I use it in the repl for classes I'm not familiar with. I use Ruby for duct taping a lot.

I used to be happy with Ruby, but learning Scala and then Crystal really changed my mind about where the line ought to be drawn wrt to expressiveness and safety. I don't and have never used the vast majority of Ruby's metaprogramm

That's where the boundary for transpilation will lie then, but I don't consider that to be a good enough reason to justify not trying to write a tool like that. I really appreciate your thought on this! I look up to your work a lo

We don't know very much about what ruby 3 types will look like or what other information we'll have. Even a small subset of ruby being transpiled would be a useful thing for some developers. You're much more aware of some of

With Ruby getting an AST, and potentially a type system in the future, I think that ruby 3 could lend itself to bring transpiled to crystal relatively easily, depending on exactly how much type information there is, how difficult / pos

I think the most fascinating thing that Ruby 3 could approach is an approach similar to Dart 1's optional types. That way a fast unchecked mode could be available for developing, and REPL usage, and then a separate switch could be flic

Crystal is progressing well, but they don't have the resources of a lab full of incredible engineers thrown at it. It's definitely a threat though. The Amber Framework is very familiar to people who know Phoenix or Rails. Personal

This is amazing. I hope they build in support for Azure and let us have free private repos. Congratulations to Microsoft!

Yeah I'm sure Google won't abruptly dump an ecosystem, that's so unlike them.

A wrote up about this would almost certainly make the front page of HN. Not that that should be the primary motivation for writing it, but surely the validation won't hurt! Projects like these are the most interesting ones for me to re

I share this at work every now and then and I'm always shocked people never tried it. Seems obvious to me.

Android tablets were awful software on great hardware. Or decent hardware. Sometimes great. I hope that if fuchsia becomes the next Google mobile device os, that they take special care to not fragment it into a million pieces within the fir

Boy, that's the million dollar AP question lately. We need a cohesive group of smart people to get it organized and make it more adoptable. It is a giant pain in the ass to familiarize with AP at first.

Yeah, they want it gone because people are making a stink about the agendization of what news is shown on the feed. I'd like to see trending reflect my geographical trends more than anything. What are my hometown friends talking about,

Sure, but it's also not like he didn't have any opportunity to better himself. Moot never wanted to be leet, but if you're running the world's most popular Internet cesspool, maybe you should push yourself here and there

Wow what a revelation, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Of course I am an edge case. I never made a contrary claim, just dropped my two cents in the bin, but of course I've been HNed for doing so.

I don't blame him for not dealing with it, I blame him for not fixing it with the https+captcha the rest of the site got. I find some interesting stuff in the readonly. Fibonacci buttsort is always good, sicp stuff is nice to remember.

A little ad-tracking here and there isn't necessarily foul play. Sleazy, sure. That's not the same as unfettered, cataclysmic access to tens of millions of users personal lives. I think what makes the Facebook thing so awful too i

Who says it isn't mature? Is it immature because it doesn't fit your content expectations? Reminder that after 15 long years of chaos, it still exists. It's a very specific, essentially impenetrable market of 4chan users that

/prog/ used to have an incredible amount of good discussion about programming. The perfect blend of memery to break the monotony with the perfect amount of puzzles and challenges and debate to keep it stimulating. RIP

Well but I bet you've read a lot of prolog and its familiar. Also fizz is only 0.3 I believe. Syntax is an easy change to make that early.

I didn't mean to offend you! It's an impressive project regardless and you're a blessing to the logic community just for putting it out there! So I'm curious though, fizz seems to be a fairly forward-looking language. Yo

Elaborate on this. Are you saying Google has crossed the line into social intelligence territory like china has? Is there evidence for this, beyond "google is bad!!1!" ?
