I know many conceited programmers ;)

Thanks for the feedback. > You're projecting that the person's literary references are "name dropping things in largely irrelevant contexts". I wasn't talking about literary refere…

It's weird to see so many of these "Go is a cleaned up/incremental step up from C" when 1) There have been plenty of natively compiled, garbage collected languages without much mor…

> (1) where does Rust fit in this? It doesn't. Not any more than other languages anyway.

Maybe these programming in the large languages don't necessarily have to be fantastic for programming in the large, and in the long term. But they have to be great for this at leas…

When pron posts on a thread about lang X, it tends to be 30% about lang X and 70% raving about the JVM platform.

Avoiding name-dropping things in largely irrelevant contexts must be very hard. How do you even manage to be yourself?

Ah yes, embracing your inner elitist.

Ditto.

That doesn't look like much of a trade-off in the context of the article, though. Namely living in civilization .

> 2. Women are less prone to overconfidence > 3. Women are more ambitious Well okay.

People here seem to like talking about trade-offs , specifically technical ones. Maybe intelligence is just another trade-off.

For a second I thought someone had submitted this article with their phone and by mistake left one of those "sent from my " in as a trailing message.

Non-standard character set aside; is the terseness (one-letter commands and such) partly because of the slow input devices at the time?

> It's circling the wagons around people who had the privilege and opportunity to learn these things before everybody else. The underprivileged Bloomberg readership.

Funny that the original intent for the Go creators was to not have to write C++[1] -- which of course is in the C/C++/Rust/D space -- and that Rob Pike seemed surprised that more C…

You have some points which are to a point, and in general, true. But you present them in such a ridiculously hyperbolic way that it seems divorced from reality. Applicative is a pr…

I think this is a bad comparison. If you're, say, reading music in order to play it, why would you need things like functions and renamings in order to read it? Just read it straig…

That refactor is of a common pattern (I've seen it before; I've probably written it myself) into a bog-standard use of Applicative code. This use is pretty much the introductory ex…

I thought JS was intended to be a Scheme in disguise?

Static FP languages just feel so natural for compilers - the AST can often be perfectly naturally expressed with algebraic data types. Then you want to traverse the tree and do cer…
