Just coming from Hong Kong or Tokyo I don't understand how someone can write an article like this without feeling completely embarrassed. Bart is a symbol of American incompetence.…

>It doesn't take a complicated renderer to make a usable browser. 99.9% of front end web developers and back-end as well won't even know how to begin to do this in C or C++. Nowada…

Nah. That's crossing over to not being a web dev anymore if you're writing a browser engine in C++ and the renderer is in vulkan or opengl. If someones writing a rendering engine i…

Yeah or change the laws everywhere so copyright isn't a crime. Easy peasy.

He hasn't been in the industry long enough to see that most of the pillars of software engineering are built on top of massive tech debt. When I say tech debt I mean design flaws c…

I think the opposite. The tools keep changing because they think they have a solution to a problem and they end up creating something that's relatively ineffective. If you been in …

Ah I see. My mistake.

This stuff is foundational to things that check for program correctness. For examples type checkers check if the program is type correct. The foundations of these checkers rest on …

Two high level abstractions that compile into another high level abstraction called SQL. Why increase the complexity of something that's already a high level abstraction? Abstracti…

Orms are a huge mistake. SQL is already a very high level API that compiles to low level algorithms? Why put another very high level API on top of that? To top it off SQL is a leak…

Python is data oriented. Nobody is talking about origins of programming languages. That is a separate topic. We are talking about the language as it stands now based on how it's us…

I know. But the syntax is still script style. The syntax is more closer to Python then it is to C++.

It is. Ruby and python are in the same class despite python being more data oriented. Julia is the same thing. Data oriented.

Perfect! Thanks!
