In short, yes.
Why must every language have every feature, mass applicability, and be intended to be the language-to-end-all-languages? Growth or marketshare is not the only valuable aim. If you want mutable data structures, I…

That’s why “if” should just be an expression
I have quite literally never had to do Java interop in my Kotlin work. Do you have an example? In contrast, your statement about F# strikes me as mostly true - albeit my interop was always the other way around…
This is overestimating the amount of effort involved to game on Linux, imo. It is true that there are a couple games using kernel-level anticheat which preclude their working on linux, but for the most part the effort…
KDE has been great for me on Fedora. What problems have you encountered?
I did the same on my gaming machine in early 2025 to get well ahead of the Win10 EOL. I installed Nobara and have been really happy with it.
My biggest gripe is losing the entire layer of semantics that HTTP gives you. POST is the only verb and different error states are conveyed via error objects in the returned JSON.

Can you describe what body weight exercises you found helpful? Why do you think those were different than what you were accomplishing with traditional gym weightlifting?
The replies to this are baffling. Of course not. It’s a huge, incredibly diverse and heterogeneous country of ~300 million people.
