    That sort of proves my point, though. Spring support for GraalVM is ongoing and will likely be quite useable and mature out of the box. The people jumping to Quarkus or Micronaut a…

    They are moving there because it's new and shiny, not because it's better. Spring and Spring Boot are incredibly productive and give you a ton of stuff out of the box, whereas some…

    But what's your point? Would you truly want consumers of JSON Patch data to embed a JS interpreter?

    Because that would require consumers to have a Javascript interpreter to use it.

    This looks great. I hope it'll get a Switch port.

    It might be more useful to talk to the people behind the tooling that is used during concerts. For instance, Notch grew out of the demo scene and could be interesting maybe? See ht…

    I only recently discovered Densha De GO! and apparently the most recent game in the series is based around this very line. Very interesting to see these photos, I love the vibe, an…

    That's a shame, but there's heavy competition from companies like PCBWay, I suppose. Incidentally, I read it the title like Shapeways provided some files to somehow 3d print bankru…

    It's great to see Java Web Start finally being used in anger 24 years after its initial release.

    "Should all array types be Copy but not Claim? If not, where is the cutoff, and does it depend on the element type?" I think it was mentioned that something should be considered Cl…

    I really like this proposal. It's fairly concrete, makes day-to-day coding much more ergonomic and, more importantly, doesn't introduce a great many esoteric concepts that are just…

    "Yes, it's more complicated than server development in that it is a real-time, multi-point input, multi-output (rendered elements on screen) environment with synchronisation and co…

    I'm wondering why the lifetimes as described in steps 2 and 3 need to be so explicit. Why shouldn't the borrow checker be able to infer them?

    Where would it end, though? Should the developer also provide build instructions for Haiku and AmigaOS?

    It's great that there's a free non-commercial option. I'm wondering if I can convert my existing CLion license to RustRover though, I only bought it for the Rust support.

    It's probably good to know that the focus in the demoscene has shifted away from 64k more towards 4k/1k intros and 'regular' demos. The amount of work required to do a high quality…
