This makes no sense. Open source doesn't collect my personal information. (Except when it does, which is bad behavior.) Anyway, the law is capable of making reasonable distinctions where necessary.

I agree there are a number of interesting packages in this space (Metatheory is another). What I'd like to see more of is things like arrows, higher-kinded data types, etc, that work better with support from the language's type sy

What kind of processing do you do on the data before printing?

I think we have a big PL-shaped hole in our community. Taine's work [1] shows how much PL folks can add to Julia. We need more of them. [1] https://github.com/thautwarm

Is there a difference between traits and multiple abstract inheritance? Those seem equivalent to me. Re duck typing: people usually respond to "what is the type of map?" with "it's duck typed". But we should be able

That's great to hear. I found some info about it which looks promising. https://www.npopov.com/2020/05/10/Make-LLVM-fast-again.html

There is a certain set of languages that the Julia team is experts in. But the world of languages is very diverse and big parts of it are lacking representation, so we miss out on their insights. Eg I think most core devs are experts in C,

How much communication is there between the Julia compiler team and the LLVM team? I don't get the impression LLVM has been very sensitive to Julia's needs so far.

A couple of very vocal individuals have an attitude, which reflects badly. But the community is getting bigger, so it's becoming less of an issue as most interactions don't include those people. It's still easy to write slow

Yes "user experience" things like that are improving. And StaticCompiler/GPUCompiler is making good progress. But I see no movement on the deeper problems, like the limitations of the type system (no effort on traits, functio

(No response needed, just something to consider.) In any large system, there are many problems that could have technical solutions but they're missed for one reason or another. Design mistakes occur from time to time and we can choose

Agree with all of this except > 5) I really like official libraries, not SomeBasicFunctionality.jl dependency. I am spoiled by Python. Python's standard library is full of bad code that nobody has time to improve [1]. Over time, Jul

Inherently recursive algorithms are clearer when written in recursive style.

jefft meant GP, not OP. When people complain about julia, they often get "maybe julia isn't for your use case" instead of "good point, we should fix that".

Yeah. Mike's "Iterate on it" [1] is a real "what's bad" post, as is OP's. [1] https://mikeinnes.github.io/2020/06/04/iterate.html

I agree with everything in this except "You can't extend existing types with data". Data inheritance is implementation inheritance. Don't add it.

Car end-users pay for petroleum too. Anyway the laptop is probably not actually banned. Dell's probably trying to hit a threshold for eco tax benefits or something.

I think you're saying "alienation" means a specific historical technological transition about moving from hand-looms to industrial looms. I googled for it but I don't see that definition supported. In the sources I found

Yep, thanks.

Yup. Even educational videos like [1] are probably using audio compression so they don't show the real loudness. Research [2] shows suppressed small arms are still well over 100dB (e.g. landing airplane loud) at peak impulse. [1] http

The reason this works is the third-party auditor. The blockchain doesn't add any value on top of that.

A bunch of non-crew passengers very publicly went into space which presumably wasn't on their mind when they came up with the definition originally.

It was clearly in response to the event, I'm saying it's a reasonable terminology refinement when faced with a new situation.
