My point is that "highly configurable and scriptable environment" is a much higher floor than other languages have. You don't need that to be productive in most languages; there are people who write serious code in nano or

`System.out.println` is ridiculous, and you're likely to use it many times unlike `public static void main`. Well, since there are only 2 of these I suppose you can simplify this to it's not hard to customize your editor to expand

The full statement is "You don't need a full-blown IDE, just use (vim or whatever), unless you are writing in Java". Among mainstream languages, Java is uniquely hostile to being written by humans. The statement is usually sh

Note especially that in many languages "censor" and "censure" are the same word.

Java is the only language I've ever met where an autocomplete might be a net positive, since the ecosystem is full of excessive verbosity. I'm not confident about that, since I don't write anything in Java if I can help it.

We already have one. What we don't have is an API for process pillaging . Think about it - if you aren't init, what exactly is too limiting about "kill the processes or process groups of the children you created yourself&quo

More like "if you empty a safe-deposit box that doesn't belong to you, don't be surprised if random people start complaining about their goods being stolen." Ownership matters for more than just memory. And the "jus

As long as you aren't trying to reimplement `systemd` badly, you really shouldn't have to deal with this.

The concern that jumps out at me is: what about flags that affect code generation? Some are tied to the subarch (e.g. "does this amd64 have avx2?" - relevant if the cache is backed up and restored to a slightly different machine,

The problem with `esbuild` is that it silently does the wrong thing whenever there are type errors. The main job of a compiler is producing error messages; actually producing an output file is secondary. `tsc` is so slow that it seems the

Two blatant ones: 1. conditional compilation (typecheck and use these apis only in some environments), and 2. being able to compile "hello world" in under 1 second. I know I keep finding more but these ones I can't even write

I see lot of frontend people say this (since their baseline is "nothing"), but as someone who's used to compiled languages, all JS-ecosystem tooling is quite atrocious. It's still missing many of the useful basics that

This was a lifesaver during the early KDE4 years. Most projects it's wise to avoid .0 releases, but for KDE4 even up to .4 or so it was questionable. Thankfully this catastrophe didn't repeat for KDE5. There are still KDE3 featu

That's standard if `<iso646.h>` is included in C, but said header is a nop for C++. In the GCC world, inline asm uses strings so macros don't cause problems.

Pro tip: `#pragma GCC poison` is very good for (incrementally) getting rid of specific C-isms (both individual macros and individual functions) and keeping them out. It looks like `#pragma deprecated` is similar for MSVC, but it has the maj
