I don't even bother with WSL anymore, most dev packages I use comes as prebuilt Windows binaries bundled as zip-packages that you can unzip anywhere and run. No dependency management, no magic updates, no PPAs, run how many versions of

> without them I presume the guards need to be coded manually elsewhere in the program. That is my conclusion as well, reading the Oberon manual a SET seems just to be a normal set but for integers only, thus you have to manually check i

If you read the paper, From Modula to Oberon by Wirth, I already linked in a pervious comment when answering the question about subranges, you can also find the reasoning behind the removal of enumerations. "Enumeration types appear to

Yes, you will always pay one way or the other. I work as a contractor, thus I have read a lots of code from various different types of projects and the conclusion is always the same, if they had spent more money on skill to begin with I wou

Definitely. I write PHP at work, everything from 10 year plus legacy cruft to brand new projects, and it still works well. I'm not a Python developer, but it is probably true that Python is a better designed language and has more bells

PHP doesn’t ship with an API for creating threads, but PHP can be executed in threads depending on setup. And it does that without using a GIL, instead it internally uses something called Thread-Safe Resource Manager https://gith

Funny thing is that PHP does not have GIL, thus it would perform better on each of those things that you list.

Problem here is that the legislators have skipped making laws on this area because of expedience, politicians have hotlines to the big tech where they can call in ask for content to be removed without any transparency or records whatsoever.

Thanks, got a better understanding of the Python "philosophy" because of this article, easy to follow even if you haven’t written a single line of Python like me.

As a non-Python dev I tried the other day to read up how decorators work in Python using the docs, can’t say it helped.

Why do you strongly dislike Python? Language design, standard library, community, leadership?

Instead of only getting one shitty JavaScript stack, you get two. Great.

Languages are not that time consuming to learn, it is the development environment, frameworks, libraries, community, best practices, tooling etc that takes a lot of time.

How does Python have better ergonomics? Better developer experience for Python is probably true, more mature community I can't say either way. Edit: One thing that would be nice in PHP is decorators.

I have to ask, what is then the point of using Python as a backend (not questioning for data crunching)? Funny thing here is that PHP works exactly the same with its share nothing architecture. You always need to go outside of PHP handle st

PHP can be built as either thread safe (TS (the term ZTS, Zend Thread Safe, is also used)) or non thread safe (NTS), depending how you deploy PHP (how the webserver interacts with PHP like FastCGI or SAPI, if it spawns processes or threads)
