It’s published on hey.com, which is a 37Signals product. Also it’s sort of hard to separate the guy who offers his opinions on his blog and the same guy who offers his opinions at a tech conference.

I wasn’t talking about Psalm - I was talking about Hakana, a Rust project that informs much of Mago’s type-checking architecture. Hakana was designed to analyse Hack, a fork of PHP that doesn’t support PHP magic methods and so is much easie

I would posit that you do not know what you’re talking about. Mayo is also a static analysis tool that does typechecking. It incorporates and is heavily influenced by code I wrote.

It's cool that it's part of the PHP foundation, but it's not all that complex. FrankenPHP has >100 contributors, including 3 very frequent ones, and about 17k lines of Go. Mago has 11 contributors, with just 1 very frequen

It is very cool that this exists, but the PHP community lacks the resources to see a non-PHP tool thrive. Tools like Sorbet (C typechecker for Ruby) or tsgo (Go-based successor to TypeScript's typechecker) are only viable because big p

You say that the WSJ is "more balanced and less biased than NYT", based on that website. But a bias towards centrist American politics doesn't mean a lack of bias — far from it. For example, 30 years ago a "centrist&quot

When framed in terms of bias, the implication is that things in the centre are unbiased, or that the bias somehow equals out — that you get the best picture by reading those news sources.

Framing it as a spectrum between Left and Right is absolutely daft. In any European country the New York Times opinion pages would be seen as pretty centrist, or even centre-right. That so much of US media and political sphere skews heavily

I don’t think they’ve been desperate to launch here. NYC is the least car-friendly city in North America — for many it’s a badge of honour not to need a car, and the city just enacted congestion charging.

Static analysis tools like rustc and clippy are powerful, but there are large classes of errors that escape those analyses — e.g. things like off-by-one errors.

Yup — this doesn't match my experience using Rust with Claude. I've spent 2.5 years writing Rust professionally, and I'm pretty good at it. Claude will hallucinate things about Rust code because it’s a statistical model, not
