Yes, Swift is very close. I know I'm moving the goal posts here, but... My personal itches are usually web projects. Once Swift gets async/await and Vapor|Kitura switch to it, I'll probably jump to Swift. I really dislike

Not the grandparent, but... OCaml: multicore, standard library situation (which one?) is a mess, adoption. F#: Have to deal with null and lack of ADTs when you interact with .NET (or JS for Fable) standard lib. The tooling situation in F#

This is exactly how I feel. I'd be all about Rust if it was GC'd. Go is close enough that it's what I reach for for personal projects, but not having ADTs and pattern matching is super frustrating for modeling data.

> What I find to be of highest importance is the ability to reason about parts of the application in isolation, and types don't provide much help in that regard. When you have shared mutable state, it becomes impossible to track it

I was super inspired by this when it first came out. I considered doing one for paintings/painters then realized how much effort it would require. I love sites like this...the passion John has for the woodblocks shines through the si

It makes me wonder if folks who criticize this writing would also criticize something like Neuromancer, Huckleberry Finn, or A Clockwork Orange in the same way.

I mean, it's pretty damn obvious it isn't written in French. I would hate to go through life missing out on so much forest because the trees look different from the ones I know. This is a fantastically written article full of won

The tooling around OCaml is nowhere near F#, let alone Rust. The standard library situation is less than ideal and they're still working on getting multithread support.

Totally agree on 2. "Learn a language a year" they said. "Learning new languages expands your thinking" they said. What they didn't say was that once you use ADTs to model data, Maybe/Option types to avoid n

Agreed. I switch every once in a while (iPhone 3GS -> Evo 4G -> Nexus 4 -> Nexus 5 -> iPhone 8) to keep things interesting. Most of the apps I used on Android are present in iOS. I would give an edge to Android on general OS

"is all that's needed to start programming" No it's not. You first have to know that it's a thing that you might be able to do. Who knows what other barriers are there unless they live it?

I don't think that link points to what you intended: it links to a simple html file with a blank script file. Code can be great documentation if you already understand how to get there. Sometimes maps are better for people new to the

Really? I couldn't even figure out how to get started with Riot. Vue's Guide walks you step-by-step from scratch how to get up and running. It also has a section on how to structure larger apps once you understand the basics.
