How is it implemented in Java or C# if not via runtime reflection? I've always assumed that's the way its done...

Ah, I stand corrected then. I've worked with the Microsoft tech stack very very little, so I've never bothered to learn C#. I've completely forgot about Java; I haven't used it in ages. Now that you mentioned Java, I rea

Ah, I don't use Apple devices, so I've never been able to play with Swift(1). So I didn't know Swift had it too; thank you for pointing it out! (1): which is a shame, I remember when it came out that it seemed like a nice lan

I don't think that's true. Or at least we have different ideas about what's being discussed... Let's take JSON or YAML for example: Rust's closest siblings C and C++ are typed, and you get a pretty much untyped mess

For me personally, I found that they help reduce the noise in the code. I also noticed that it makes it a bit easier to "read" the code (not just visually, but "semantically" if that makes sense). As in, I think I have t

Your original question of "does typescript get better?" can be rephrased as "does any tool become easier to wield with greater/better understanding?" and the answer is "yes". Without a [concrete] example o

While this is probably alright for some data, I'd definitely recommend using something like a Map instead (especially if the object mutates) for things you have control over (ie it's not describing an endpoint or something similar

I wanna tell a story that happened a few years ago (edit: turned out to be loosely related stories as I remembered them)... Suddenly #ruby had a new rule: the word "guys" was banned to refer to people. Why? Because it's sudde

There are native solutions in browsers. I think they mean that they'd have to use their own custom "rust to dom" ones, if they didn't like the native browser ones (they do have some limitations around styling and formatt

Hello! Thank you for pointing that out! I was a bit silly and somehow came to the (wrong) conclusion that "Lucas" (the first commenter) was the name of the author... I don't even know what to say lol. I just went a bit derp

Hi! Thank you so much for pointing out it's not a man! I thought it was "Lucas", because of the comment . I've updated my comment to reflect that. I also completely agree that it's a much bigger picture and that li

I love her attitude, and I think mine's similar. Main difference being that I usually enjoy the learning experience; don't find it frustrating. I kinda love that beginner feeling and knowing there's lots to explore. Even if I

I think people are harsher over the intent more than the the hashing algorithm being used (it does exacerbate the problem, though)?

I saw a lot of people talking about programer/developer vs computer scientists. I just wanted to add to that that CS/maths doesn't make you a good engineer either. Some of the smartest computer scientists I know are just horr

Sorry, I should've clarified that I meant specifically meant in recent versions of Rust. I wasn't speaking in the general sense. I've experienced slow compilation times in C++ projects, although not of the same magnitude you

by spoiler 5y ago
In my experience (C++ dev at work) C++ generally feels slower than Rust. Edit: I quickly realised, this might only because of Rust's—in my opinion—superior type system and tooling, so maybe it just requires less waiting for compilati

While I agree that the compile times are bizarre, I don't think we can jump to conclusions such as "such astronomical compile times are rather a result of terrible code quality" without knowing more about what's being co

I'm really curious what you were compiling, and if you remember the machine specs (and was the machine under other load at the time). Two hours seems beyond ridiculous. Also, I'm assuming it was a full (as opposed to an incremen

I don't understand why this comment was flagged and so heavily downvoted (edit: vouch seems to unflag it). Can someone explain? The advice seems reasonable to me.

Out of curiosity, what did you parse? Since in I imagine copying things is quite useful sometimes when generating an AST. On top of that, I think sometimes you can't avoiding copying (imagine a string with special backslash sequences l

On one hand I do like the idea that it's a shell since it means in it's nicely integrated with itself (can't think of a better phrase), but on the other hand it's also what's making me a bit reluctant to seriously c

In that case it makes more sense. It's still kinda confusing on its own, though. Maybe link to the presentation slides directly, or better yet—upload a video of yourself doing the presentation!

I appreciate the sentiment for this, but I personally find the art and composition off-putting. The writing is a bit confusing. What's with the file transfer jargon? Was this part of a bigger presentation or blog post maybe?
