Does the free market really solves everything best? Did it solve Pi for very large number of decimal digits? Fermat's Last Theorem? Do you consult the free market when you want to decide what to do tomorrow? This maximalist position is

No, you can't really reason properly about what lives on the stack. As the Go FAQ say, you can safely assume a variable will be allocated on the stack if you never take a reference of it, but that's not always clear as it seems. F

Just putting libraries that were never designed to scale up behind RPC usually won't help you scale. These libraries tend to work with mutable, stateful objects and don't have any groundwork in place for partitioning. That doesn&#

By "classes are open" you mean that you can add methods to classes at will by just implementing a func with the right receiver? In that case they're not truly open: Go does not allow you to declare methods on receivers from o

No they're not. io.Reader and sync.Mutex do not embed the same type and do not have conflicting methods with the same name. This is how a diamond looks like: type Base struct { Foo int32 } type Child1 struct { Base }

The problem is that some managers appear to be confusing "studies show that in most cases extra money does not increase employee performance" with "employees do not want more money". It's probably true that post-rai

Pseudorandom bits are statistically indistinguishable from random bits if seeded with true randomness. And if your OS is properly configured it should be seeded with true randomness. If you prefer to use a dice, that's fine, but you&#x

You can also implement your own event loops with promises, but it's a matter of tradeoffs again: You can't control the way functions written by someone else will schedule their internal continuations - you can only control the way

You can acheive some composability (e.g. easily awaiting multiple events) by having first-class values for the coroutines/green-threads themselves. This is what greenlet/gevent does, and it's rather pleasant to use. Try doing

I assume this is exactly what SomeCallMeTim meant. Yes, explicitly awaitable futures/promises are slightly less ergonomic than coroutines, but this is a very reasonable trade-off. You give up: 1. Extra cognitive load every time you n

I was always puzzled by Python's insistence to forego string interpolation until the latest version. Runtime string formatting, even if done safely (e.g. .NET's String.Format() which doesn't have property access AFAIK), can s

Which is still not safe enough, and in effect can be used to access any global variable as described in the OP article. Rust formatting is done by macros - which expand at compile time and accept only string literals. This makes it impossib

China has a concept of face (面子 mianzi), but this concept is quite absent in Japanese culture, despite both of them being 'Oriental', and what you described right now will be quite baffling to a Japanese mind. Sure, Japan has a st

Many popular languages nowadays essentially have just one viable open source toolchain: Go has the Go toolchain (gccgo being niche), Python 3 has CPython (Jython and IronPython only support Python 2.7, and PyPy is not up-to-date), Swift has

The real problem with C (and to a lesser extent C++) nowadays is not just memory leaks or segfaults, but all the security vulnerabilities you get from the lack of memory safety. Your code might work 100% correctly for your users, but it may

Generics are not a show stopper, since they already exist (built-in support) for everything the language creators care about. Whether or not they are a show stopper for the users - well, that depends on your use case and preferences. Since

Well, had C been really strongly-typed then the hypothetical 'int[5]' and 'int[7]' would have been different types, and 'int[]' would be the size-agnostic type for an array. Then you could easily get creature c

I can see where this received wisdom is coming from: a counter-reaction to the common tendency we had well into the 90s to hand-optimize every procedure considered to be even remotely on the hot path. It didn't even have to be inline a

The functional programming approach to UI has more advantages than that. In my opinion, its greatest boon is that it allows you to cleanly separate UI logic, UI state and the actual data models, and reason about them in a straightforward wa

Why is it fair that an employer can force an employee to kill kittens and then fire the employee and prevent them from ever working when they refuse? Do you realize that what you just said has nothing to do with Non-compete clauses?
