   Ok, but I was trying to avoid The GC hate. I understand that these are real issues but I wanted to hear about other things. It's so hard to avoid people bringing up the same issues again and again when discussing languages. Python - to

   Thanks for the link to the vision document. Even the fact that such a document exists does show that steps are already being taken to give D more direction. I'm not really a web developer, more of a data analyst with some web services.

   I found the post slightly contradictory but overall strongly evoked the frustration that the author felt. My reading is that most of the problems come from a lack of manpower or perhaps a lack of delegation but I'm only reading this as

   Interestingly, Python 3.6 has just tried to fix the DST problem in the datetime library itself. See PEP 495 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0495/

   Right, there's arrow and pendulum and also http://delorean.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html plus the Datetime options offered by pandas and the numpy.datetime64 type. It gets to be pretty confusing particu

   Latex itself is still progressing, they've incorporated lua into Tex so that they can add new features. There are also alternatives to Latex such as ConText although I've never heard of anyone actually using it. But in general it&

    Thanks for your answers. By physical unit, I meant metres, seconds, nanoseconds, kilograms. Since I'm more in the physical sciences, units are important to me. Keeping track of physical units is a kind of provenance. I see now though t

    Looks interesting. It reminds a bit of the ARFF format. I can't tell whether WSL allows comments though which I think would be useful. Also insisting that no null entries are possible will probably lead to incompatible versions of the

    This article is bonkers. How can you directly compare a programming language to multitasking operating systems with desktop enviroments? In what sense is this a sensible comparison? A comparison of embedded code written in C vs Forth would

    As an Englishman living and working in Paris for a few years, my eyes have been opened to the difficulty of working in another language. I used to be a little bit dismissive of foreigners who hadn't completely mastered English but now

    I've just implemented a custom backend for graphite-api which seems to be working ok although I don't have crazy requirements. https://github.com/brutasse/graphite-api is a cleaned up fork of graphite (which
