>macOS is much more coherent ecosystem when it comes to native. Then again if you try to run a gtk3 app like Fractal mentioned above on Mac OS, you will see that it looks exactly like a Gnome application.

Well, yes :) And 4GL languages are actively being used to create new business, so who knows what's dead and what's not. Perhaps the whole programming field is just a bunch of undead things. Sometimes a bunch of living things stumb

Yeah, when I wrote the comment, I kinda guessed that people would point out the zombie-like state of living for these languages. That's only barely being alive, though, and very much faded. (I did have C in there but edited it out. I d

Pascal, perl, ASP, every ML, Fortran, Cobol, Eiffel, Modula, all "4GL" languages.

No, more like 15-20%. If you're getting 10%, you're being ripped off.

27% in that test is pretty good, though. That's 750K requests per second. That test says nothing about real world performance though, that's true. The db read and write benchmarks are more useful.

Swift is a brilliant environment. Always good to see more adoption for it. http://swift.org I simplify it as an easier Rust that comes with an official REPL.

Ubuntu LTS is a first-class citizen for Swift, and some Linux distros have unofficial packages. It includes a cli application like many other frameworks do.

If that's true, it's the fault of everyone in their 20s who did jack shit in their youth to protect their future selves. Unions, guilds, worker protection laws. That sorta stuff. But it's Communist China, so perhaps not.

The iPhone SE has a headphone jack. The latest leaks seem to indicate that the upcoming SE 2 will also. But perhaps the screen size is too small for kids.

My anecdote is that coffee definitely has something besides caffeine that affects the central nervous system. I tend to quit drinking coffee few times a year, and I replace it with heavy tea drinking. No amount of tea makes the withdrawal s

This study showed, though, that 0-100g of alcohol per week is somewhat safe. That makes the safe upper limit about a wine bottle per week, or a single beer every day. The problem alcohol shares with other hard narcotics, of course, is that

I'm not yet sure if "server-side Rust" is actually viable. Some of the language concepts are too complicated, and the obvious benefits (no need for GC and better control for concurrency) don't seem to apply to many serve

Perhaps they'd be worried that their tool would be used primarily for narcotics trade. Oh wait, they already have zcash. Well, perhaps it's the redundancy between those two.

People move around, and that's fine. After two decades of mostly using Linux, I just made a leap of faith into the walled garden of Apple, replacing pretty much every Linux and Windows box with either nothing (the best choice!) or a Ma

Because that sameness is irrelevant, and building something on it decreases clarity. Just because you can show something in mathematical terms doesn't make it useful.

You (and the other repliers) seem to be confused. It's not that I don't understand monads, it's that I don't value them. It seems obvious to me that they serve mostly to harm code quality.

You think the lack of technical innovation is what makes products fail? Seems to me that it's actually the opposite that's true.
