You should try Kotlin. It solves exactly this pain point - creating classes for data structures is very terse and easy. You can have a one-liner class like class Person(val name: String, val email: String, val yearOfBirth: Int? = null

Wouldn't that just classify as fraud? I think existing laws already have that covered. After all, impersonation done by people is nothing new, this technology just makes it easier.

I believe reddit was always closer to being the site that Digg's users wanted that Digg itself. It was more focused on discussion (there are self-posts, r/AskReddit, etc.) and less on pure link sharing. Digg v4 just gave many Digg

To be honest, everything about Android seems like a bit of a mess to me - the APIs, the tools, plus all the things from the user's perspective.

For very specialized subjects, I would completely agree. But when it comes to lower-level math - a group of topics that surely have been done to death countless times over, there really should be well-known books (or online courses) by now

It's certainly older than 2002. I remember reading it in the "Pixelate" online magazine way back, and sure enough, I was able to find it here https://web.archive.org/web/20020724103458/http:/&#x

I'm not sure you would save that much memory. It would be a similar situation to having Chrome open with a bunch of tabs (those are separate processes as well) - it's the tabs themselves that consume most of the memory, compared

Having done a lot of React development (in TypeScript), and recently dealing more with Android, I disagree. Having to manually mutate the UI instead of describing it with a `render` function feels like a huge step back. Even data binding is

I feel the same way. I even tried starting a library like that (in Kotlin JVM and Native), but never got past a very early stage ( https://github.com/peterholak/mogul ). Hopefully one day I'll have enough time to wo

Unfortunately, libraries such as React have their own component lifecycle management, which doesn't play well with this ( https://reactjs.org/blog/2015/12/18/react-components-element... ). This is als

That has nothing to do with it. Most UIs display some kind of data to the user. When the data changes, how do you update the UI?

The `render()` function describes the look of the UI. With "traditional" libraries, you either have to imperatively mutate the initial UI (e.g. `button.setText`, `layout.addWidget(new Button)`, `removeWidget(button2)`) or use data

The problem is that in order to play with the mockups and test them, you could create interactions that work with the expected happy path, but are not what the final application logic is supposed to be. For example, you have an action that

That doesn't look like what I was talking about. He basically has an entire new component for every possible state - and his state is just a single variable. That seems very wasteful if what you want to do is just to show a bunch of ex

True, you would need a drag-and-drop tool for essentially editing functions (with `if`, `forEach` objects) in order to achieve this with React (well, if you had that, you would have achieved a lot more than the old-school UI tools did). I w

With 90s UI tools, you only created the initial state of the UI, that you then had to manually mutate with code. With React, you functionally describe how the UI looks in every possible state.
