I've been using Typescript for over a year, and the amount of improvement in that relatively short time span has been incredible. With 2.1, Typescript shows no signs of slowing down.

You are assuming abundance is the issue. It is not.

Google Cloud gets a +1 for this. When a big corp does the right thing for its customers, they take notice.

I'm not sure why this is down voted. Just because X historically achieved A doesn't imply that achievement(X+Y) <= A, so you can't deduce the absence of a handicap from that.

Or because it had first mover advantage in its cohort.

Why are you assuming that the goal of the regimen is to produce Nobel Prizes?

News like this has nothing to do with startups or the tech scene. Or am I missing something here?

Agreed. But worth it, at the end of the day, wouldn't you say?

Can you explain the statistics behind this methodology?

If this works as advertised, this may prove to be a very useful project, that can replace numerous homegrown, half-complete implementations strewn about the internet.

Correction: I meant to say each of them get their own GC, not VM.

The Erlang VM (modified) has supported over 2M concurrent connections: https://blog.whatsapp.com/196/1-million-is-so-2011 ? Furthermore, assuming each request is mapped to an Erlang process, each of them get their own V

Having used and studied both React and Angular2, Angular2 can do certain things that React can't. Two features at the forefront of this difference are: 1) Dependency injection 2) Direct support for using observables and promises in te

They're not exactly comparable. Java's type system gets in your way. Typescript only gets in the way when you ask it to. The dev experience can be quite different.

Typings is only necessary when you cannot find the d.ts files from http://microsoft.github.io/TypeSearch/ .

Another interesting addition is discriminated union types: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/9163 This will greatly facilitate a more functional style of programming.

Can't comment on what the author used, but Mnesia can be used to build a primitive, durable MQ: http://learnyousomeerlang.com/mnesia There is also RabbitMQ, which itself is written in Erlang.

Sure. I think we're talking about different things when we say heavy. Perhaps less ambiguous phrasing would have been "frequent string manipulation."

This propagates a myth that the choice of language is the bottleneck in a complex program. Twitch hires engineers who are good enough not to be constrained by the difficulties of learning a particular language. Odds are, Twitch wasn't

I love the direct integration of async support in templates. You can extract the value of promises and observable directly in templates using the async pipe, which cuts down on a lot of boilerplate. That means your templates can directly s

For those who count themselves among the intelligent, we should not doubt that in a generation or few, our skills may also be automated away.

The fact that I was talking about a different topic aside, of course we don't expect the headlines to be balanced. The virtue of fairness is at odds with the financial benefits of controversial wording.

I went to a privileged American school where cheating was not uncommon. I watched at least two students openly cheat their way into Ivy League colleges, whose rich parents ensured they were unscathed when they were caught. I watched student

I would advise against making a prediction based on your argument. It is much easier to practice programming on one's own than it is to practice English.

I think a lot of engineers would consider it a selling point if the company gave them an opportunity to explore new technologies, so long as they are working on business goals in parallel.

I wouldn't pose this as an either/or. MOOCs, as we know them today, are the next step in the evolution of online education.
