Zig to some degree, but that is still manual memory management. But it do remove some of the undefined behavior.

Since they mention education but only seem to have mostly bad things to say about audiobooks in that context (unless I missed something, I skimmed that part) I would like to add how this has changed dyslexics relationship with education and

Oh wow, cool. Have been hoping for another concaternative functional language. It really feels like one of those underrepresented language types. Always hoped to create something in Kitten but never got around to it and the development was

I really don't think these languages should be set opposite to one another as much as they do. I mean, I get why they are. They take up almost the same position and have quite different ways to view security and lang design. And they b

It isn't very weird that these smart surveillance thingys go off on the wrong things. What do they have to train those AI? They can't have that many "sound bites" from actual school shootings right? Maybe they actually h

Awk is kinda my new favorite scripting language. I've been using it for the master's thesis I'm writing and am amazed at how quickly I can script in it. And how easy it was to learn. From the beginning out results-visualisat

The generation of random email addresses for the accounts are a really neat and interesting feature I'm glad some privacy centered companies are trying out. I've seen comments here on HN from people that has implemented systems li

I think there was a conference for Rust in China a month ago or something and it seemed to have ok turnout, but I have no real data on it. Just as a small answer to your "FP and small languages" question.

I wonder how far you could go with a language game Zachtronics - style before Nintendo would shut you down. I'm betting it would probably be all good until you allowed interfacing with some more basic underlying systems to the language

> Conventional languages (like C or Pascal)... I've always heard of Pascal as "the Java before Java" or atleast quite an OO language. And since I knew Java I never thought to even go and look at it. Did I miss something he

Oh awesome. I found concaternative languages when I was trying to learn Forth last year. Forth was almost scary with how little syntax there is. Not even Lisp really felt like that. Types felt a great thing to get a bit more stability into

Really like what I read here. Simplifying the language is a great thing and really shows that they want to keep the language as simple as possible. Furthermore I love the mentions of 2 other languages I love. Both Pony and Zig are great. Am

Here they come! Hide everyone. The Haskell'ers has come to Rust. (no ill meaning, I like Haskell and think monads are an interesting idea and concepts. I am excited to see what can be done with them in a language more focused on perfor

The Swedish reps who pushed wrong said there were some changes last minute to the agenda, confusing them and in effect probably caused the wrong button press. Though I haven't been able to find for certain if this was the case. I am gl

I very much agree. Look at it this way: the more we practice and keep our languages truly complex, the longer it will take for machines to take our jobs. I even take it one step further and actively try to confuse the machines by training m

Had the wonderful opportunity to not only play around with Futhark last year but also have a lecture from Troels himself when I took a course in parallel functional programming last year. Really like the language and are really interested

Awesome. Was looking for this after reading that other awesome blog post about Boole. Once again HN to the rescue, saving me from a Google search.

Wow wow chill out. It wasn't meant as a negative comment. I was just making the observation most new languages are staticly typed and that a lot of what you hear in the functional space is about types (type theory, dependant types, cat

Was about to suggest this myself. I see a few that didn't like this and I can see why, but I thought it was interesting to listen too. Always interesting to hear someone knowledgeable argue for something you don't think you agree

You could recreate this using tech too. Make the UI for turning on airplane mode much easier than turning it off.

Since what they check against is a fingerprint, couldn't Red Shell just hash the data they create that fingerprint from, making it so they can guarantee that they don't really know anything about the player's data, just that

I see it as consumers telling the companies that they went too far. They let the ads take over too much of every page, let them be way too much in your face and let Spyware and other shit in. You simply used up your good-will and need to bu

+1 on this. This is one of the things I also haven't been able to find replacement for outside of FB yet. I guess it might be because it it almost too simple of a problem, to easy so no one makes a solution all can come together on. Al
