Another "IDE" written in some sort ofJavascript? Yeah, good luck with performance.

TIL Scheme is the only language that implements continuations.

Rust is not a C++ replacement, nor a C replacement. It targets its own niche (embedded, realtime, correctness-oriented). It's a totally different development culture. Zig, OTOH, is…

Gentoo does.

There are whole different ways of life. For example, before the abundance of oxygen on Earth, the first bacteria lived on sulphur-based biochemistry. It was slow and inefficient, b…

B-b-but my scientific consensus!!! My 97%!!! Scientific truth is clearly determined by UN/Greenpeace propaganda and mentally disturbed Swedish teenagers! Are you saying you're a cl…

My compiler only supports C11, how do you compile C major?

Both of those things were hoaxes by the Democrats. Pathetic power struggles to distract the public's eye from the real problems that ordinary people face. Who cares if some Russian…

LBYL can easily be enforced by Maybe types, leaving exceptions for really exceptional things (which a nonexisting file definitely isn't). So we see how not having a real type syste…

And the fault is with the Democrat media. CNN, NY Times rtc have been demonizing Trump so much and in such a biased way that they've turned themselves into fake news.

Bradley's are he/him.

Yet millions of people love what Trump does. And the celebrities that pledged to leave USA if he got elected somehow didn't follow on their promises. The real problem is that the c…

Flamewars are fun, you're not. Humans are fundamentally emotional beings.

I think it's the dreams of possible job heaven. With an esoteric language that can be used for finance, you can not only grow your mental gonads ("it's even smarter than Haskell!!"…

Sorry, I don't need your permission. And I'm not being mean, I'm calling out a crappy idea for what it is. If more people did it, the authors of that language and people like them …

So it's a child of a useless curiosity language (Forth) and an extremely niche arcane one (APL). Seems very promising indeed /s

I think we need to separate inheritance trees (arbitrary depth of inheritance) from mixin/trait inheritance which has height = 2. The latter is a lot more useful in eg. games where…

Ok, good to know. I was afraid that actual full-scale OOP was what saved the day, but it was unnecessary yet again.

Nope, that's not a class, that's a struct and a module with functions. Any method called as obj.foo(5) is really just a function foo with a hidden argument foo(obj, 5). Rust makes …

By "I separated things out into classes", do you mean that you used the whole triad of inheritance + polymorphism + encapsulation?

Let them have it, they certainly have fun reinventing wheels and dealing with dependency issues etc. That won't prevent a new WASM ecosystem from springing up. Not in the least bec…

An APL a day keeps the Python away, huh?

Bradley, oh Bradley, what has he done...

I really like this JS-free future we have ahead of us. I mean, I needed to format a date as text recently, and JS can't even do that without downloading some library... The sooner …
