I think it's fair to say Smalltalk(s) have had in many aspects the most advanced IDE in existence at every moment since its introduction. Demos for a couple old versions: https://w…

Interesting perspective. It reminds me of Eve [1], which was all the rage over here a few years ago. [1] https://witheve.com/

The earliest version I could find [1] is already written in C. [1] https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

> you can get a strong cryptographic identity for (almost) anyone on the service, which you can then sign/encrypt to, verify for, etc. I made https://sshign.tcardenas.me/ to take a…

This is definitely not Stallman's take on "this", "this" being _OP's feelings_ or maybe how to deal with regret generally, not whether having children or not is or isn't a good ide…

Sure, but plenty of type systems are Turing complete. What makes this demo impressive is the (unique?) feature of string literal types and template literal types, which lets you op…

That's type safety, not memory safety. ... But no, Go isn't memory safe, insofar data races can cause memory corruption.

Not for Rust itself, but there's an interpreter for Rust's MIR: https://github.com/rust-lang/miri

Who's "they"? Surely you don't mean the Go team, which has had this in the language FAQ since 2009 [1]: Why does Go not have generic types? Generics may well come at some point. We…

While that would probably be very valuable, it will probably come with lots of implementation details that won't really matter to you unless you plan to write a database yourself. …

This was also commonplace in Spain, traditionally. Some people, especially old ones, will say "si Dios quiere" literally every time they refer to any event in the future, even if i…

These are two manifestations of the same feature: function arguments's default values are evaluated when the function is defined. In one case, the value is a non-mutable int, while…

Limbo, one of Pike's (et al) predecessor languages to Go, did have sum types, called there "pick adts". Some people are ridiculously daring at dismissing others's reputations witho…

Other things equal, if companies need to pay severance, employees get paid less each month, because companies need to take into account expected severance costs in their total labo…

`curl X | bash` provides _more_ transparency than most other usual methods of software distribution, as I can always inspect X, which is usually a simple, self-contained script. In…

In mobile code, a builtin runtime means less code to download, which may be preferable to GC performance.
