golang and Clojure are not in the same space, so it doesn't make sense to compare them. And I question this litmus test of using a junior dev anyway.

by za3faran 3y ago
golang mainly ended up competing with and replacing the likes of python and ruby, where it was intended to compete with C and C++, where it didn't really change anything. It makes sense in retrospect of course, python and ruby are slow

That last claim needs backing up. Sources are World Health Organization (Suicide Rates 2019) and World Health Statistics (World Health Organization)

Yes I wouldn't be surprised at all. It's easy to see how much lower suicide rates are for example in so called "third world" countries that have been war torn, due to no small part by Western colonialism, compared to &qu

Sorry to hear about you and your daughter, and I hope you're both doing better. Was she a heavy social media/cell phone user? It's been shown to cause mental issues in teens, especially girls.

This is where we see the limits of science. It's a great tool and a lot of benefit came from it. But at some point we encounter things beyond its domain. Us people of faith know that God is the cause of existence. In Islamic Kalam we h

They still do even today. Scientism, capitalism, socialism, communism, liberalism, etc. are all religions.

All it takes is one drunk driving incident or one drunken homicide incident to turn your life around, which I hope no one has to face. Majority or no majority, the facts and statistics speak quite well about the topic. As discussed in anoth

I hope to see the day where interest bearing loans are recognized by the rest of the world as the evil they are. Muslims and Jews know this fact quite well.

Java has intersection types.

This is the approach of trying to address the symptoms and not the cause. I also mention homicides in my post, but some people are conveniently ignoring it. The dangers of alcohol have been well documented.

I also mentioned homicides in my post, not just driving, do you want to ban human relationships as well? The dangers of alcohol at all levels have been quite well documented.

I've used golang at an employer who invented their own "application framework", including dependency injection and hooked up to the rest of their libraries, including RPC side car and whatnot. Let me tell you, that was not a

We'll probably look at what's happening today the same way we look at lobotomies. It's quite scary. As usual, those people are trying to address the symptoms, not the cause.

I agree that prohibition works when you shift society's look towards it. It is well documented that when intoxicating drinks were prohibited in Islam, everyone poured their stashes down the street basically the moment it was prohibited

> there is still alcohol being consumed in muslim countries. Just because it is consumed, does not mean that it is generally accepted or expected. It's recognized as a sin, and is frowned upon.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by expression trees for lambdas?

Hopefully Java is getting value types and primitive types soon-ish.

I don't see how the desire to trace back your lineage and know your family tree automatically translates to being a racist.

Perhaps, but it's also an acquired taste, and you can train yourself to enjoy foods with water, speaking from personal experience. Yogurt drinks go well with many foods as well, especially spice ones.

We Muslims cannot draw or make statues of any prophet or messenger as well, and anything with a soul as well.

The burden isn't on us, you're the one making the weird and incorrect claims about our society. It has also been shown that in secular liberal societies that instituted and implemented egalitarian policies, both genders separated

You don't have to use inheritance, but it's there when you need it. Private data are also very useful.

We don't see showing skin as a right, and that applies to both men or women, with respective differences of course. We're a conservative traditional society. We're well aware that our values don't align with the liberal
