I’m talking about code organization, not types. In Julia, methods are grouped together by type dispatch, mostly. There are times when code reuse comes into play where it’s helpful,…

Jesus. This is the most tasteful, flexed out but not over the top landing page I’ve ever seen. I love it. I’ve no use for something like this, but I’m in absolute awe at the design…

C++ is a beaut', compared to Perl. It's ugly too, don't get me wrong. I'll be the last one to hold up C++ or PHP as beautiful, but Rust is just too gross to look at, I have NO idea…

I haven't used asyncio that much, certainly not in any serious sense, but wouldn't ContextVar lookups be a major factor of performance in serious asyncio code? Using tasks for thin…

I hate the back talking and advertising. I already bought the device, I’m a prime member, why can’t you just tell me the temperature and shut the fuck back up? I hate the stupid th…

Are there some large users or projects that are committed to the stdlib and not Base that I could look into or read about? Thanks in advance.

Comment #35041423
So, you’d say there’s a healthy contingent of upstream devs dedicated to the health and diversity of the built in stdlib? May I also ask, have you worked with Ocaml for any medium …

I’ve been reading about microbiomes and things like that over the past year, and I suspect there’s a biological aspect to a lot of mental health issues in workplaces. Certainly the…
