I had a similar feeling a while back, but when I actually picked up Lua for a project I was shocked by how limited the standard library is. Third party libraries aside (which Python clearly has in spades), even just the standard library is

Mypy is a static type checker for Python. From the intro in the MyPy docs. MyPy is a legitimate static type checker for Python, with similar capabilities and limitations as other statically typed languages. There's an escape ha

From the previous discussion [1] on HN: I use ropes in xi editor. I did not find the argument against ropes convincing. Yes, they're not trivial to implement, but in a proper programming language you're not dealing with the data s

There is certainly some overlap between those features, but I think they largely cover different usecases. For example, consider trying to implement a List data structure in Go. What type does the List hold? It poses no constraints on the t

I recently started a graduate course that originally required C++. My only exposure to C++ basically went through the fundamentals of the C part without getting to any of the ++. Is there something similar to this for C++? I understand that

An intentional limitation, then :P I tend to agree with the Python philosophy, that it's usually better to extract and name a function that to declare it inline. The `asyncio` module and `await` keywords go a long way in eliminating m

I'm guessing, since the author used the arrow shorthand notation in Javascript as an example, that the limitations of Python's lambdas are the chief complaint

I thought Elixir supported type annotations and could perform static analysis via Dialyzer? [1] [1] https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/typespecs.html

You're totally right, if a page is merely serving static content with hyperlinks between the pages. For many types of pages, however, that's not the goal, and using JavaScript makes sense. Think of an interactive data visualizatio

I'm not the author, but I assume the intent is to allow you to share the JSONSchema definition between the front-end and back-end. For example, a developer could write an annotated .NET class using the Json.NET schema library from N

Heads up - you can use the promo code `print-is-good-F15` to get 10% off. I chose to get a nicer binding and with the code it came to about $23.20
