TIL that pile drivers are a real thing and not just a sex position.

I don't feel awful.

You'll be happy with the latest developments: https://blog.golang.org/generics-next-step

Highly recommendable. It's the next modern classic after K&R's 'The C Programming Language'.

You mixed it up. Syntax highlighting is like doing arithmetic using colored rods: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-nuts/hJHCAaiL0s... Roman numerals is object-oriented …

Because Nim is not dependently typed. You can't get sh*t done without dependent types.

If the Unix guys were smart they would have used an Idris REPL as default shell.

The 'String', '~str' dichotomy is really unfortunate.

LLVM is a C++ monstrosity that takes hours to compile. Other programming language projects have to maintain a "temporary" fork of LLVM to achieve their goals: https://github.com/ru…

Please correct the title. The original title is correct: "Go generate: A proposal" the rest is wrong. This tool is not a preprocessor. It's as wrong as calling 'make' a preprocesso…

But why? Why not stop time instead?

You almost always need the byte count for protocols, buffers and stuff. For user-interfacing use-cases (e.g. editors) you probably want the glyph or grapheme count, not the rune co…

People are programming in completely dynamic, duck typed languages and say that these languages are best without IDE.

But but but no generics! How dare they write production software without generics?!

Too late. Ken Thompson already put the back door in his B compiler.

Recently some ignorant, nescient C++ programmer called me a Java programmer, because I use K&R style and not his preferred Allman style. Even Stroustrup uses hanging braces (with t…

But does it have syntax highlighting?
