Good suggestions for improvement. The latest Ruby version works as described in the «keyword arguments can be omitted» link. The dream language is gradually static typed. Like TS, but the type system and inference would ideally be more like

What would be the main motivation for reflection? I’d like to be convinced it is fundamentally necessary, or just worth it, given the potential for introducing footguns.

Good point. I agree. Most Ruby code uses `if <conditional> <expression> end`. Tried to rephrase it now so it gives the impression that `<expression> if <conditional>` is merely syntax that Ruby allows.

I’d try Inertia.js compared to Unpoly. It seems a more modern alternative. It’s like HOTwire Turbo (aka. Turbolinks), but with JSON over the wire. But no API needed.

The time spent on discussing data exchange details (protocol) between teams is regained in their ability to work largely independently of one another (without constant sync).

I'd like to see a discussion around: 1. The two-way data-binding. I'm sure a lot of developers have gotten it ingrained that "two-way data binding is bad and doesn't scale to large apps and teams". 2. Server-side re

VDOM is certainly not faster. Svelte says "VDOM is pure overhead", and VDOM approaches are generally beaten by Imba and reactive libraries like SolidJS: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/2021&#

It's more like the other way around.. The truth about Svelte: https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/0f910048478c2a6505d1c321... Svelte was a minimalistic and familiarity-optimised response to Imba: "These proje

what I don't understand is why not have these abbreviations as snippets (text expansions) in the IDE, instead of language primitives? So that the primitives match what people are familiar with from before, and match the actual web stan

the point is that "to ease subsequent application development or data analysis" can be done just as well, or better, by a graph DB. You don't have to end up with the hassle of relational data as in an RDBMS.

Did the non-TDD team do regular testing, or no testing at all? It doesn't say, and it seems rather important to judge the results.. I think the debate is not whether testing in general reduces defects (which is rather obvious), but if

This! Haha, this is such a good no-bullshit-description of the state of the art of software development. It can be a real a merry-go-round of: Premature problem solving, premature abstractions, and premature optimizations.
