The standard Ocaml compiler doesn't elide it and as far as I'm aware neither do any of the publicly available libraries. All of the lazy stream implementations in Ocaml have a performance cost similar to Java streams. Haskell and

I see people quoting him occasionally. They're always mocking him and this site though.

It's not clear that the first two even had direct contact with RMS and they don't even make any serious allegations. Barely anyone cares that RMS had a mattress in his office, lots of people at MIT have done that, and nobody is ev

RMS isn't even the only person that has had a mattress by the door in their office at MIT. It used to be common enough, among both males and females, that nobody thought anything of it.

I'm not seeing much from women that actually went to MIT and interacted with him there. A lot of the accusations I've seen are second hand stories/rumours from third parties that never went to MIT or interacted with him dire

I can't link either of the two I use here for obvious reasons, but the primary one I frequent is just a private website made by a bunch of Googlers. It's basically just an invite only forum with a more complicated trust/permi

You are correct. I should have limited my statement to discussions between people using their real identities. I also think this is subjective depending on how much value you place on being able to identify the participants. For example, in

My apologies, I should have made clear that my post wasn't directed at the article. > Wasn't most "legitimate discussion" already happening in private already? Probably, but I think there was still much more interesti

One of my main concerns is that almost all legitimate discussion is now happening in private invite only communities because people are too risk averse to continue to chat on public sites that will be indexed forever in a culture where they

I believe you can get a better normalized form of SubsetFoo by instead doing: type SubsetFoo = Extract<Foo, { kind: 'B' | 'C' }>;

I agree. My main issue is with the Java zealots that come into the discussion and make it seem like anyone can just take their existing Java application and use it with an AOT compiler. The reality is that you will most likely have to make

by skjfdoslifjeifj 6y ago
The free AOT compilers have atrocious compile times (far, far worse than even Rust or Scala) and don't support all of the features so library support is extremely fragile. A lot of extremely popular Java libraries make extensive use of

I still use IDEA Ultimate for Java but over the last few years I've fallen back to vim or vscode for basically everything else since the language servers for Python, Typescript, Go and Rust now provide most of the features that I actua
