To be exact, all of these languages are statically typed and were created or at least started taking their final shape[1] after 2009, when Tony Hoare (who has the best claim for being the one who invented the null reference) coined the term

I do remember seeing this happen firsthand, but I don't remember where. Yes, this is not likely to happen with a good IDE with warnings enabled, and developers not ignoring said warnings. It is even less likely with a strict lint step

Unfortunately for Java, Optional in Java is a bit of mess now, until you'll be able to specify nullability. Since T in Optional<T> has unspecified nullability, calling Optional.of() is still unsafe and can result in an NPE, if th

Kotlin does have types with unspecified nullability, although you cannot define it directly. Kotlin calls them "platform types"[1], and they're annotated with an exclamation mark (e.g. "String!" for a possibly-nulla

What about a language which has both lightweight threads, but in which every I/O operation (including printing and getting a random number) is colored? https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/io.html

There is a parallel universe in which Brendan Eich was given more than 10 days to hack on JavaScript, and in which he presented the language with full-blown stackful coroutines instead of hacky callbacks for concurrency. There might be even

This is not just about performance. Unlike Go or Ruby, JavaScript is a single-threaded language. Synchronization constructs such as mutexes and semaphores are uncommon and not part of any standard library. When you are calling a synchronous

Protocol Buffers have schemas too (though versioning and ensuring compatibility is quite messy and requires understanding internals). And it has less overhead than MesssagePack. I'm not sure what Avro is doing, but as a rule schema e

I would put it more charitably as "Java Virtual Threads are new and have not seen massive use and optimization yet". This is crucial, because Java wouldn't necessarily require the same optimizations Go needed. Making Virtual

This is not enough. First, as another reply above has mentioned, other data in the logs (such as IP address, list of friends, browser fingerprint) can be used to de-anonymize the pseudonymous ID. Second, GDPR makes it quite clear (for the r

Nitpick: IDs that can be correlated back to a real user is pseudonymous - not anonymous - according to GDPR[1]. You should still pseudonymize your PII wherever you can, but protection measures are required. You should have a short term log

The non-ideal state of generics in Java mostly stems from having to maintain compatibility with early versions of Java that did not have generics. If James Gosling had "rushed" and copied generics Verbatim from CLU or Ada, Java wo

I think this grievance mostly comes from the core language team being reluctant to introduce generics early on[1]. The core team was never entirely hostile to generics (although some vocal parts of the Go community were), but they were quit

This is the textbook definition of the Blub Paradox[1]. If you've mostly used Go (or moved to Go from JavaScript before it had iterators, or from Java where iterators are a royal PITA to write), it won't make sense. That's ok

Go always had hidden magic: - Lowercase symbols are private to the package they are declared at. - A function called "init" will get executed implicitly on startup. - You can have multiple functions called "init" in the

These sounds sounds more like a Southern Chinese language, not Mandarin. Mandarin has highly simplified set of finals (essentially /n/, /ng/ and /r/) which cannot even combine freely with most vowels. But South

Your general gist is correct: languages with CV (consonant-vowel) phonotactics[1] with a simple vowel systems tend to develop similar features, possibly through convergent evolution: - agglutinative syntax (i.e. combining long sequences of

There are also many native Japanese onomatopoeiae using an initial p sound. Interestingly enough, if we're at Pokémon, Pikachu's name is influenced by the onomatopoeia /pikapika/ which means to shine, sparkle or flash. B

I'm not sure I get what's the problem with OpenTelemetry as it is then? I'm not familiar with the JavaScript implementation, but it seems to be modular. You can just import @opentelemetry/api and @opentelemetry/sdk-

Most major roads in Japanese cities have names. Smaller roads do not. But except for certain cities (Kyoto, Sapporo perhaps) they're just not used for addresses.

GCM is an improvement over CBC since it has authentication, but it does have a few weaknesses that CBC does not suffer from: 1. CBC does not have the same class of vulnerability to Nonce/IV reuse. Reusing an IV would leak some informat

I think most of the confusing experience comes from the way that Japanese limited express paper tickets used to work. If you rode a limited express (like Shinkansen or Narita Express), you'd have to buy two tickets: the basic fare tick

There are about 195 countries in the world (depending on how you count), I find it hard to believe that Japan is dead last on the list. I'll be the first to complain about the bad state of software in this country, but it still sits ve

I'm not sure if by other culture you mean Japan, but relatively Japanese definitely use sofa nowadays. Certainly, in the past they did not, but if you go back to the 19th centuries you could probably say the same about western countrie

I wouldn't call the wire transfers exactly instant (perhaps it depends on the bank?), but they should be at least same-day in most cases if you're doing an online wire transfer. The main problem is that most services that accept a

It's very easy to ascribe all these problems to a "general" Japanese incompetence with technology, but I don't think that this simplified explanation stands up to scrutiny. Japan was a world leader in many fields during

DPoP described in RFC9449 - you can see from the RFC number it's quite new. I don't think there's wide support for it, but at least Okta supports it[1] and I think Auth0 are also working on adding DPoP. Is it good? I'm n

"Made available at a URL" is one possible distribution mechanism, yes. But this only works for asymmetric keys. If you publish symmetric keys (e.g. for HS256) at a shared URL... Well, now everyone can get these keys and forge toke
