could you share it on github?

I guess it depends on what your goal is. If it is simply your own personal learning, then no, it cannot possibly be a waste of time. But if not…

Creating a programming language must be both one of the hardest and most unthankful jobs in the world.

>Pure graph databases, on the other hand, encode the assumption that data is actually _physically_ organized as a graph into their model and query languages. What would be the benefit / disadvantage in each case?

Sex is a bimodal distribution that is so _extremely_ polar that calling it binary would be more accurate and helpful than bimodal. Calling sex bimodal is in the large misleading, even if correct in the narrow definitional sense.

Hence the term «culture»… It extends far beyond social media.

AFAIK Hotwire Stimulus isn’t using WebSockets. I think you’re thinking of StimulusReflex. Normal Hotwire Stimulus is just JS controllers that references DOM nodes via CSS tags. Example: https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/ I agre

I’m itching to try Crystal, since it has goroutines aka. greenthreads aka. fibers for easy concurrency, static types, automatic null checking, and performance on par with Golang. But Crystal has around 468 open bugs at the time of writing :

SailsJS is that. But people warn against using it.

My thoughts exactly. The JSFatigue is real. But, many options is a luxury problem.

Elm creator Evan Czaplicki can, in an elegant and pedagogical way that would feel familiar to at least developers coming from JS: https://youtu.be/oYk8CKH7OhE?t=1454 from 24:14 until 29:39. Haskell/FP/Math purists

Not necessarily. See this short clip where Elm creator Evan Czaplicki illustrates my point by way of the Monad: https://youtu.be/oYk8CKH7OhE?t=1454 from 24:14 until 29:39.

Thank you for the feedback. Maybe this short video clip can help. Elm creator Evan Czaplicki illustrates it by way of the Monad: https://youtu.be/oYk8CKH7OhE?t=1454 from 24:14 until 29:39. I've also updated that sectio

True. The curse of familiarity. I love Ruby though, in its own right. Even though I dream of simpler and more predictable virtues.
262.
by redbar0n 5y ago
True. That is indeed an implication, unless some other facility is available. The necessity of meta-programming, and if so, the extent of it, is one if the biggest uncertainties I have currently, which could be determined at this time, by i

That’s attractive! To be fair, that dream is more likely a dream that is inevitable to come true at some point, given the enormous base of JS/TS developers it will immediately be able to draw from, given the lower/zero knowledge

From my modest understanding of Plugs, they work like function calls, and in Phoenix you call them, so you can always follow the control-flow. As opposed to Rails’ where you write («magic») methods which you have to trust the framework will

Good point. Smalltalk is a source of inspiration, though I am unaware of how it handles math expressions in particular. The solution as I see it: You’d have to enforce using parentheses (in line with «explicit over implicit»), alternatively

Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency. What I meant was that the language core should be very constrained around composition of a few core primitives (self-hosting), but that it could be modified or built upon by others. So that it coul

by redbar0n 5y ago
yes! although you don’t even have to modify the code per se if you have «content-addressable code». See other comments in this thread that expands on it.

by redbar0n 5y ago
Definitely! See the article’s points on «forward- and backwards-compatibility» and «content adressable code». The latter has implications for library and package management. Someone expanded quite nicely on it elsewhere in this thread.
