I won't use GPL libraries in my code. I'm quite confident I'm not the only one. If there was no other choice, I may consider something LGPL or with the linking exception, but not until I had exhausted a search for something m

One should choose a license that fits them. The problem with GPL licenses is they are viral and non-permissive. As a developer, as soon as I see the GPL I just click away to another repo no matter how good the lib is. I don't want peop

by nu11ptr 1y ago
Personally, this feels like a feature that is too focused on one problem to be a general feature. Python is getting huge. When people ask me if Python is easy and simple to learn I have to say "the basics, yes, but to to learn the whol

It is still a bit early, but I'm majorly bullish on WASM for multiple use cases: 1. Client side browser polyglot "applets" (Java applets were ahead of their time IMO) 2. Server side polyglot "servlets" (Node.js, emb

I've kinda hit the same place. I thought I loved writing code, but I so often start projects and don't finish once the excitement of writing all the code wears off. I'm realizing it is designing and architecting that I love,

Value types anyone? I have zero doubt it is tough to add and get right, esp. to retrofit, but it has been so many years that I have learned/discarded several new languages since Java... and they STILL aren't launched yet.

How can that be true? If it is 3-4x more expensive than malloc, then per my measurements your malloc is a bump allocator, and that simply isn't true for any real world malloc implementation (typically a modified free list allocator afa

Go allocations aren't that bad. A few years ago I benchmarked them at about 4x as expensive as a bump allocation. That is slow enough to make an arena beneficial in high allocation situations, but fast enough to not make it worth it mo

I have written a lot of code in many languages, but most recently in Go and Rust. I had actually considered myself a Rust convert up until recently, and if you look at my comment history, you will find me calling out Go for being a poorly d

I recall Minecraft was initially written in Java back in the day, however, I see this decompilation is in C++. I see several files with class names like "BufferedOutputStream" and several others with Java stdlib names. Did MS do a

Sure, but Jane Street, as mentioned here, is probably the largest user of it that I'm aware of. It is a great language, but F# is the more pragmatic choice these days. OCaml doesn't have a huge ecosystem where as F# inherits all t

I like it too, but I'm in the minority. Everyone always whines about it, but honestly I don't interact with the DE much. I run like 5 programs and switch between them. I just need a good launcher, task switcher and for it to look

Yes, and people have gotten used to the new standard. I know many people who have lost weight, look great and have a healthy amount of body fat. People then say they are "too skinny", but they aren't by any standard measureme

For #2, someone once said there are two pricing models (was it Joel Spolsky? Don't recall..): $0 - $999 - direct sale/download, pricing on website $50,000+ - full sales team, no pricing on website And essentially not much in betwe

I love Rust, but would disagree. It is always difficult to read partially because there is so much boilerplate. impl blocks and where clauses in some codebases cause a lot of noise, for example. Granted, it probably could not be as easy to

That isn't my argument. My argument is that the features chosen are worse on all accounts, and better on either none or almost none, therefore it is poorly designed language. A few examples: Multiple return vs. tuple: tuples can regard

I'm not sure how making the language more expressive and less prone to errors makes programs more difficult to maintain? I'm not suggesting they keep adding new features and I do think they got that right. Too many languages keep

I would argue Go is a poorly designed language, though people are free to their opinions. Keeping things like null pointers when other languages got rid of them entirely (or used union type proofs to ensure they could not be referenced). Th

Rust doesn't want to depend on a garbage collector. I'm not aware of anyone being against garbage collection on an opt-in basis. That said, the article represents a GC type specifically designed for the author's scheme varian

Like many of these sorts of critique articles, I can see the author's pain point and empathize, but don't fully agree. Yes, it is true that if you aren't careful you can end up with a design that doesn't work and has to

I think they are really good design. The stick out like a sore thumb (reading > writing) so you immediately know "this does something a little special and isn't typically called directly". Contrast that with some languages

I am not a literary critic, but I very much enjoyed Dracula. When I read it, I did not know there were claims he wasn't a good writer, so I had no bias, I simply liked it quite a bit.

Not a novel, but the short story "Dracula's Guest" I thought was quite good. I was sad it was so short.

How would copyright law apply here? Would this fall into the public domain immediately? I read that Irish law is that it would be "70 years from date first made available to the public". Since published in a newspaper, I would ass
