Hope they're able to open source some of their tech if this does come to pass.

Typing this on a Dell Precision 7530. Comes stock with Ubuntu. 128gb of ram, 4 times what Apple offers, at close to the same cost. Linux font rendering still sucks, but I may never use another Apple product again.

Agree, it's a lot easier to write correct code in Scala.

I don't know if you consider Scala mainstream, but pretty sure both Finagle and Akka were available by 2012

I've passed the bar exam. It is not a good indicator of competence. Most people pay a third party (after having paid for law school) to cram the information into their head in a short period of time. RHCE for example isn't great,

Expect to be run through the ringer. I've been rejected by companies who were using open source code I wrote.

Can you share some concrete examples of techniques?

For games that simulate a particular conflict, irregular polygons are a better option than hexes or squares. They still have the benefits of discrete movement, but allow for baking terrain related factors directly into the map, instead of

It's still probably the most well-written Rust book.

Much nicer than scala? I don't see how you can claim that if you've touched futures in both languages. Rust is a nice language for threaded programming, but the async situation is a trainwreck 4 years in the making.

Do you not need bidirectional streaming, or do they support it now? There were no examples of how to do it last I checked.

Only if you think algebraic types have nothing to do with FP, in which case you have a very idiosyncratic definition of FP.

Algebraic types without being able to conveniently destructure them is maybe half the benefit at best.

I once worked for a company that maxed out a 32 bit autoincrement primary key on a mysql table. Relational databases can hold a lot more than people give them credit for.

Kotlin doesn't even have real pattern matching. Calling it integrating FP is a sad joke.

Hell, i'm a VP at a public company and the president of my division makes 25 times what I do, never mind the average worker.

gopath, poor standardization of project layout, build processes and dependency management. I've seen people copy protobuf definitions from repo to repo because they couldn't get them building consistently from a different director

My experience of working with Go in teams is that it encourages copy-paste programming and "works on my machine" deployment problems.

The main benefit of Python is the ecosystem of libraries. Those libraries don't have type annotations. Mypy is a far cry from a real statically typed language.

I've worked in a scala shop, it was the highest performing team of developers I've ever worked with, coupled with the highest amounts of wanting to get shit done. The ecosystem around scala is great, you get to use any jvm library

If anything "CS people" are less afraid than they should be, given the demonstrated popularity of horrible retrograde languages designed by people who didn't know what they were doing.

The reason you're seeing wildly different ranges is because salary varies wildly. Speaking as a manager, I've seen 2x differences in comp for the same position and relative experience, at the same company.

You have to assume going in that unknown startup code will be a shitshow. Given the choice between a unityped shitshow and a shitshow where I can at least lean on the compiler, I know which one I'll pick every time.
