I guess some of the semantics I've mentioned in my comment were wrong. I don't care about Battle.net, Facebook and Slack. All I want is to open ONE IM app, enter friend's name, send them a message, and receive message from th

Game development, as far as cutting-edge AAA-looking games, will never adopt a language with automatic memory management. I guess Rust is the only language that has a fair shot at that right now.

OMG, please no. Xcode is one of the worst and most buggy IDEs ever. The sheer number of times one has to restart the IDE, clean up the "Derived Data", go through git merging clusterfuck because of Xcode's peculiar project fil

I learned to program with QBasic and it took me colossal effort and time to kick that crap out of my head and actually understand programming. At 31, I'm still not sure I'm completely over that.
