What do you mean by "failing tests", are you talking about runtime code? TypeScript erases all types at compile so these wouldn't affect tests. Unless you meant "compile errors" in…

Who said that anyone is absolved of the responsibility to write tests for business logic when using Rust? I struggle to see anything in the comment you replied to that is anywhere …

Not sure what you mean here by "most JavaScript parser rejects null" - did you mean "JSON parsers"? And why would they reject null, which is a valid JSON value? It's more that when…

Inline breakpoint, the same way you set a breakpoint on an expression in any language

The "Error Return Trace" described in the next section down also seems like an interesting alternative to a stack trace, possibly solving the same problem with less noise. How well…

I've read elsewhere that one idea for the zero value of sum types is not making it nillable, but rather making the zero value as the 0th variant of the sum type (and if it has asso…

This post from the React team has more detail on that topic: https://overreacted.io/algebraic-effects-for-the-rest-of-us/

Can you expand more on the Gang of Four comment? Which separation does GoF describe that is applicable in this context? And what is the definition of a "concern"?

Can you do it for functions defined by other people, or only for functions that you defined? I'm thinking in the general case, but motivated by this example of a 3rd party function…

Do the python type checkers / linters / whatever have the ability to warn or error on calling certain functions? That would be nice to eventually enforce migration over to the newe…

"pit of success" from the previous comment might refer to this video, which is long but good especially to adjust to a different mindset https://youtu.be/US8QG9I1XW0?si=N07ZsYSYfA1…

>that's what discriminated unions (aka product types aka algebraic data types) Just an FYI, discriminated unions are not product types, they are sum types. It's named so because th…

There's also going to be quite a big ecosystem / standard library difference between languages that had fundamental type system features since the beginning vs. languages that adde…

It's not just syntax, a sum type forces checking for the error whereas a product type does not, so it's a semantic distinction too

That _shouldn't_ be ambiguous, `false` is a valid JSON document according to specification, but not all parsers are compliant. There's some interesting examples of ambiguities here…

Yeah, that's one of the core problems, there's no overloading of equals in JS and no other cases of objects using non-reference equality. Adding that in itself would be a big deal …

Sorry to have disappointed you. I don't walk, talk, or sleep either Rust or Go, but was trying to provide some resources to help in case you hadn't seen them yet. One difference I …

The documentation is probably the best resource to start with the concept and how it works / what the goals are: https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html For exa…

That's exactly what what they're talking about, "tenantId" shouldn't be in the function signature for functions that aren't concerned with the tenant ID, such as business logic
