Bullshit. Read Apple privacy policy properly. They share data with "advertising partners". Apple sued Samsung for billions on a ridiculous patent case on rounded corners in smartph…

Common lisp was never about minimalism. It was about lisp dialects like scheme.

Mozilla particularly has really bad suit-dominant administration. Brendan Eich is here on HN. He can explain better.

Sadly, fanboys don't realize patents and lock-in are more evil than mere, avoidable advertising.

I will fill in.. Google never "sells" your data to third parties. They keep the data themselves for advertisement purpose. On the contrary, apple shares any collected data with adv…

> Types solve 2% ....... Vastly understated in my experience. Even trivial python programs contain errors that could be prevented with a trivial type system like Go's And performan…

Half of those things aren't even specific to FP. And I bet most people don't even use pattern matching outside HN / reddit bubble, not to say it isn't cool.

The third kind is people use little bit and circlejerk that it solves world's problems, ivory tower elitism.

> The best stuff was all proprietary for decades. Well, maybe. But it is hard to believe if most of those things aren't rediscovered in these decades. And IIRC that GCC took over p…

> "TBH if you've developed software in the past ten years, it's unlikely you haven't been hugely affected by what the FP community has been doing." Apart from HN / reddit bubble, n…

Apparently basic phones and feature phones demised after mangolian gangster characters used it in movies. Apple is defending themselves against the same thing happening to them aga…

There is a sweet spot and for different people, that spot lies in different places. Having a proliferation of types is bad for everyone but highest order FP Weenies among us.

People are quick to advocate anything from functional programming / academia here. Doesn't mean it would necessarily improve life of an ordinary programmer.

TL;DR I am on Windows and Go doesn't play well with its weird filesystem. It is all Go's fault for relying on highly used server OS semantics and therefore Go's simplicity is lie.

In Firefox / Chrome, tick "view desktop site" from three dot menu, and view in landscape mode.

Meanwhile me notes() { cd ~/notes/$1 clear && ls --color=always } note() { nvim $@ && clear && ls --color=always }

You are one of those privacy warrior tinfoil hat idiots aren't you?

Meanwhile your Firefox suffers from really, really bad governance in a suit-dominated organization. The CEO is milking way too much from the sinking ship. The priorities are somewh…

I am wary of Mozilla, a completely suit-ruled shitshow that is technically incompetent because of that, as much as I am wary of Google.

If you consider hash table insertion as O(1) then it is O(n) I guess.

Dave Chiney tweeted a benchmark last night.

Will Go 2 really happen?

Generics Free, No exception handling, also hard to support to shared libraries. That's more cost than benefit.

Support means all APIs have first class support by Google, just like how Kotlin has first class support on Android.
