Rescript is sane but I wouldn’t all it simpler. It can be really hard to do trivial stuff with it. I felt I had to study OCaml to understand it.

Your brain is not Leibniz’s machine nor the algorithm sought upon in the Entscheidungsproblem. Your brain also doesn’t infinitely recurse as it doesn’t have infinite time or space. A machine that given a logical statement outputs whether th

This also happens for language keywords. Apple used to have the NS prefix and removed it in Swift. It was easier to search for NSString than it is for String.

Sometimes inflation is not reflected in a price increase, but in the reduction of quality (e.g. longer waiting times). There was a thread about it recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29062736

Yes, I first read about Leibniz’s machine from the wikipedia page on the Entscheidungsproblem. The research on this problem eventually led to the invention of Lambda calculus and the Turing machine (formal languages for computing), which pr

Forums are the obvious right choice for a developer community. But chats feel friendly while forums are formal and cold. Developers need a chat tool alongside the IDE. I was saddened when the ReasonML/ReScript community closed their ch

A little off topic. Why does HN trims the “how” from titles? It happened to me twice when pasting the title of a link submission. One needs to type it manually. It might make the title less click-baity, but it's a completely different

Nice to read a solution through self reflection and meditation. This should be the default for anything.

The thing I use and like most in nix is nix-shell. I set up a shell.nix file on my projects, and together with direnv the environment switches with the right dependencies for each project. Shameless plug, I wrote about this recently on medi

I started using nix. It’s difficult and search results are not often helpful.

Why is that wrong? A language can be multi-paradigm while the “official” documents are written in a specific style. Like human languages, they evolve with their use (or fork into another language completely), while the high literature is th

A good tip: finish (or begin) the books you have from the previous “must read” book list.

I love the overlap of Tech and music production. By the way, if anyone is interested in a modern, affordable, nostalgic incarnation of the DX7, check the “reface” edition.

I new to this opinion, but I think more people should try to write non-trivial things in the Hindley-Milner family of languages. Just to get out of the rut.

The Sum is called Union in the TypeScript docs, as it narrows the valid values to the overlapping elements. In the switch statement it becomes a Sum value (as shown in the article). In ReScript (shown as well, which uses OCaml under the hoo
