The Microsoft official Python extension uses Pylance, which is a closed-source extension of Pyright with additional features such as built-in type stubs. This is probably what you saw.

I don't know where the AI summary is getting the numbers from, but there was an article recently in the front page with more statistics about this: https://ourworldindata.org/britain-safest-roads-history .

This is the idiomatic way of declaring empty slices in Go, and it prints true: var slice []string fmt.Println(slice == nil)

I've never seen Pylance automatically install anything. Are you talking about the stubs that come packaged with Pylance, which Microsoft maintains?

Not in Go. Empty slices and empty maps are nil, so it's ambiguous.

Nitpick: this looks like Python. You don't need + to concatenate string literal. This is the type of thing a linter can catch.

How does this relate to monads? They have a proper definition of the signatures required and the laws they must obey.

You're greatly overrating how difficult Rust is. The wealth of high-quality software being written in it shows many people think it's worth the effort.

Horribly designed page. Why does everything need to blink? Why is the text so poorly rendered? You can accomplish a retro design while retaining some semblance of readability.

The argument is that there are two separate ideas: configuration for macOS apps (i.e., .app bundles) should be placed in Application Support (a platform standard), while CLI tools should be placed in .config (not a standard, but common prac

Typer is very convenient. I don't believe anyone manually parses arguments manually in Python where we have argparse in the standard library, and Typer is a step forward from that.

I use pyright with typeCheckingMode: strict and enforce that via checks in CI. You still have the Any/type: ignore escape hatches when necessary. I haven't written fully dynamic Python in years.

So? Other languages with pattern match similarly have such double indentation. C-style switch with unintended cases is weird.

Python map/filter/zip/etc. return generators, so they're lazily evaluated.

I don't think the languages are comparable. Go tries to stay simple (whatever that means), while D is a kitchen-sink language.

That's an exaggeration. This can be true in certain cases, but it is not a general rule. YJIT is still orders of magnitude slower than C.
