it looks like a big deal of work... is it just for hobbists or aimed also for some kind of professional? if the latter applies, there is a lot of work missing with the readme (starting by catchy headlines/marketing eye catchers, etc).

You are going here totally ad-hominem here. Do you mean about the three posts where I speak about what a metaphor is? isn't the usage of the language a complete subjective opinion and cultural aspect? the main post is still upvoted (an

you are underestimating python; it has many ways of concatenating strings, such as operators, buffers, templates, streams, the join method etc also. By having mutable strings you lose the chance of relying on them as hashable objects and co

by nudpiedo 8y ago
In python you can concatenarme strings using the operator plus, using templates, the method join, putting them in buffers or streams and many other ways just using the main python builtin functions just to name a few (no std library yet!)..

@klibertp I disagree with you. Everyone here is a grown up and "hate speech" cannot be directed against an algorithmic abstraction or a way to organize code. Criticism is a valid form of opinion, including criticism on informal el

No, I am not trolling, read my other comment on the "hate speech". It was an opinion, do not take it too serious, if you like the language go for it.

I speak 6 languages including some Japanese and I disagree with you. I also met people who learnt to speak languages by the age of 60 and they made it good enough for easy business.

No, it is not. It was a metaphor.

however I did it I am sure I used (imported or not) hash tables or similar from stdlib (no algorithm complexity difference in this regard). But based on the comments from everyone it is reasonable to say that my implementation had something

It was very straightforward code looping, counting and storing strings in memory and writing to a file. Looking in perspective my guess is that the optimized C runtime of python (IO and optimized string references) competed against Nim&#x27

In my humble opinion on language design, if the main language favours a paradigm or style, the libs will do it even worse although some programming languages gave weird reimplementations of their whole stdlib in a different paradigm it is n

sorry, I cannot tell it anymore since that was long time ago, the python version probably had a generator; also remember that python's IO and string optimizations are written all in C.

by nudpiedo 8y ago
It could be, but remember that python optimizes a lot IO and string manipulation (runtime in C). Based on how the feature list has changed perhaps I tried Nim even earlier than what I said. I also did not want to look for any optimizations

I never used Scala, Haskell or a functional language other than a small pet project on clojure I usually write small functional snippets within OOP for python (so my job colleagues can still understand most of my code/structure). &quot

it's a mainstream design choice on most of programming languages for several reasons, like security or heavy optimizations. If the language is so focused on constrained environments that might make no sense since the developer will be

Hi Dom96, thanks for answering point by point. Unfortunately I cannot answer all of these things since I got this impression about two years ago, and things might have changed or perhaps I got them wrong (as you say some of them are subject

but the size of Julia is much larger and it serves a purpose/focused market (nim aims to be a solution for everything and it is a master of none).

I think that's understandable, in spite of being a young niche/language the community oversells it continuously on larger communities (like HN) but it is that much polished. The promise: pythonic, cross compilable, fast solution f

I agree also on the point about documentation, this practice was also extended to the community modules (but everything was new and hacky so I thought it was OK, but it ended up being the rule a the ecosystem).

I can check it later when I am back at home but since I regularly clean my projects & prototypes folder I do not think I kept it. The implementation was quite straight forward in both languages: count words and then some statistic count

I stopped trying Nim in 2017 when I found out that the only worth feature were the macros. Red flags I saw: * A return variable within procedures that works in the same fashion as an assembly routine with a registry * Mutable strings * Muta

There are many languages leveraging LLVM. Get it over. And single word answers are not a proper netiquette, if that still was a thing.

I disagree with this person's opinion: You can build something that works, that people want to use, but you can’t actually make all the right decisions if among the builders there’s not enough diversity and perspective

Although I appreaciate almost all opinion articles and videos posted by Rich, what I read here is that Rich seems to see his project about himself which fits his previous behave as Clojure's Dictator For Life. In other words, he could

If I look in LinkedIn I find more job offers for Clojure than golang. For some reasons other metrics do not apply, and I guess golang is more open source related than clojure which is more about building private services.
