Here's a static check Rust's Box<T> offers over C++'s std::unique_ptr<T>. The following program is obviously incorrect to someone familiar with smart pointers. The code compiles without error, and the program cras

An approximate 20% reduction in bandwidth looks significant to me. I think the problem here is that the chart uses a linear scale instead of a logarithmic scale. Looking at the data, I'm inclined to agree that not much CPU is saved, bu

Until recently (2023), the type inference was very weak and did not work with higher-order functions (map, filter, reduce, etc.). As a result, Typed Clojure was practically unusable for most applications. That has changed as of last year. F

Homebrew has a Linux variant, but I assume almost nobody uses it. Personally use a Mac with Nix, and so do many of my coworkers. Assuming Homebrew, even for a Mac user, leaves a bad impression on me.

JSX syntax doesn't change every month either. React itself, as a library, has a great deal of backwards compatibility. What does churn is the tooling (e.g. abandoning Webpack for Vite). But the actual API and syntax has remained virt

How does this avoid Cgo? In the case of Ltk (FFI-free, Common Lisp bindings for Tcl/Tk), I know that the library communicates strings to a Tcl interpreter. This means no FFI is involved, but it does mean the user must have Tcl -- speci

More importantly, Rust has the notion of a result type and it is designed to be both generic and composable. A problem I often face in Go and TypeScript code is code that ignores errors, often unintentionally. For instance, many uses of J

Assuming "function that blocks" means "the carrier thread must wait for the function to return" and "the whole thing" means the carrier thread, then core.async doesn't really have this issue as long as e.g

Assuming "blocking" refers to parking goroutines, then blocking is possible. (let [c (chan)] ;; creates channel that is parked forever (go (<! c))) The Go translation is as follows. c := make(chan inter

As the other commenter pointed out, this isn't restricted to strongly-typed functional languages. Clojure has core.async, which implements "goroutines" without any special support from the language. In fact, the `go` macro[1]

Ask for inflections separately. For instance, in many Japanese forms, there are dedicated fields for the name and the pronunciation of the name. There are possibly multiple ways to read a name (e.g. 山崎 is either やまざき or やまさき). It is better
