The real world is that outside US, Apple hardly has a monopoly in mobile phones.

Vulkan is designed to only load core statically and the whole extension spaghetti dynamically, using driver entry points. https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/latest/mac/LoaderInterfac...

So JavaScript in general.

C++ addons are great, that is what makes JavaScript on the server bearable, when performance matters and we're stuck with it, instead of using Go, Rust, Java, .NET.

Use pnpm or yarn, also available with node.

I wasn't even aware it exists, so no big problem.

Happy birthday, I still have that original BeOS CD somewhere.

Not for the nerd definition of iOS as a market. The market is mobile devices.

LINQ is based on FP ideas on data manipulation.

SQL engines already had have multiple languages support for stored queries for at least 30 years. C, C++, Perl, Java, CLR at least. GraalVM was originally designed as repurposing the MaximeVM ideas into a new Oracle SP engine. You can even

Agreed, however it gets easier when using SQL plugins on IDEs, instead of raw cmdline admin tooling.

Only true when avoiding stored procedures.

It is like advocating that we should drop cars and go back to chariots, because wooden wheels don't get flat, while forgetting why they are mostly used for tourists nowadays.

So simplified, a bit like System F.

Showing your ignorance regarding Java and C# ecosystems and available compilers on that reply.

Not at all, the pain of doing plugins with UNIX IPC was another one. Ah, you have lots of memory, we're very wealthy. /s

Any country in the world with working democracy, there is a very precise definition of what monopoly is.

While the app store was a much better deal than ISP stores for the smartphones when it was introduced, Apple's hubris is too much and, almost no app developers care about VisionPro exactly because of that, it isn't only the price.

Except the other UNIX systems, starting with the original one, evolved from only having static linking to various ways to connect libraries and applications.

by pjmlp 2mo ago
Because many folks don't understand UNIX systems introduced dynamic linking for several reasons, and they actually only had static linking for almost 20 years, since UNIX was known outside Bell Labs. Additionally many other OSes have h

So we are re-inventing patched a.out files, back when UNIX systems started to introduce dynamic loading, before ELF was invented? Advocates of static linking keep forgetting once upon a time UNIX only had static linking, then we had overlay

Who says it needs to be desktop for proper memory management, servers and embedded can crash willy-nilly with OOM? In any case, Xenix, DG/UX, SunOS/Solaris, Aix, HP-UX, z/OS UNIX, NeXTSTEP.

Market pressure does wonders. Seriousness is a hard topic among Gophers, what today does not matter, is apparently quite relevant tomorrow, and generics aren't the only example where this kind of pivots take place. So whatever.

Some people forget not only is Fortran one of the few languages with first class support for GPU programming, and one of the reasons OpenCL lost, it has all the goodies of modern languages. I used it as example, as I could have used any oth
