Me too! May be they want it to look that way?

And surely it would be better to have many implementations than a couple?

Unless you need to go to the toilet it is probably more comfortable to stay in your car. Not being able to get out of your car in an emergency would be a bigger problem.

See here: http://ceylon-lang.org/documentation/1.0/roadmap/ I hate to say it because I like JetBrains and have given them lots of money over the years but I prefer Ceylon to Kotlin. They are very similar lang

If you like Kotlin also look at Ceylon from RedHat. In some ways very similar to Kotlin with null-safety and improved generics.

What is it with all these web pages stealing my back button lately? This site adds three pages to my browser history for one click. Also, in my totally non-objective opinion, the font used on that page feels really shouty to me.

Doesn't go just implement Hoare's communicating sequential processes, as does Erlang? They share the same inspiration. You don't need to share state data between your goroutines if you don't want to either just like you don't have to use mn

go does have file organisation. You can create packages in directories and nest them and the tooling will handle it easily.

The go command will install third party packages from source code repositories if you know about them. There is a dashboard of packages on the go web site but I believe further work is needed for discovery on the command line.

Interesting, but worth remembering, as Rich Hickey says, every bug has got past both your unit tests and your type checking.

They keep going with the same level of quality until the very end. Even the three draft chapters of the unfinished 21st volume left me wanting more.

Or as in my experience as an EE, learn how to use Laplace transforms, find a table for the 2nd order differential equations, use Laplace transforms, forget how to solve differential equations.

Things I like about Go: The compilation speed is super fast which makes it feel like you are developing with a scripting language as opposed to a statically typed language. I typically edit code, run the tests and correct my errors without

Plain old Java compiles way faster than Scala I don't believe the JVM is the main contributor to the slowdown. Scala compilation is complex, partly due to its extremely sophisticated type system, it is also quite resource intensive - I have

by timclark 15y ago
If it compiles faster than Scala I will use it! From reading the language specs it seems much more pragmatic than Scala (as does ceylon http://www.ceylon-lang.org/ or fantom http://fantom.org/ ). I think if JetBrains thought that Scala w

Netbeans is less compelling now that we have IntelliJ CE but given a choice between Eclipse and Netbeans, I would choose Netbeans every time! Eclipse has always seemed to me to be baroque and over complicated, for example why do I need to c

You can use undefined, the nearest equivalent to null in Haskell, anywhere you like and it is just as bad as using null! However, typically you don't because as you point out Maybe is a better alternative.

Congratulations on releasing the code! I am looking forward to using the algebraic types when you get them finished.

Most of the expensive CMS products have edit in place, so a user can just click and edit. This does come with quite a large overhead in pageweight in my experience.

Lots of Java development is carried out for internal business applications and like it or not they would typically be integrated with third parties using something like SOAP or a shared database. So in this type of application the choice of

But you understand interfaces, you have just given an explanation. The candidates I interviewed didn't explain themselves at all, I think if a language has a feature you should be able to explain when and when not to use it. I think that al
