Maybe these programming in the large languages don't necessarily have to be fantastic for programming in the large, and in the long term. But they have to be great for this at least in the short term. So imagine that…
When pron posts on a thread about lang X, it tends to be 30% about lang X and 70% raving about the JVM platform.

Ah yes, embracing your inner elitist.
Ditto.
That doesn't look like much of a trade-off in the context of the article, though. Namely living in civilization.
> 2. Women are less prone to overconfidence > 3. Women are more ambitious Well okay.
People here seem to like talking about trade-offs, specifically technical ones. Maybe intelligence is just another trade-off.
For a second I thought someone had submitted this article with their phone and by mistake left one of those "sent from my <Samsung?>" in as a trailing message.
Non-standard character set aside; is the terseness (one-letter commands and such) partly because of the slow input devices at the time?

Funny that the original intent for the Go creators was to not have to write C++[1] -- which of course is in the C/C++/Rust/D space -- and that Rob Pike seemed surprised that more C++ programmers didn't make the switch.…
You have some points which are to a point, and in general, true. But you present them in such a ridiculously hyperbolic way that it seems divorced from reality. Applicative is a pretty standard type class which are…
That refactor is of a common pattern (I've seen it before; I've probably written it myself) into a bog-standard use of Applicative code. This use is pretty much the introductory example for Applicative. Do you use…
I thought JS was intended to be a Scheme in disguise?
Static FP languages just feel so natural for compilers - the AST can often be perfectly naturally expressed with algebraic data types. Then you want to traverse the tree and do certain things when subtrees or nodes are…
Kind of like how calling programs for proofs seems to make most programmers uneasy. (Not that most programs that you'll run into are proofs in any interesting sense.)
Does this brilliant webpage not know the concept of skimming and related approaches?
And I need to scroll horizontally to read the whole page. Though I guess it's easy to copy/paste into a text editor and read it there since the text is so plain.

Is an English-speaking conference in a non-English speaking country in this day and age really that weird? I don't get why. I guess conferences tend to have an explanation? Except when the explanation is "obvious" (warm…
I'm interested in programming languages. But I don't know if I'm really a polyglot programmer. Ideally I want to be able to rely on a handful of languages for the vast majority of things that I want to do. If I'm being…
In other words, not an anti pattern.
