What safety concerns are you referring to? CGI scripts often had issues with SQL injection and shell command injection, but that was because of badly designed (or poorly used) libraries and unrelated to CGI itself. Or if CGI programs were w

If people rely on the LEDs working correctly or if the controller has any kind of connection to another system (which could be leveraged by an attacker to penetrate deeper into the network) it seems to me that security and memory safety wou

If you don't care about JS compatibility, that opens up lots of choices. Many languages compile to JS and interoperate without being constrained by syntax-level compatibility. Kotlin [1] is a nice statically typed language, for example

Right, but if Docker allows us to package much more complicated applications (as opposed to being forced to simplify) that gives the bugs more room to hide and increases the risk of unforeseen interactions resulting in security bugs in the

Wouldn't it also break most Python code that uses threading? Currently, everything is implicitly synchronized thanks to the GIL, so in Java terms it's as if every variable is declared "volatile". If the GIL is removed an

SWT is even better now. First of all, up-to-date official packages are now published to Maven Central as part of the release process, so you can just add it as a dependency as easily as with any other library. Until recently you would have

The recently redesigned Gmail UI is a good example of this: Chats now show up as minimized icons, and moving the mouse pointer over the icon to click it causes a close button to materialize under the pointer.

Sounds like great improvements. I would wish for the ramp to be extended a little bit to also do something about packages, for example allowing a common prefix like "com.company.project.whatever" to be elided, so that we don'
