Comparing languages is very different to compare these two SDKs. I've developed apps on both, and personally I've found Flutter significantly more solid and overall just better. Everything is faster and just works (builds, hot rel

While it may not appeal to native devs I've found Flutter a lot more appealing compared to React Native. React Native just keeps breaking things, like for example at something like 0.56 the textinput just broke on Android beyond usable

Actually Taiwan's de facto independence has probably more to do with them having a relatively large defense force ready to inflict heavy casualties to an invader. Hong Kong has no such asset.

Not sure what you're implying here - that the British will roll out illegal drugs to the Chinese market again? Look at how everyone is treating Taiwan. That should tell you enough about how nobody will be willing to compromise anything

No foreign power would ever dare to intervene with HK. Every country is simply too horny about Chinese money nowadays

Fair enough, but my point stands. Flutter is much more pleasant in cross-platform development even though this isn't even its primary goal. I understand this is not a trivial problem, just comparing my experiences with RN with Flutter.

I'd be hard pressed to say ADTs are first class citizens in Typescript. If anything, seems more like a hack over some interface primitives to me. I miss having a solid advanced type system like in Haskell when using something like Type

I have to agree with you. Moreover, you also go through plenty of pain to make the app work well on both platforms, with surprisingly much platform specific code.

I much prefer React Native's (React) paradigm over Flutter's, but as a platform Flutter is just a lot more robust in my experience. Everything just works on it while RN has all kinds of weird quirks and issues, particularly when u

Perhaps I've managed to somehow develop an inherent allergy to Java'ish languages. I use plenty of Dart nowadays and as a language it's not something I like to use. However, other things count too and the platform (Flutter) i

Thanks, excellent resources!

Wouldn't this logic make Java by far the greatest language ever invented?

Yeah you may be on to something here. Looking at GenServer callbacks as some sort of pure independent functions would not make a lot of sense, they're tightly coupled to processes/GenServer anyway.

What makes you say that? I mean what would they do better than I could do with Elixir or Haskell? I use Elixir when typical APIs or stateful soft real-time stuff is needed and Haskell whenever I have some complex data structures and logic t

I agree, Dialyzer is just... horrible. It' hard to find anything good to say about it, unfortunately. Not that it's a trivial problem to solve, I get that.

I actually started off with Elixir but now working my way up with statically typed langs, most notably Haskell. I've found Haskell's type system allows me to express complex business logic far better than anything else I've e

Couldn't find anything on Ruby validations (drop me a link?) just something about the db ORM/engine. However, Clojure's specs indeed seem to be runtime checks. Seems very different from a type system, really just packages fun

Actually it only supports having a handful of users now and the database is not encrypted. I don't think I'll ever publish it because it's certainly not a product comprehensive enough for a public release.

I'm not talking about the compiler or the evaluation. From programmer's perspective the language does seem fairly declarative to me, mostly consisting of expressions instead of statements. I don't know what's wrong about

Using a comprehensive and a well crafted type system limits the choice you can input to your functions. Drastically. If you utilize the type system right it essentially forbids you from supplying faulty data as input to your functions. Afte

Thanks, it does seem interesting! It seems there is no server implemented yet, not sure if it'll even rely on one. I've almost written mine already so I'll stick to my solution for personal needs. I'm also making my serv

From what I understand the US tuition fees are significantly higher than what the Nordic countries spend per student at colleges. Making all US schools free would likely incur much larger costs than they do in the Nordic nations. Welfare is

If you essentially aim to make all education free you'll have Nordic level taxes as a consequence.

The cost of a high test coverage could be an additional 3x lines of code for the tests. While you still need tests with an expressive type system you can basically cut the code coverage to a fraction. And maintain the same level of confiden

I didn't know about this, glad I read your comment. Stack/cabal is painful.

The refreshing part about Haskell to me is that it is declarative. It feels more natural to describe what you want to happen than to try to think like a machine and compose sequential machine instructions for it each of which can fail at an

I'm actually already building a service like this. It's only for myself and for my friend but the idea is to ask chains of questions daily. With enough time passing you can start making statistical analysis of your own data for in

I guess the real question is if people are willing to pay those higher taxes needed to cover this expense.

It's highly unlikely that any country would impose sanctions on China for such measures. Hell, we don't even have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan anywhere because everyone fears losing the chance to do business with China.

When pondering guerilla resistance it should be noted that Hong Kong is not Singapore - they have no army or any military trained population. There's just angry civilians. There won't be any guerilla resistance in Hong Kong in the
