I don't think you can apply the same principles to OO and FP but in terms of refactoring, my experience is that pure functional code is a joy to test and maintain. Small pure funct…

I personally found F# to be a decent alternative to Elm for small browser apps with Fable, Elmish/Feliz, Feliz.Plotly etc. You can generate typed interfaces for any libs you're mis…

jet.com used it heavily for backend dev, grew quickly, were acquired by Walmart, 560million+ in funding: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/jet Even if you'd consider them the…

I found this project to be easy to use, it produces SVG output with d3: https://github.com/magjac/d3-graphviz

It's true that it's easier to write and arguably harder to read code when types are not specified, or at least it's handy for public interfaces between modules. Luckily this is eas…

Can you clarify what you mean? It gets subducted by plate tectonics and becomes steam when heated, presumably it's still there..

This article (which contains nothing but speculation) has been posted here already at least once.

Remote US only or remote EU also?

More interesting to my mind is this (Diamondback Ruby): http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/PL/druby/ Some features: -------------- Type inference: DRuby uses inference to model most of…

There are actually several other casual gaming startups in Hamburg e.g. Bigpoint GmbH which followed a more American model of growing as fast as possible and selling out early, so …

Any performance benchmarks of Pixate vs procedural code or vs similar DSLs, e.g. Teacup, Formation in Rubymotion?

The author claims that C has "an order of magnitude more expressiveness" than assembly with no basis for the statement, but ok. He then throws all the "compile-to-JS" languages tog…

"It's been a year since we've filed for bankruptcy and we're still there." - I work in a company that strives to follow such a model, and it honestly struggles to achieve the kind …

Firstly: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt "An implementation may set limits on the size of texts that it accepts. " - How does that "support" streaming? My argument is that most…

It is perfectly acceptable to design a library with a simplified, restricted interface that covers the majority of use cases, but not all. e.g. requests vs urllib2 For me, that's a…

...we may have very few humans left of that era

"its because they did something smart" So intelligence == 'achievement'? That makes no sense. As for nonsense, ok I'll retract that, it is an interesting but highly implausible top…

There are so many reasons not to do this. The potential site reliability risk of relying on someone else's free CDN (page not loading/loading slowly) far outweighs the slight benef…

Why do smart people love to debate the most implausible nonsense? Time travel through singularities anyone?

Also wondering about this, would be v. cool to play with it on iOS.
