This plugin has been worked on and the issue could have been fixed by now. I rarely used VSCode for D because the language doesn're really need an IDE support like Java or Scala. But I do agree that for beginners and IDE support is imp

D is used in prod :) I don’t know a single company in Europe which uses Nim. And it is definitely an easier to pick up language.

It is or was used by some companies in Munich (funkwerk) and a few others. Companies like ebay and netflix have some projects in D. The users are mostly C++ veterans so the forums are full of experienced ppl who can help. I used it heavily

Every time some survey pops up, TF somehow looks still relevant while I know noone who uses it or even considers using it unless they are new to DL field. How much of TF here is v2.0?:)

by tastyminerals2 3y ago
We use exclusively PyTorch at work both for CV and NLP tasks and this is the standard nowadays. Keras was cool 5 years ago (last time I checked it) but it somewhat quickly faded due to TF.

It's not the fact that the bugs were fixed. It would be really strange to revisit this article and find out that they weren't, right? It's the fact that the author has spent years working with the language and published sever

Story wise, yes. DE main quest is a classic detective story. Music and art of DE though is probably one of the best in RPG genre.

I see. Right, 2017 was the first time I tried Julia and never came really back. Then the Torch, TF, Keras, PyTorch era started and kept ML engineers busy while I think Julia couldn’t keep up. Well, there is Flux. Not sure how it compares.

Come on. Julia is >10 years old. This was a language design decision many years ago, the shortcomings of which have been addressed much later when it started to be clear that it is a problem. Native code caching is available only since 1

I like to explore alternatives to Python and Julia has been one of the tools I am waiting to become mature enough to actually invest some time in. But every time I start reading threads, I see the comments from actual users reporting about

So, you mean that loading a bigger project in Julia was more or less equal to compiling it with some language like C++? And you had to do it every single time in order to work with the project? This doesn’t sound too good tbo.

Nim is a strange choice to come to mind while there is Lua. Much more approachable and lightweight glue language for numerous C libs and tools existing on any os. If you go in that direction than D seems like a better choice that could also

Nope. I am somewhat in disbelief about the level people here downgrade the recent Bing upgrade. The chatbot feature is a such a time saver for jobs where you need to write tons of abstract surface-level content. Just yesterday, I tried comp

When someone says that they used this and that technique to increase their research productivity, I always think about TRIZ and the fact that so few ppl know about it.

It’s weirdly saddening that these are the things ppl need to create a whole list for and keep being reminded of. Yet, it is very often is the case. The vast majority of engineers don’t even consider these to be of big importance. I wonder i

Strange jump from one new language to another which is intended to solve different set of problems. Why not Nim (which actually has some data libs to compare against)? Performance wise Julia and Rust are not a fair comparison either once yo

I like D and could pick it up easily. It feels a lot like C without memory management overhead, Ada-inspired safety and lots of productivity feats. However, where D really shines is the amount of time between learning the language and start

Plenty of great answers above already. What I also think is a valid argument is that in order to appreciate the language, one has to be a seasoned developer hence many heated discussions on HN or Reddit. It reminds me of Lua, where at least

That was a direct order from the self proclaimed president. The plane was 10 min away from Vilnius airport but the fighter jet was closer. Do you understand the difference? And btw there is a high chance the journalist will be executed.

I disagree, it was the Nim syntax that kept me away from the language back in the Uni when I tried it out. If anything, C syntax is barely as easy to read.
