Per-actor GC is pretty important, as it allows Erlang to guarantee soft real-time / low latencies. This is simply impossible in the JVM unless you go with Azul's GC, which then sacrifices throughput.

I dunno, our sass codebase eventually got to a point where we couldn't watch it with the ruby-based compiler. It would take something like a minute to recompile all the files when a globally included file was edited. We ended up writin

How does Haxe manage impedance mismatches between it and so many target languages? I've never heard of anything pulling that off successfully. Maybe Eiffel? But then, who uses Eiffel?

You could turn this around and make it an argument against vim, if you're an experienced sublime/emacs/whatever user.

I'm not. We weren't fans of php either. Even if you buy into the philosophy that all languages are technically equal, that still doesn't make them pragmatically equal. It was probably our network, but we had a very hard time

A couple of years ago, we moved off of wordpress precisely because it was written in php. Once you're trying to do anything reasonably complex in a CMS, the architecture and the programming language matter, because you have to extend t

Can't you tune a 64-bit JVM to have a smaller heap or GC as aggressively as a 32-bit JVM?

No, that one is spelled differently (Bitfenix.)

We went with Mithril over React too. Both are good, but React + all of the libs needed to match Mithril is a fairly large payload for mobile-optimized websites, whereas Mithril is tiny. Mithril didn't quite have everything we needed, t

The whole article is about features added. The first point is even about improvements to macros.

What's being taken out of context here? It seems the conversation is about dbus being slow, and you agree that it is?

What? Microkernels have a specific definition too, and Linux most certainly is not one.

Go's concurrency primitives are rooted in decades-old research (CSP). Its interface system is an implementation of structural typing, which may be even older. You could maybe argue that neither had "industrial-strength" imple

Our solution is likely a lot more duct tape-y, but we developed a straight-forward tool in Go for managing large assets in git: https://github.com/dailymuse/git-fit There's a number of other solutions open source

I thought it meant that they were only allocating on the stack instead of the heap, (which would still be wrong terminology-wise) but they're clearly doing heap allocations from the examples: https://github.com/labstack

I interned at Microsoft when they were trying to ramp up from from the skeleton crew. The impression I got was that this was part of it, but also that Microsoft was averse to innovating on IE after the US antitrust case.

I'm not a lisper, but this makes me pine for some universal, maybe lisp-like language. It's a total waste of time to learn a new config syntax for each application.

We made git fit to manage big assets as well: https://github.com/dailymuse/git-fit Didn't go with git annex because, frankly, I never felt like I grasped what was going on in the background when using it.

To expand on immutability and GC, this article explains why it's a big win for GHC: https://wiki.haskell.org/GHC/Memory_Management Additionally, Erlang can also make "soft real-time" guarantees because e

Nine Inch Nails did some really interesting experiments where they'd produce visuals on the spectrograms of their music [1]. It's almost like refreq is bringing the same concept to the masses. I love seeing how the simple distorti
