Since when is saying "I think" considered to "proclaim as certainty"?

This type of article is just as important as the deeper ones. It's not "obvious" to everyone; most non-Postgres users don't know about its JSON features (yes, most! https://xkcd.com/1053/ )

You're misusing the word "disingenuous". The author has no ill intention of being insincere.

I also worked through the pre-Javascript world, the jquery world, the backbone world, and now the react world. And while I'm productive with react-like stacks, I've rediscovered how much more productive I am with HTML-centric SS

Prolog is fundamentally well established (~40 years old), and you can start using it today in several programming languages. For example: JavaScript http://tau-prolog.org Ruby https://github.com/preston/ruby

Ruby on Rails is still the new Ruby on Rails. JS solutions still need another five years to catch up, unfortunately.

I recommend starting with [0] to get a feel for what's possible. [1] is great when you have time to dive deeper. [2] is good motivation, and [3] will show you how to build a practical roles & permissions system. Keep in mind that y

I second the nod to logic programming. I've been working on a board game engine in Prolog as a side project, and I'm having the most fun programming I've had in a very long time :)

The author of this post is Anne Ogborn, one of the most experienced Prolog programmers in the community. She happens to be hosting a beginners & advanced Prolog course[0] that's starting in a couple days (I've enrolled myself)

Would you say the same about incomplete testing?

To be fair, blocks, procs, and methods are fairly fundamental to Ruby. After a bit of study, they stop being surprising. I'm sure there are other examples, though.

Right, those are the kind of permissions I had trouble with. That gist works for reads based on membership (even if a little unintuitive), but I couldn't figure out how do writes that validate using roles & permissions.

I really want to like Hasura, but very quickly you'll run into limitations of its permission system. Especially when dealing with logic across relationships. If only Hasura supported some king of Prolog / Datalog instead of their

Prolog is the best way to describe these constraints. Nothing else comes close to its declarative power. The industry will catch on, eventually.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, you have a point. Seems like a "no true Scotsman" fallacy: "Yes they're used successfully in some companies, but they're not truly commercially viable".

No joke, I started my career in Step 1 with Ruby on Rails. I lived and breathed Step 2 and Step 3 with the ever-changing industry standards: jQuery, backbone, angular (avoided), react, and (currently wrangling at work) the complex beast tha

That doesn't seem to be completely true. Basecamp has a "hybrid" app, where they use native frames to load web pages for content https://twitter.com/dhh/status/940358921960677376

This is basically tailwindcss, and is an excellent approach when done well.

They are the most highly discriminated against, though.

I didn't like it at first, but after actually using it I find it very helpful in keeping on top of all types of things to do/watch/respond.

Prolog also has some really impressive debugging tools. It allows you to pause execution, change the code, and then resume execution from an earlier point in time . Michael Hendrick's "Production Prolog" talk gives a demo of

GraphQL by itself won't save you time, and might even increase it (it's a huge buy-in). You'd still have to implement the logic for those 4 endpoints, except now in a more complicated system. In contrast, tools like Hasura an

Some bootcamps may allow "from zero knowledge", but quality ones always have an assessment required to pass before admission.
