Maybe he only knew C as you say. I did C++ professionally for a while. Not properly, just updating models in derivatives trading systems. I remember reading 3 Scott Meyer books, the Effective Programming series, at the…
> [Paraphrasing] Is Verse supposed to be an easy language for beginners ? Yes! Well that was the point of my comment. Maybe you have a different interpretation of 'Learnable as a first language' from the article, which…
Has it got currying? Partially applied functions passed around in folds and traverses are horribly difficult to read for beginners. Example: an Advent of Code solution posted in r/haskell for Day 10 this year, tell me…
My lecturer in second year, > 20 years ago mind, said we are learning C, because C++ is C with an ugly object oriented graft on top.

You appear to be reading more into my post then I intended. The point I was illustrating is that there is no cruft in React. Try and keep your posts factual.
Most recent papers, in NLP at least, are so sparse on detail that it is impossible to reproduce their models. And then there's the compute cost, as at least one other poster has mentioned.
React and Angular are both blazing fast, and are definitely not pointless. Open create react app, spin up a page with 50000 buttons, compare that to a plain js version, then come back and tell us about the atrocious…
Well google use all of their own internal 'frameworks', so you can't really use their web applications to judge the rest of the web.
Does Whisper ever respond with "I don't understand" or does it always try to amble on and give an answer, no matter the confidence of the prediction?
I worked through a popular Introductory Category theory text. Did all the problems and made sure I understood everything in there really. It became clear by the end why some mathematicians like category theory. It lifts…

There's no agreed way to organise a functional codebase. You end up with thousands of functions, can you imagine the mess a big team is capable creating? With some discipline I suppose it could work, but you would need…
Laziness principally. In my opinion, laziness is as difficult as managing pointers in C++. Laziness makes memory usage of your program difficult to reason about as it becomes large.
I know! I recently went for a job where when I got to the system architecture rounds they were asking about sharding and setting up a server/db for global level massive scale. I only know what I've done, which is set up…
Seems to have been airbrushed off the site now.
Full stack, been doing this a few decades now. Not really. Every new front end feature just feels like such a chore. You tire quickly of building new CRUD endpoints and pages pretty quickly. You need to write so many…
Speeding up the build could be done in other ways, were they using esbuild or something fast previously? Probably not. The memory usage saving is really not a big deal, load up your favourite news web page and look at…
