I'm not really sure saying that features in Go can be modeled in C really suggests that they are similar as languages. Syntax is very important.

I love that it's impossible to tell if you're mildly upset at the current state of this post or asking a mod to change it.

To be equitable, Suicide Linux might upset victims of sui-- oh. Never mind.

Just so you know, it appears you've been shadow banned. No idea why. I would suggest joining lobste.rs, an HN clone built out of frustration of HN's lack of transparency on banning.

Everyone would just make an alternate account and not apply for the checkmark on it, although I suppose that might still align with your goals.

Bots could instantly destroy whatever account they want, and people would feel guilty about following someone/something popular and just not do it, which eliminates the point of a follow system except for for personal friends/fami

So, if their best friend wants to give them a toy, you just tell them no? I'm sure that won't make them resent you at all... That works fine for adults, but it's sketchier with kids. Maybe a better system would be to make the

No, in fact there is reason to believe there's more of them.

I think the original title, " How Dinosaurs Shrank and Became Birds," would do this article more justice. The title makes it seem like the article is just discussing a well known fact, but it actually goes quite in-depth.

Closures aren't necessary for lexical scoping, and in practice they're only real use (in imperative languages, obviously quite different in e.g. Haskell) is to pass around blocks of code combined with captured variables. I think t

Just because you disagree with someone's point of view (even strongly) doesn't mean they can't have admirable qualities. On the topic of Luhmann, perhaps if you were more versed in sociology literature you would have heard of

That is genius. They should continue the trend and do a 2020 Falcon (or whatever year they choose).

Is the next release still planned to be called Python 4? I seem to recall GvR saying that at one point, though I could be mistaken.

The proper term would be a remake, I believe.

If anyone's interested in a simple single-pass compiler for a full language, you can also check out munificent's Crafting Interpreters[0]. It walks you through a Java based AST parser and C based bytecode compiler. [0] http:&#x2F

For anyone wondering, the NOPs are so that jumps don't get messed up. Assembly level GOTOs generally work on byte/word offsets, so if something intended to jump back before the calculation but was expecting two PUSH_INTs and an OP

This is one of the obvious exceptions that I mentioned. Anything to do with money counts as business critical and should be treated like brain surgery.

I don't like the comparison of software engineering to brain surgery and structural engineering. The biggest difference between the professions is how bad the average screw up is: most mistakes in software are completely harmless and c

The only programming languages where arithmetic symbols are allowed identifiers have an identifier sigil (ala Perl, PHP), require whitespace around arithmetic (some teaching languages), or don't have conventional arithmetic syntax (e.g

x+y = 0 (with that specific syntax) will error in pretty much every language.

And what would that be? They follow the 5-7-5 structure, are you just disappointed by the lack of juxtaposition of something? (Disclaimer: not a poetry buff, just reading other comments)

Or you require whitespace in arithmetic.

That's really a library problem. On a cursory glance it seems Racket supports DFTs.

I've used AHK a fair bit, and while it's quite helpful I can't help but want for a better syntax and less limited core language. I think it would do much better as a lisp with more obviously defined syntax boundaries.
