Not at all, I personally never used nor plan to. I am a big advocate of classes, not inline styles spaghetti. The only contact I had with it was due to FE teams jumping into it, however every couple of months is something else anyway.

Windows development in general, sadly, hence why I refer that Microsoft sees Azure as Azure OS. If you think about it, all hyperscalers are hardly any different from old timesharing OSes, the only big difference is the way we get to log int

What I find funny is the whole "PC gaming is growing" kind of speech, as some generations abandon consoles for PCs. I and most of my peers have been playing home computers, since the 8 bit days, eventually moved into PC gaming wit

The language is actually relatively modern, it kept up with time (latest ISO version is from 2023), and there are even IDEs like Rocket Visual COBOL, granted not something that you might get on e.g. z/OS, but there are others. It actua

Starting by not being portable. Also misses that the way C++ lambdas work is that one design requirement was that they should be syntax sugar for the functor[0] pattern from C++98. [0] - Not to mix with ML functors, rather classes with call

I think in 2026 complaining about verbosity is a moot point, when folks are programming writing book sized Markdown files for AI tools. Heck, even complaining about COBOL programming feels like a joke now. Kudos on you Ada adventures.

Since you own a S series device, and it gets shipped alongside OS updates. Other Samsung devices aren't so lucky. PC drivers are equally as bad when using laptops by the way. While you can try to use the plain drivers from Intel, AMD a

Well, another one discovering strongly typed compiled languages. Apparently Tiger Beetle also started in node, before the founder reached out for Zig. Meanwhile all JavaScript tooling is being rewritten in Go and Rust. Maybe it is time to f

That is what late capitalism expects, 20 something year olds willing to do whatever it takes to get that dream job, changing the world with code, as if. The games industry and Hollywood have that lesson very well thought out.

I rather have 30 day vacations, a proper life with 40h work week, healthcare, union membership, than SV salaries, which are nontheless an exception, most of the developers, that aren't even properly accredited Software Engineers, get t

The problem is that we have spent 40 years adopting US technology, across multiple generations of software developers and decision makers, while everyone was supposedly on the same side. It will take similar amount of years to go back into

Because most game developers aren't religious about APIs, they implement an abstraction layer in their engine, a practice since the heterogeneous 8 and 16 bit days, where all major games were mostly coded in Assembly, and move on. Any

That is nothing special about UNIX, every other OS with command line experience, or REPL windows, has similar capabilities.

Which traces back to Xerox Bravo text editor. From the authors, Charles Simonyi went to Microsoft as one of the original Word implementers, while Excel was born on Mac OS and only later ported to Windows.

If only that would mean a better driver story across devices and Android releases. Unless it is a Pixel or Samsung Sxy flagship device, chances are the driver, which will never get updated, it a box full of interesting developer moments. Ju

A lot, I am only writing C or C++ for new code when it is unavoidable, like existing code bases, bindings or tinkering with runtime implementations that aren't bootstraped. Mobile platforms, distributed computing have long moved the sp

So much that they rather use another UNIX and then keep complaining it isn't GNU/Linux, go figure.

That is surely not the case for C#, contrary to most JVM implementations, on the CLR CIL is always jitted before execution since .NET 1.0, and this not taking into account AOT scenarios like NGEN (since .NET 1.0), and everything that came l

I for one, love Pascal and ML's revenge on modern languages design. Not that matters too much, given AI based programming tooling going forward.

Usually they pay for SuSE or Red Hat Enterprise, with selected hardware providers, not something regular consumers get.

The interesting part is that on one hand everything is proudly announcing how their Claude token's usage is going for coding projects, while at the same time complaining about reading AI articles. Well, I would rather not review AI cod

Well it is open source, so if enough people miss it, they are free to keep it going, isn't how it always gets talked about? Except the reality never plays that way, unless we are talking about tiny projects. Lets see for how long xlibr
