RFCs are not legally binding. Most politicians have no idea what a RFC is. They don't care about the actual technical details. They will just order a result without being aware of how unrealistic and harmful it is. You might be an educ

Is D better than C++ for many things, including teaching? Definitely. It is a nice language that produces fast programs and is nice to read. It's also very good as a scripting language that can be compiled on demand with rdmd. But I ha

Take a look at https://helix-editor.com/ . It is basically a continuation of the ideas behind Kakoune but with a primary focus on modern day programming with a language-server. I use it for most of my programming today, beca

GitHub.com still doesn't support IPv6. I know that there is some work going on to support it, but this shows that it is far from trivial.

And only 2 years later Rust 1.0 was released with a borrow checker (which is not mentioned in the blog post). I think one of the reasons why Rust turned out to be so well-designed is that Rust has a very open development approach where peop

If I understand you correctly, transduces transform something like (map fn1 (map fn2 (map fn3 collection))) into (map (fn [x] (fn1 (fn2 (fn3 x)))) collection); Is that correct? More idiomatic clojure: (map (comp fn1 fn2 fn3) collection)

That's shortsighted. GP doesn't want to share their phone number, because then that phone number is likely to be sold together with their other data which can lead to more nasty problems.
