That is pretty common in low level domains. Rust instead comes with complexity of borrowck and lifetimes management no matter how rustaceans say it is second nature.

Performance, startup time, JVM dependence, dynamic typing. And the cult around zero information statements by Rich Hickey.

They didn't have corporate backing. They didn't have aggressive marketing or zealous community. They didn't have massive influx from ruby rails or javascript webshit crowds.

Rewrite it in rust is not mature reaction from rust community. It is similar to arch linux btw boys you see in Linux communities. And GP is right, you rust folk talk as if sum type…

Everything is inefficient. There is a huge class of "developers" that don't understand what O(n) means, and a subset of them are vocally proud of it.

I don't disagree. But working at apple is not much better.

Most of the world doesn't run fine. The manager who was previously an accountant can't see the benefits of reliability, security or performance, and hires some straight-out-of-the-…

You are missing the point. How many actually try to reproduce the results by writing corresponding code themselves? Apparently lot of papers with slightly wrong findings because co…

Lack of type safety and design with no regards to performance.

What's sad is they only support very few selected Add Ons.

If anything, it proves how ineffective standards committees are. Similar to the standard library proposal which seems to be not yet implemented. Still better than C++ standard peop…

Tangentially related; is there no lint option (similar to use strict) in JS yet to ensure no methods / functions are dynamically called and thus allow effective dead code eliminati…

$10 per month is too costly for many, we are happy with 30 GB per month 4G data which costs around $2.

This is actually true. The fake news is over the limits. The elder generation believes some WhatsApp forwarded message so easily that WhatsApp and Facebook are political propaganda…

This is why I disable background data for individual apps and keep data saver on whenever possible. Also, browsing can be something like: - Ad blocking - Javascript disabled by def…

Go GC has some smart people working on it too. And Go, by the virtue of having less features, has to allocate quite more. Eg: Go doesn't have lazy ranges / streams. Dynamic dispatc…

Use i.reddit.com or use a lightweight open source client like redreader or slide (for android, sure there is something for iOS)

Fine. I was too aggressive. I have to apologize. But I still suspect there is some subtle oracle propaganda on this site. I don't mean pron is part of that though, they're an emplo…

You are biased because you don't like that the age of companies selling expensive development environments is over. And you jump in to defend Oracle every discussion. I respect you…
