SpiderMonkey is still used in over 2% of the browser market share, and is used in non-Firefox applications too. I'd say it matters.

But it does! Even with the weird packages I have installed (ROCm) and a ton of accept_keywords unmasks, all I have to do is overnight updated twice a month. I haven't touched /etc/portage in months.

I don't quite see it that way. Spacemacs' motto sums it up best: "The best editor isn't Emacs or Vim, it's Emacs and Vim!" Mixing and matching the strengths of both editors results in a much better experience

Inheritance is usually not the solution; composition and delegation is. Unfortunately, the current landscape of popular languages have equated "object programming == inheritance" in people's minds. The fact that these languag

You nailed it. Object programming was never about the low-level details like inheritance; it was always about managing state and sharing behavior (just like function programming!). Object programming looks at things from the perspective of

I remember crawling Freenode as a teenager with nobody to talk to about programming, and discovering ##C. At the time I had a basic idea of programming languages but was still pretty much a beginner. I started asking why my argument printer

My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each o

The really neat part about this is that it still uses the original SQLite files, so it will work retroactively once you add the configuration to your repo. Great article!

"Complies" is an overstatement. The independent repair program they released was so restrictive and missed so many key parts that it felt like intentional sabotage/poisoning of the well. "We helped independent repair sho

From my (admittedly shallow) understanding, each "await" in an async function creates continuation points, is that correct? And then when the internally used Promise resolves or rejects, the function resumes from the continuation

When I don't know about the subject matter in a post, my first instinct is to research it myself for a bit to see if I can figure it out. I would recommend you to do the same.

This is the version I remember hearing about too! It's very fitting.

I'm not sure how this is anymore inefficient than what a functional design would come up with. Is asking the objects about their behavior any more inefficient than dispatching yourself based on the characteristics of that object? >

There is in fact associated behavior; it is just moved off the object in an effort to avoid the after-effects of many languages which implement "OOP". Behavior doesn't have to be part of the object directly, in fact I support

I believe this to be an artifact of our current paradigm of software development, which is based purely around static "batch processing" where the software can't be molded easily. (I didn't want it to come off as a plug,

Are you talking about the specific case in the expression problem article? It seems to mainly be a problem when an object's behavior can't be modified, either through the language faculties or through other means like a module sys

Well, as my sibling comment says, you have just re-implemented dynamic dispatch in object programming ;). As a response to your edit, note that dynamic dispatch and immutability are not mutually exclusive; an object can have immutable state

Well, I am a very strong proponent of keeping the hierarchy open in all possible cases; the object should be the one that defines the behavior in all cases, and an object's behavior shouldn't be restricted just because it comes fr

Visibility as a concept is one I also disagree with :) I lump it together with the "OOP" classification in my original comment. I agree with you in this regard. The messages an object is able to respond to should not be restricted

I'm all for ADTs but the reasons the article gives are all wrong, and in fact I think it makes the code a lot worse as a result. Object programming doesn't mean "inheritance trees", that's just the (IMHO overly simp

Literally just don't sign CLAs. I made the mistake of signing a CLA for a piece of software which shortly after switched to a non-Free license, and will never ever sign a CLA again.
