   The syntactic sugar for the list of tuples (aka the Keyword list ), such as: [one: 1, two: 2] instead of [{:one, 1}, {:two, 2}] and the other ... do: macros drove me crazy when I first learned Elixir. But as soon as I familiarized my

   For me Tailwind is an elegant and powerful design language, one which has sane defaults, and which gives me the opportunity to experiment quickly and instill life in the structure of my html right there where I type it, with just a few keys

   I had always avoided using any CSS frameworks because I wanted to master and also maintain complete control over my CSS, but after having used Tailwind for a few projects now, I don't think I would every want to go back to writing raw

   I wish I had this when I learned the language. :) I'll take a look, as your playlist is quite comprehensive it appears. Thanks for sharing! Re: Rust - I've been trying out basic examples, simple web servers, etc; nothing too fancy

    Yeah, I've known about Gleam, but I don't recall exactly why I wasn't too compelled to use it. I installed it with brew a while back, I tried a few basic examples and since then it's just been sitting there. I guess I sh

    I've been programming my web projects exclusively in Elixir for the last few years and I've been deeply enjoying the language. Although at first, some unfamiliar design decisions annoyed me, for they were not well explained in the

    I hope more people looking into statically typed languages like Rust also take a look at Nim, as it seems to be striking a good balance between performance and developer productivity.

    by plainOldText 4y ago

    Yes, tweaking the compiler flags can alter the performance substantially. I'm glad to see Nim so fast though.

    In that case, did you also run rust with the equivalent RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"? :) Perhaps benchmarks should be compared on equal footing, say, with the default release flag or all optimizations turned on, otherwise they

    I do not, sorry. I'm sure some Go developer can chime in.

    Just a quick glance at you repo, and I'm noticing you're running Zig `zig build -fstage1 -Drelease-fast=true` and Rust `cargo run --release` with the release flags on. You should do the same for Nim `nimble build -d:release --opt:

    Could OpenBSD run Firecracker? I think it would be a nice development. Security focused OS meets security focused microVM.

    I think it needs a better visual representation of the levels. I personally find the visual representation currently utilized to represent the fractal structure, incomprehensible.

    I know these languages are both members of the ML language, but why would one pick OCaml over F#? I've toyed a bit with both and F# seems a bit more ergonomic: pipes, computation expressions, a more concise syntax, etc. I do like how f

    I wrote my first Nim app recently (an agent for reporting server data) and I must say, I like the language. It was a quick and painless learning experience. As of now my binary is about 400KB and uses about 1.3MB in memory consumption. Inde

    I like the minimalism and thoughtfulness of the interface. Something is not clear however. Where do recordings get stored? On device, iCloud? I think it would be nice to know where your data gets stored, and maybe have a choice or two.
