   My company uses Bazel's rules docker to build our images: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker They're pretty great and have a lot of the caching and parallelism benefits mentioned in the post for free

   Raycast is an amazing tool, I use it everyday and have a few custom scripts to do stuff. Highly recommend. It's super nice to press cmd + space and type a common thing I do without having to think. I use it to move windows around, swit

   > Is there some syntax that looks closer to regexes for this (tree sitter inside regex rather than regex inside tree sitter)? I wonder if you could add escapes for specific syntax features, something like: \z{FunctionName=Foo}

   You can skip to step 4 using something like GPT-J as far as I understand: https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax#links The pretrained model is already available.

   Personally I would use mold for the dev cycle tests and then in CI or prerelease tests use the other linker

    Gleam.run is my current favorite flavor for "typed functional language". It's simple (a small language) and compiles to erlang

    There is a stateful API too, and I'm surprised they mention it's decoder is unsafe, utf8proc is fuzzed by oss fuzz, which I assume would catch something like that.

    Sure, but my point is that it's slower to develop the equivalent Rust than Java

    Certainly not knocking rust analyzer – it's great! I think the missing piece of node versus Java is Java has first class support for threading, so I guess it depends if your system is IO or CPU bound, but for CPU bound systems, Java is

    Strong typing maybe? Depends on what you define these terms to be. For me. Static typing is a compiler that verifies your types are correct. Neither Python nor JavaScript has this. Python allows for type annotations, which is very different

    There is certainly cases where Java is better than Rust (gasp I said it!) Purely from a productivity standpoint, Java is faster to write than Rust (you don't have to think about memory lifetimes and compile times are faster, I think ID

    Agreed. I wish people didn't assume GC means slow - Java has the most sophisticated GC out there. There are points when not being able to stack allocate objects hurts performance, but JVM performance is good. I've worked one two d

    Very much disagree. Your argument seems like a static typing vs not and unless you're writing a small trivial thing, having types very quickly bear fruit. Also most of the good code I read these days are data oriented programs (which i

    For the most part, it's also really easy to add node dependencies compared to C/C++. Is it surprising folks take the past of least resistance?
