You could actually exec wasm with a JS/asm polyfill

The web APIs are described using the Web IDL and I believe that could be translated to C++ , Haskell and pretty much any language with more or less effort. In fact I think there are bindings for some languages such Python and Objective C

Well the IO is ultimately handled/sandboxed by the browser not by JavaScript so as far as security is concerned JavaScript and WASM should have the same access to IO/Web APIs. I think the attack surface you are talking about is re

I wouldn't say that fragmentation on the backend is a net drain as a whole...
276.
by themihai 9y ago
I think the real issue is the lack of DOM access rather than binding to JS.

I think the bottom line for a language is to be successful not whether or not the founder has whatever acreditation someone worships. I believe C has been pretty successful thus the reason why I was asking you about it...was Dennis Richie
278.
by themihai 9y ago
I can't agree though. I believe using that rationale same could be said about C and many other languages...If that's the case then, should we expect a "fix" for the master programmers (i.e. Go++)? Let's hope that wo

Comparing PHP with Go it's a bit too much, don't you think? Type system, standard library, concurrency, compilation, packing ... I hardly find similarities.

by themihai 9y ago
All the languages end up serving their domains better and maybe overlapping a bit more here and there depending by the domain you are talking about.

Is that why Dart got so popular compared to Go? What about C?

>> Often you might be willing to trade a 10ms GC pause of Go for much lower chances of memory corruption or crashing compared to C. I believe the C/C++ developers will look for a Rust-like solution(even if I don't like Rust)
283.
by themihai 9y ago
C++ is used for everything(including web development) so any language can replace C++ in various use cases.
284.
by themihai 9y ago
>> make some things that needed to be done in C++ or Rust viable in Go. like "micro controllers, AAA game engines, and web rendering engines"? I highly doubt it! Swift 5+ might have a chance but Go has none(as it is now).

It's nice to have people able to work on both backend and front-end. I think that's really the reason Node exists. Being able to fix anything within the stack makes you more agile than waiting for X team to do it for you. So it sa
286.
by themihai 9y ago
If you talk about Node I would say that only proves my point that people go to great lengths to use their preferred language whenever possible. Tell them to use JS only for DOM stuff and wasm for things that don't need DOM. Nobody woul

288.
by themihai 9y ago
I can't agree more...but I believe the issue is that WASM sold a lie. Right now if you read between the lines it is argued that WASM is there just to help JS do more not to replace it.
289.
by themihai 9y ago
Yeah, but WASM was supposed to democratise the web development not to do just server-side stuff. Without DOM and Web APIs you can't do much Web related.

by themihai 9y ago
Without DOM it's not really that exciting.

I wonder why the down-votes? For a company with hundreds of millions if not billions stashed in tax heavens and a founder who's worth £2.5bn to give a $40k award a year seems like an insult to me. It's not bad but still...even McD
292.
by themihai 9y ago
Regardless of the usefulness of the device $40K award doesn't seem a lot, especially for a company like Dayson.

by themihai 9y ago
Just quoting @l33tbro <<Well if you want to talk sanctions, I'd say selling them $110 billion in weapons a few months back is slightly more concerning than where they invest.>>

by themihai 9y ago
Nice, but I want an open source one with open datasets so that I know for sure what they are storing and eventually allow others to develop alternative engines. Nevertheless some competition in the search engine world is never bad.

>> manually managing memory at Go level What exactly do you mean? Go doesn't allow you to manage memory. At most you can give some hints to the compiler but they may or may not work depending on the compiler/version. >&gt
297.
by themihai 9y ago
Go doesn't allow you to switch off the GC on critical code sections. The switch-off is only for debug/dev purpose.

Check the specs. It's AMOLED vs OLED. Also check the ppi, brightness etc. It was so embarrassing to watch the keynote when Phil was explaining that it took longer to upgrade to OLED because they had to perfect the technology. I guess t

Well, I don't take photos very often but recently at a campfire I took few shoots(with my Iphone 6s) and for some reasons my photos were rubbish while Samsung (note 7)'s were awesome. There was no question that my beloved iPhone&#

Apparently the OLED display is a 1st generation(older) OLED from Samsung...It really felt to me they made a big deal just like they did with 4K on Apple TV.... same technology like the competition, one year later. The camera on Samsung seem
