The lack of any Smalltalk or Lisp machine examples stands out to me. I guess those were always niche. But still, would be nice to consider adding for completeness. On an unrelated note, I've always loved the look of the NeXTSTEP deskto

The single state example the author provides in React seems more like a poor choice of data structure, if anything. I was expecting something more concrete or intricate, like "I want to interface with something that bangs on objects an

> Is backwards compat a thing on osx? It really depends. I managed to get a universal intel 32/64-bit app compiled on OS X 10.5 run on Catalina, which is 10.15. But it was a very unremarkable app. Just a simple NSWindow and label. N

On my personal computer and projects I always use Podman. There is even a fancy web app if people desperately want a cool icon on their menu bar, though it pales in comparison to Docker Desktop in features. (For instance, it's not able

> Lisp communities care more about syntactic extensibility than performance, etc. Huh? Are SBCL maintainers SIMDifying chunks of their CL implementation, improving static type checking and inference, improving numeric performance, and im

Three years ago I had passing interest in GNUstep, and in the past there have already been demos of so-called "Renaissance apps", which can compile against either AppKit or GNUstep. The GNU Mail program is one such program. Wait t

That is not my experience having to deal with a Python codebase for the first time in my life recently. I do not enjoy attempting to understand the magical annotations everywhere, the terse, cryptic syntax of list comprehensions, random syn

To be fair, you could always surround micropython in quotes so that Google knows to only show results containing the keyword "micropython". Only caveat is that Google will still show you whatever it wants in case no results contai

Heh, I guess old habits die hard. I first began using Emacs on a Mac keyboard, so now I am too used to it. I guess my rant is more of a wish for Framework or some other manufacturer to offer this kind of layout, without needing a software s

As petty as this may sound, I really don't like it when laptops arrange their modifier keys as Control-Fn-Super-Meta. My Macbook has the layout Fn-Control-Meta-Super, which makes Emacs very nice to use. Every time I use a "standar

I do not use C# (in fact, I do my best to avoid Microsoft products). But I can tell you that there are obvious workarounds C# employs to work around its lackluster GC. Stack allocation and spans immediately come to mind. As far as I know, J

As another Clojure programmer, I say you should care about developments in Java. After all, the Java module system is precisely why classes became minefields with clojure.core/bean -- illegal reflective accesses and what not. As some

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. Are people disagreeing that manual memory management adds overhead compared to GC'd languages for prototyping? I'm expecting my own comment to be downvoted as well, so I'll give

I use re-frame, but you cannot deny that class components being deprecated is going to be pure trouble for re-frame. Re-frame relies on the reagent library's Reaction interface. While re-frame does not depend on anything else in the re

One thing I find strange about the new documentation is how React.createElement is considered a "legacy API". Doesn't JSX transpile into calls to that function anyway? This worries me a bit because some React wrappers for Clo
