This was done once - it was called XHTML. It was, effectively, just HTML in XML form. Tags had a single syntax (no implicitly self-closing tags). Documents were required to be well-formed, syntactically, or they would not display. It did

It's based on Electron, which used to be Atom Shell. You are conflating the editor Atom with its runtime. Lots of stuff is built on Electron. (Desktop Slack, Discord, Atom, VS Code, Kitematic, GitHub Desktop, etc.) Electron is not a

How on earth is VS Code a 'ripping and rebranding of Atom'? That's just patently false.

Where do you see evidence of projects like Caddy getting too comfortable thinking Let's Encrypt/HTTPS support by default alone is going to differentiate them?

This was in reference to Homebrew, though. In Homebrew, installing Go is simply: brew install go No sudo required, nor 'update' command required first, etc.

This has nothing to do with Go being easy or hard to install, and everything to do with giving people a uniform way to manage installation, updates and removal of software, independent of what software that is.

The Oxford English dictionary provides synonyms for obsolete. While 'fallen into disuse' is one synonym provided, another is 'discontinued'. Your definition of obsolete, while correct, is not complete.

I looked up obsolete in the Oxford English dictionary: No longer produced or used; out of date. So, I think, by that definition, his point stands: it truly is the very definition of obsolete, as it is no longer produced.

There very may well be other reasons, but a large one is that Eclipse is written using SWT, not AWT/Swing. SWT is Java, and has a platform-independent API, but has platform-specific implementations. (SWT JARs are unique per OS/ar

The MIT license is extremely commonplace in web libraries and is well accepted. (used by jQuery, Preact, Angular, etc.) Can you clarify your concerns?

CockroachDB? I'll grant you it's still young, but it pretty solidly hits all your other checkboxes.

This is built-in to macOS - just go to Keyboard > Modifier Keys... and set Caps Lock to Escape, or another key. But, neat to see how it's done!

From all reference I have read, the phrase "exactly-once messaging" does not have a strict technical definition. Neither of your links define or use the exact term "exactly-once messaging". If you can point me to a def

Urbit claims, like you, exactly-once messaging is impossible: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14666015 But that doesn't mean we can't provide systems where, for all practical purposes, it is a guarantee. Anot

Thinking up disastrous conclusions to a cosmetic, optional, opt-in style feature affecting a very low percentage of your audience is a bit dramatic, no?

I opened an issue. They answered it. 4 out of 5 open issues have comments from core members working with the issue opener. Seems ok?

That's... a baffling claim. Urbit is well documented, in easy-to-understand terminology, from low level, to high level: https://urbit.org/docs/ https://urbit.org/docs/nock/definition&#x2F

The Sublime community is blessed to have his work supported in a way that lets him dedicate his time to Sublime Text as fully as he does. Given he one of few people who can work directly on Sublime itself, I am glad his focus is there.

XML was a fact of life in the 90s - inescapable. Things can change. Push the world forward. Think of little things you can do that make the world of development the world you want to be in.
