I wanted to like Reason, but it is now clearly a dead end. Its torn identity between JS and OCaml has killed the language.
Imagine believing this
Spoken like a bootcamp luddite
Because it lowers the housing stock in urban areas. Wealthy travellers will pay more for accommodations than the local market, so apartments become airbnbs and investors gobble up condos and housing which they turn into…
Airbnb was supposed to be a platform for sharing your house, not starting your own distributed hotel.
Probably
The corporate structure institutionalizes immorality, it cannot be avoided. By law shareholder profits come first, everything else is secondary to that goal.
The person filing the paperwork still isn’t necessarily the one who made the call. In fact, it usually isn’t; they are just the ones whose responsibility it is to carry it out, or else their head is on the block.
It is my experience that everyone who self identifies as a republican or democrat is brainwashed at this point. The worst offenders are those who are so delusional that they mock anyone who avoids political discourse or…
Investment is gambling, smarts are winning.
can we get compile time constant variables? something cleaner than enums and defines
That excludes a huge number of students who will have never had the experience to try programming before university. I never did any programming before my first year, I was planning on going into economics. But then I…
This is only true if your applications are mostly high level glue.
But it is. A good compiler could unroll my loop and rewrite it with the appropriate vector ops. But that isn’t possible with just python right now.
Damn you’re edgy
This is a pretty pedantic definition. Plenty of excellent programmers are not mathematicians. How would that work if programming were just math? That’s like saying physics is just math while ignoring all of the…
Go succeeded because it was largely ignored by Google. Dart was the darling language which flipped miserably and has only recently became relevant.
They are proven with with math, but their implementation in code certainly isn’t. If it were that simple, we would be using languages like Coq and TLA+ for writing software. But we usually don’t, because math does not…
I think only academics with a background in CS will typically be familiar with functional programming. For everyone else, they will have used something simpler like Excel, C, R, Python.
This is actually one of the most frustrating parts about using python. You can’t write normal python code that performs well. Instead you have to use the numpy dsl, which I often find unintuitive and too often results…
My analogy was to compare wood and vinyl as building materials for flooring (I guess I omitted that) and asking if the existence of something newer invalidates something older. I am skeptical that all language features…
Julia is similar to matlab by design, which makes it easier for science and engineering folks who are already familiar with it. I think functional programming advocates underrate simplicity of procedural languages.…
Why does a language need changes to be alive? We don’t ship languages, we ship code written in them. It’s like claiming wood is dead because we have vinyl.
At what point is enough enough?
C++ has had decades to replace C, but it’s really stalled and even lost ground in embedded systems. I can’t see Rust faring much better. C might end up being an eternal language until there is a dramatic enough shift in…
