This is a terrible article. I'm not even sure the author researched this before writing it. There's straight up false information about each of the languages.

You can't list objects by tag.

I'm quite tired of “What Color is Your Function”. In the five years since it was written I have yet to care about this supposed explosive problem in any language that uses async/aw…

I think it's likely that's the joke.

One issue I have with this is that on many of the “battlegrounds” of the “culture wars”, non-participation is effectively the same as fighting for one particular side.

I think the people disagreeing with this greatly overestimate what is actually contained in a library like Redux. An entire ecosystem sprang up around it and most of it is complete…

I agree that Rust is more suited to ECS than hierarchies. However, the choice is not between ECS or inheritance. The reason I say that the community is overly fixated on it is that…

I think this is because of Rust. In my opinion the Rust game dev community is overly fixated on ECS. On the bright side, Rust has some damn good ECS libraries.

I don't know if I think Helm is garbage but I feel like it's almost always more trouble than its worth. Most charts can be boiled down to just a couple resources and instead of sif…

Sure, there's nothing that says established practice is better. That is not, in my opinion, a good defense of Go which makes many baffling design decisions. Besides, an appeal to t…

I would argue that Go's design as a whole is characterized by an attitude of ignoring established ideas for no other reason than that they think they know better.

In my opinion, the first is a terrible interface because I have no idea what any of the parameters do, not because there are so many. The second is a good interface to me because a…

I personally think reasons like this are just pulled out of thin air to justify simple style preferences. For example, `this` is an entire word that the editor draws in a different…

I adopted this style after working in TypeScript for a while and then going back to C#. I came to really like having an explicit receiver on every function. I work in a lot of lang…

How exactly does the default state work if that's the case? Is it just up to the user to treat the state as immutable and copy it rather than modifying it?

Seems like compared to Redux this would make server-side rendering very challenging. Each atom is a global singleton so I'm not sure how you could render individual requests.

I find it really annoying how JavaScript is treated on developer forums like this one. Why is it that when the same exact things are done in a typical language it's called “tooling…

> Isn't this missing the point? It's not about the overhead of declaring a new function, it's that you've made one of the props change on every render, so your child element needs …

Describing ops as “writing yaml files” is like describing software engineering as “typing.”

I mean that's all well and good but I can't switch over my company's infrastructure to GCE for the next two days.

Organization may not be a “business” thing but Trello, Asana, JIRA, and Slack sure are.
