This is all very nice as an idea or a mythical background story ("Go was designed entirely around CSP"), but Go is not a language that encourages "sharing by communicating". Yes, Go has channels, but many other languages

You can argue about how likely is code like that is, but both of these examples would result in a hard compiler error in Rust. A lot of developers without much (or any) Rust experience get the impression that the Rust Borrow checker is ther

Most people in Japan live outside of the Yamanote circle in Tokyo. Rural and Suburban supermarkets have parking lots (although in central areas they can still be quite small) and people still use cars for shopping trips, especially in the c

I'm afraid this article kinda fails at at its job. It starts out with a very bold claim ("Zig is not only a new programming language, but it’s a totally new way to write programs"), but ends up listing a bunch of features tha

This is a pretty in depth overview of a complex topic, which unfortunately most people tends to dumb down considerably. Commonly cited articles such as "What Color is Your Function?" or Revisiting Coroutines by the de Moura and Ie

I wish I could upvote this more. I can totally understand GP's sentiment, but we need to dispel the myth that results are just checked exceptions with better PR. I think the first issue is the most important one, and this is not just a

I'm happy about the adb loophole, but I'm worried this would be just the start of the slippery slope, and Google would find a way to lock down adb next, citing the risk of malware sideloaded by fancy tools wrapping adb, once they

It only goes through "apt the program", but apt is just serving as a method of installing a package, which is hosted on one of the configured apt sources. Calling all software installed through apt "first party" is a wil

I think you meant to say that tokenization is usually done with UTF-8 and a single Japanese character generally takes 3 or more code units (i.e. bytes). Unicode itself is not the culprit (in fact, even with UTF-16 tokenization, most Japanes

Considering there are two different official written forms of Norwegian, that's not really saying enough, but I guess they mean Bokmål.

Not sure if I should be get bonus points for that, but if mappa means map, the ultimate origin is still Semitic. Latin seem to have took the word maappa from a Canaanite language. The word mappa (and it's older version "manpa&quot

Yes, this is very weird. But Go Playground[1] has always been using 8 spaces per tab for some reason. I always found that very jarring, particularly where almost every other editor or documentation has settled on 4 spaces per tab. [1] http

But even this statement is incorrect. FRP frameworks with Observables will remain useful in Java (as they have in other languages that already had coroutines). It's only the use of Observables as _an alternative for coroutines_ that is

I feel like Go's concept of readability is very Blub-oriented[1]. Can a Blub programmer read this line? Then it's readable. Sometimes Go fans would say that this code: var result := []string{} for i = 0; i < items.Length(

I think there is an issue where reactive frameworks are massively overused in languages that have (or had) weak concurrency patterns. This was true for a while in JavaScript (before async/await became universally supported), but it&#x2

You can do a lot of things. Yes, there are formally verified programs and libraries written in C. But most C programs are not, including the GNU coreutils (although they are battle-tested). It's just the effort involved is higher and

The Amish approach to technology is completely different from the Luddites, and it doesn't teach us anything about whether we, as a society, should accept or reject a certain technology. To be more exact, there is no evidence that hist

GPU accelaration has become so common for new terminals nowadays, that I can't see the point in making that a headline feature. To be fair, the homepage has a more generic tagline ("A modern terminal for the 21st century") an

This heavyweight syntax has nothing do with OOP. No common definition of OOP (before Java came into existence) said that functions cannot exist outside of a class. Java choose to adopt object oriented purity in a very weird way. Sun has ini

This may be nitpicking, but the complexity in OOXML is not "necessary", at least not in the sense of what Fred Brooks would call essential complexity. As OP clearly demonstrate, the complexity in OOXML is not artificial: there was

It's an interesting coincidence, but I think there is a reason that the te-form in Japanese is much more fruitful than "and" in English in producing these constructs. Japanese verbs have too conjunctive forms: te-form and ren

These are not linguists doing that. No self-respecting linguists will waste time doing prescriptivism. These are two linguistic articles about this constructs that are quoting amateur language usage manuals. The oldest one is a boys magazin
