The most Fun you get is rebuilding the wheel. That is where you hit the sweet spot with a language. People say that the "fashion" in chose stack is about shinny new things, but I think, instead, is the joy of have a chance of reb

Specially when the "old things" are over-represented by things like C/C++/Shell, Unix and not Pascal/ADA, HyperCard/DBase/FoxPro (your "low-code" from the past!), Amiga, BeOS, etc A LOT of the ol

> I wouldn’t say that Rust is easier Rust is easier than C/C++, but not at first . After you learn the semantics of it, is very smooth sailing (at least until you get into the most exotic needs like build your own async runtime).

Know SQL well, so you can know how revert any problem you have. Other commenters say a lot about PREVENTING an issue. That is good, but you can get stuck in a situation that (very common, saddly) you are under a pile of "stuff" th

Also, TODAY type checking (and more important, how Types are used) is not the same than YESTERDAY types usage. Java, C++ and similar are terrible benchmark for it. Before, types were almost for do taxonomy, with limited help to actually wri

Building https://tablam.org I learn a bit about the relational model and found that the whole having/group by is plain bad "hack". GROUP BY is totally the opposite of what you expect. It NOT "group by"!,

Is not that simple (in Rust?). DB interfacing is pretty deep in the chain so you can't avoid it (without re-implement what sql do already).

Yeah, this is it. BTW, I still moderator in https://www.clubdelphi.com (despite not working on Delphi anymore, like many there!) and see how much mind-share Borland and later lost on the small-bussines/solo-developer side.

Rust is hard at the start, but easy after. But I feel async keep it hard. The sad part is that async is SO infectious that you are forced to move all on it to align with the rest of the ecosystem. I also believe the way all of this is prese

Yeah, the rust Reddit is to me, the #1 reason I stick with Rust when I think I will not survive it! The amount of helpful answers is outstanding, and is self-reinforcing: I try to participate on it every time I can. Other reddit I enjoy a l

Think is like the most "functional" way to do CSS, in contrast with the "OO" way (like bootstrap). Each class is applied in pipeline. And ONLY to that tag. This is key. This leads to know, exactly, what are the effects o

Not all, and some "JITs" are not of the "make assembler" version. You can "JIT" on top of your own bytecode. Or not have a bytecode and compile to lambdas...

Don't get too focused on "scripting". making one today and you learn quickly, that scripting/compiled is blurred. Eventually, both will borrow a little of the other to be more performant or useful. --- I'm building

"Many" are not that much many. Refuse to use the full capabilities of a RDBMs is like refuse to use the full capabilities of a NoSQL. In fact, the ideal is to code all in a rdbms-first language. All this complexity is because code

Yeah, I wonder the same. I struggle a lot early on my lang with this (also: Wanna have 2d vectors) and eventually get a enum alike yours (but the Rc<str>, Rc<Closure>, Rc<[Value]> intrigue me!).
