The part "Case-insensitive comparison requires case folding" says there is an algo for that, but it's up to the language to implement it. E.G: in Python 3, it's recommend to use str.casefold() instead of str.lower() for

Seems fair to me, giving the nature of the language, the inertia of c/c++ and low level stuff, the learning curve of this domain, the popularity of web/scripting and the 4 years I mentioned.

by sametmax 7y ago
> it doesn't seem to catch up in popularity which I find weird. What's your metric to say that ? After all, it's a system language, not a web one or scripting one, so it's not likely to go to the top trending stats ve

Or just much less surgeries, or only in support of newbies. Fatigue and speed of execution seem central.

I tried pyinstaller, and never managed to make it work for my projects. Some libs are dynamically linked so it may cause problems. Nuitka worked immediatly, but still dynamamically links libc and doesn't allow this nice rust/pytho

Nuitka can do that. Since it converts python to c, then compile the c code, you can just get the c, and compile it the way you want. PyOxider packages and accesses the python files I think, so they are here and available.

XAR is only for "Linux or macOS", with FUSE installed. PyOxidizer offers a solution that: - works on Windows - can produce executable for Windows, Mac and Linux, but also potentially cross compile from any of those in the future -

Just because you observe a problem doesn't mean you have a solution. That doesn't remove the value from the observation, as long as it's not a way to just regularly complain at everything without a goal.

You could do that with regular HTML. Google crawling everything would easily let them know if a page is light and easy to preload, giving and incentive to web dev to make it so, instead of creating a lock in solution.

I've started my career as a PHP dev. Even if you consider them equally bad, at least PHP has a stdlib and no prototypal inheritance.

Yes, but again that's the consequence of another bad design: not including spread or another metaprogramming system for this. And not having default values either. Spread has existed in Python forever under the name of "splat oper
