Microsoft is constantly trying to push the envelope to see what they can get away with. Anyone defending this kind of crap hasn't been paying attention for the last 20 friggin years

Gleam is cool. I absolutely love that it's statically typed (dynamic typing is one of the things that pushes me away from Elixir), and the core of the language is very well designed. I just hate how small it is. I shouldn't need t

Ocaml? It garbage collected, primarily functional but with options for an imperative style when necessary. Of course its std isn't very good. I think Jane Street has done a lot improve things, but the whole ecosystem is still kind of a

Obviously, but it's an extremely well design language with a batteries included approach to the standard library.

Odin?

Yes, thank you for pointing that out... My point was about the need to rely on external libraries. I'm not a fan of that approach. I don't care for it in Rust or JavaScript, and I get a similar vibe from Gleam.

1. I'm actually fine with people getting fired for openly celebrating or claiming murder is a good thing. 2. People getting fired for simply pointing out that Kirk is a victim of a system he helped build are getting fired, which is a c

Then perhaps people who share that point of view need to develop a thicker skin now that Kirk is part of the cost.

Pretty much everything out of the guys mouth was either stupid or horrible. This just happens to be one of the most relevant to the current conversation

Well now he's one of those unfortunate sacrifices. I guess it had to happen, nothing we could do about it besides send hopes and prayers I guess.

I tried with Gleam, I really wanted to like it. I really like Louis Pilfold and I like his goals for the language. But something about it just didn't click for me. It's a good language, but at the end of the day I just didn't

I work in aerospace, trust me some of the aerospace engineers aren't any better. But don't worry. The company puts them somewhere they can't do any damage. Most of them become managers.

I doubt it actually is. All the extra effort it takes to make the AI do something useful on non trivial tasks is going to end up being a wash in terms of productivity, if not a net negative. But it feels more productive because of how fas

I work for a massive corporation that employees tens of thousands of engineers. Actually sitting down and typing code is literally never the bottle neck. I'm lucky if I get to sit down uninterrupted for a couple hours to actually work

A lot of the time I find myself highlighting things in NeoVim before I delete/copy them. Probably from years of interacting with text in GUI applications, it just feels more natural. I've heard about Helix's approach before a

The quote I'm referring to was in the article referencing other regulations. Also, determining when regulations do or don't apply is itself regulation...

A yes, the people using terms like "the woke mind virus" are definitely the people I want regulating some of the most powerful companies on the planet.

I'm all for getting away from GitHub, but Codeberg is a terrible name. Sounds like it's owned by Scrooge McDuck.

I've never heard of Talos until now, but it looks interesting. How was it to work with?

All I ever remember about that show is it's kinda Batman with a giant robot, and the end gets real weird.

This is why I'm still dubious about the overall productivity increase we'll see from AI once all the dust settles. I think it's undeniable that in narrow well controlled use cases the AI does give you a bump. Once you move be

Fair enough. And like I said, you're argument is certainly better than the article's. I'm not really a fan of list comprehensions, I usually just use for loops. It does seem consistent with Pythons syntax though. For loop is

A not insignificant number of functional languages disagree. You often read functional code from the inside out, which basically means you're reading right to left as you move up function calls. For the record though, "it's m

I don't think making your tools happy is a particularly valid reason to code in one style vs another.

My only complaint about the article is that it doesn't mention error handling. Lol Zigs use of try/catch is incredible, and by far my favorite error handling of any language. I feel like it would have fit into this article.

At work I prefer languages that take a "batteries included" approach. So Go and Python are good examples. You can get really far with just what is offered in the standard libraries. Though obviously you can still pull in a shitloa

Not strictly related, but I got to the parts about using a dependency to speed up builds in the container, and that his website has "hundreds" of Rust dependencies, and I was reminded why I get so annoyed with Rust. It's a gr
