Am in the midst of shipping a medium sized game in Unity and I can confirm your takes are correct/relevant today. Unity is incredibly frustrating to me, and I would really aggressively challenge the notion that Unity is aimed at any so

Isn't phoenix meant to remove the JS dependency on FE dev? (Not arguing with any of your points btw, JS is matter-of-factly more popular and pragmatic).

You kinda skipped the relevant part of my question. Does arguing on the internet with Java fans increase Go's usage at hypothetical person's work?

I don't agree. My argument is not that developers shouldn't have opinions, or that developers shouldn't try to improve languages (in the ways any individual developer thinks any individual language should be improved). My gri

In my experience Compilation speed is an excellent bikeshed that lots of developers complain about if they're evaluating a language. It's an easy thing to say "Well the compilation speed" as a reason to discount a langua

I really hate the wave of language "competition" and contention. Go is a language that allows lots of developers to get great work done. So is Node.js, so is Haskell, so is Rust, so is Java. The list goes on. If you find a thing y

I haven't worked in React (or frontend) in a long time, but your response is similar to how I have/would try to think about those problems. It seemed (when I was paying attention to React) that thinking was less common and most to

I think every dev should try to build a substantial codebase without any frameworks or libraries. You have to go way way beyond the "Hello, world" concept in whatever you're trying to build, ie if you're building a REST

If the author of Mint sites Elm as an inspiration, it might be worthwhile to explain the ways Mint differs from Elm? It seems like, if the things Mint offers are things a dev is interested in, they'd be better off using Elm, as I would

Off. I realized most of the people doing the cool things, were not the people tweeting about the cool things. And the people that were tweeting about the cool things were mostly just building a personal brand. I miss Kelsey Hightower's

My experience over the past year mirrors this. I'm regularly surprised that there aren't more generally-accepted and boosted solutions to lots of the minutiae that comes with DevOps/cloud config. CloudFormation and Terraform
