    It got 46.2 on DeepSWE in Z.ai's own run[1]. That would put it between Opus 4.7 xhigh and Opus 4.8 medium. [1] https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.2

    System programming languages also used to refer to non-scripting languages. See this paper by John Ousterhout (creator of Tcl) written in 1997: https://users.ece.utexas.edu/~adnan/…

    Ullman's book is really accessible and what introduced me to SML as well, but for those looking for something that goes a little deeper, do read "ML for the Working Programmer" by …

    Brian Kernighan (the K in K&R and AWK) also wrote a similar book with P. J. Plauger called "The Elements of Programming Style" [1]. There's even a talk by him about it online (2009…

    I don't have experience with Redux so I cannot comment on that, but I do believe my rewrite is equivalent to the ReasonML example (it should express the same thing and still be typ…

    Looks like another biased comparison to me. You could easily rewrite the TypeScript reducer example (which fails to compile btw) to be similarly concise while being as safe. interf…
