Doesn't apply as much to Clojurescript due to it being dynamically typed and its flexibility. Sure, you often write a wrapper, but it's more of an abstraction and a good practice, …

R.E. scaffolding in C#, with upcoming .NET 10, it's really simple: - Write code to myfile.cs - `dotnet run myfile.cs` That doesn't need scaffolding either. And the standard library…

What are you implying by that?

So you make incrementing a counter a full page reload?

They’re not mutually exclusive. Most of the large performance improvements are from .NET, the runtime and compilers. They’re not related to C#.

.NET has come to be a very solid, performant, cross-platform, productive runtime. I always come back to it for most projects. Thanks to everyone involved!

There is no lock-in to Microsoft in C#. It hasn't been like that for years, and it's only getting better. IDE wise, there is Rider, which is free now, and one of the best IDE exper…

Did you discover Scala 3 and give it a thought? I think of it as Rust with an _overall_ stronger type-system, but where you don't have to worry about memory management. It has an a…

I am genuinely curious too. .NET is a very mature, very performant runtime, and I think of F#, a beautiful, productive language, running on it a big pro. Perhaps things used to be …

Their flagship models are available for free for everyone: aistudio.google.com. You have the option to enable "search grounding" to get the same thing as ChatGPT Search.

Offtopic: As an Iraqi Kurd, it's quite amazing (and surprising!) to find another Clojurian in Iraq. Also, the website looks and runs great!

When was the last time you tried C#? These days, it's as simple as getting dotnet and executing "dotnet new -o MyNewProject" to make a new project. Then "dotnet run" or "dotnet wat…

There are many screen recorders that do not show a "giant banner", and even if there weren't, it's ~200 LoC to implement an efficient screen recorder for Windows that's hidden.

If you mean windows, it has been so many years since .NET has been able to run on many different platforms; and by now, most of the ecosystem supports majority of platforms too.. Y…

Why would you avoid .NET?

Some form of static typing != proper static typing. The 'static typing' from Python (and other previously dynamic languages) do not come close to Dart's; neither does Typescript's.…

Besides the 'correctness' issues, all of the issues that blogpost mentioned were fixed back then ASAP. Most of it arise from the usage of @inbounds, which to be fair, the documenta…

I think the implication is that @inbounds turns out of bound memory accesses into undefined, silent behavior, which can stay hidden and cause weird bugs later on. Out of bounds wit…

I think Elixir is doing quite well now. It's by no means mainstream, but it's also not in the same category as Clojure; it's on a slow,steady positive trajectory.

Yup. I think it's because Elixir has powerful LISP-like meta-programming facilities that it allows the seamless communication Rustler and Zigler provide. I haven't seen anything as…

"Our sponsors - Mythic Beasts ISP provides us two virtual servers with 400 TB/month of free bandwidth to help our users with maps downloads and updates." On their github README.md.…

A lot of ugly,unreadable code has come into existence because of the need to twist it into NumPy calls. If you can replace these with good old for loops and achieve similar perform…
