> It does nothing better than any of the existing mainstream languages... Why say this? Even if you don't like Go it's objectively false. What languages are you comparing it to, Java? C++?

So what's the deal with BuckleScript? The docs are really unclear on their relation and just call it a "partner project". But it's the actual compiler? Then what is Reason?

This whole library is troll and people are trolling with it. This: new Matcher().find('Reg').anyWhitespace().capture((expr) => { expr.find('Exp') }).test('Reg Exp') vs: 'Reg Exp'.mat

I didn't realize Reason was so geared towards React. Would it be foolish to use an alternative like Vue with it? What about server-side with Node?

Could anyone please compare Reason and Elm? I tried Elm for a while but felt really constrained, and strongly disliked feeling trapped in its bubble.

No need to escape the dashes btw: $ node > '02-14-1924'.match(/\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4}/) [ '02-14-1924', index: 0, input: '02-14-1924', groups: undefined ]

I know you're meme-ing, but it's a great way to put it tbh. This library struck a nerve with me today because it's a rare example of a library that's actually harmful to its intended beginner audience. The author inven

Indeed! In fact, the library author cites this as one of the "main advantages" of their library (under "Getting Started"): > As you can see one of main advantages of using this library is ability to document every lin

So... this is regular expressions for people who want to spend time learning this library instead of just learning regular expressions directly?

Sorry for not responding forever... I thought doing that would block all, while I'd still like to allow some from apps I use like Gmail and Google Calendar. Just tested with Calendar, and it turns out the allow list still allows even i

What I'd really like is an option to auto-decline all requests to allow desktop notifications.

I totally expected I'd be buying this right away, but the prices just seem outrageous. And I had no problem plunking down $1150 for an iPhone XS recently.

This is the opposite of my experience with Elm. Tried it for a while. Getting the time or a random number takes a tutorial to learn how to do because those things aren't purely functional. Then I wanted a fast lookup table, turns out

This was my first thought as well, since Apple is coming out with (supposedly) "pro-focused" new Minis very shortly.

TIL about Google Sites. TBH I'd prefer Google link tracking everywhere over popups every time I visit a la Medium.

Why not?

Well, aliases are ignored in scripts usually, but you could prepend something to the PATH so your script/exe gets found before built-ins, no? I agree, I don't see that this is a problem unique to Xonsh.

Oh gosh. TIL. Edit: I'm actually truly grateful, I'm sure this bit of knowledge saved me some of my hair in the future.

Have you considered using sshrc? https://github.com/Russell91/sshrc It lets you take basic shell config with you when you ssh. You could ensure you always had your $EDITOR set to vim and have a basic vim config ready.

I didn't finish reading all the WATs, but if these are the best WATs about Go, it must be a very consistent language. The first two, for example, aren't WATs at all. The Go book is very clear that you need to use the result of `ap
