Why have do-notation if we can use fancy operators for everything? I think this version would is less approachable for most developers.

IIUIR, Roc's syntax is more ergonomic than do-notation. In Roc, you can put a "!" (bind) pretty much anywhere, whereas in do-notation it must be part of a binding. current_user <- fetch_user manager <- fetch_m

TypeScript is not a good foundation to be building on. The language has very complex semantics and the only "spec" is the main implementation, which is also evolving.

LLMs and astro-turfing have ruined that approach. I honestly don't know where to get information from these days.

I was hoping a few code snippets. So these mini kernel programs are written in a subset of C?

I assume you are a programmer. In my view, if AI can do software engineering, then I don't think any white collar job is safe.

X is too bloated! We need Y, which is leaner and more tailored to our use-case. (years pass...) Y is too bloated! We need Z...

Can anyone explain why Cranelift is expected to be faster than LLVM? And why those improvements can't also be applied to LLVM?

The UK was such a pioneer in those times! Quite sad how backward-looking the country has become.

A large part of that is cycling on roads with automobile traffic. Dodging cars, taking gaps, sprinting at lights, constantly looking around... are all things that make you sweaty. Plus cars kick up a load of road grime and water (when it ra

Replacing circular structures with IDs is memory-safe, but it can still blow up if there is no item with that ID. It may be safer, but it's not guaranteed correct or anything like that. In these cases I'm not sure what is gained b

Types are way more mainstream in the JS ecosystem than they are in the Python ecosystem. If you want a "scripty" language with types, then TypeScript is a reasonable choice.

You can do Node.js with F# But these days .NET is a great server-side option. One of the fastest around, with a bit of tuning.

There aren't many languages that can do server-side and browser-side well. F# is one of them!

There are a bunch of languages that fit-the-bill already. F#, OCaml, Haskell and Scala all come to mind. You might have to lose a few parens though!

You'd hope so, but the job ad specifies Java experience, so there's a good chance this will be converting code from FP to OOP. And the reason is most likely corporate homogeneity.

It's going to be a real struggle to hire F# developers to migrate things off of F#. Most people working in niche langs arrived there looking for something better than the mainstream.

You will call the code with an effect handler that records the effects and then check the recording has the properties you care about.

Prediction for the future: - Algebraic Effects will land in mainstream languages, in the same way that anonymous lambda functions have - This will render "mocks" pointless

Is this capable of performing efficient JOINs across non-homogeneous data-stores?

Python has some design mistakes (IMO): 1. No "var" or "let" keyword, which requires you to read code, particularly with loops, more carefully 2. No multi-line lambdas, which forces you to move snippets away from their us
