You are right. But these problems can be solved using annotations. Your comment helped me to narrow my complaint: While functional languages require annotations for things that are not obvious (when to subclass, when to change the type of a

I'm glad to see such a positive reaction! I worked on that for quite a while and use it daily. I think the code is of pretty good quality (never had a segfault or data loss while using it). If you try it and encounter annoyances becaus

This is complete informal bullshit. This guy is either stupid or trolling.

Funny how HN does not give a fuck about compilation!

This is a bit needlessly aggressive.

In theory, maybe. But, let's say you want to go maintain X11/GCC/Qt (or even xterm), I doubt "anyone" can. Some people are full time developers on these projects, paid by some company we somehow rely on. You cannot

Isn't it what you do when you use a free software stack?
