I'm a software developer. I've been trying to replace myself with code since I started writing code in the early 80s.

They can do it in C, but Google still can't do it in JS in V8 :eyeroll:

The fact that WASM requires a JS is a marketing fail and misses what could have been a marketing opportunity to make the claim, "finally an alternative to JavaScript". In this case, this is not a non-issue. If you look at the ori

Sounds like damage control. I have to say, for a brilliant guy, andrewrk knows nothing about marketing. The fact that the Zig project can make this significant of a change to their core-value because "trust me i know what I'm

I remember traveling to Adobe in the mid-90s to exchange source-code with them, 'cause PhotoShop was MacApp based, and they had a layer working on Windows. And we traded an in-process SQL engine. I recall brining home some of the code,

I'm surprised by this article. the author genuinely believes that a language construct to benefit performance was added to the language without anyone ever running any metrics to verify. "just trust me bro", is the quote.

I'm a bit surprised at this, too.

I'm going to use this post as a reference for what I believe to be one of the least logical arguments I've ever seen on a technical forum. Congratulations.

I almost ignored this entire article because I didn't see a date at the top of the blog. No date on a blog is the first sign of something fishy. But scrolling all the way down, you can see there's a published date. Weird place t

I would want this for C, C within C. You can just write C code in a C file that runs at "compile time" to create more C code. And I want it to be built-in to Prettier, so all this happens when I press Ctrl+S to save the file.

Is anyone going to mentioned that that's not at all what Turbo Pascal looked like when it was first released? Not in 1983. The UI was significantly simpler. I remember it looking like this: https://imgur.com/EuOVL8c

The part that makes it a non-starter is that it has to be in some kind of a store (whether it's on prem via SharePoint) or the Internet. What is needed is that you can install something on the user's computer (xcopy install, msi

The decision to make Clojure JVM based and so slow to startup has slowed it's adoption to a much more significant level than anyone in the Clojure community is willing to accept.

Why is it difficult to determine what those features are 429, 432, 433, etc. How difficult would it have been to put links there so one can click on the link to see what it is. Have these people hard of hyper-text markup?

It's very clear he's looking for engagement. He submitted last back in December, too. The podcast has only been around a few months. Like dude, give it a rest. Allow stuff to build organically, too; word of mouth.

Do you want to run nodejs right inside your browser without a backend? If not, then you can just ignore it. But if you do, then this attempts to solve that problem. If you're asking what's the use case for running nodejs in the b

If you had to pick only one language, I'd pick C++ because I can always write C in C++.

CoCo was my first computer, too. The manual taught me to program. There were listing in the back pages with BASIC code with DATA statements that were the op-codes to the 6809E machine language. It did funky stuff to get you into High Res

rudeness is unacceptable, but there's also the belief that if someone is working on open-source, then any type of a complaint about the software is unwarranted. That actually itself is entitlement. No matter if open or closed source,

Cognitive decline doesn't have anything to do with it. I'll be 60 in three years, and it's much easier today for me to learn a new programming language, paradigm, API, etc, than it was twenty years ago. The reason is because
