It's not funny, it's sad. Also, AWS sucks. It's the 21st century version of IBM mainframe, except without the reliability.
The original post was about 'projects', not code snippets. If you've done any serious (large, long, multi-team) projects in a dynamically-typed language, you know how quickly they turn into a big ball of mud where…

Apparently, 'world history' started in 1850? Good to know!

It's pretty much irrelevant what people feel emotionally about Rust. The real-world fact is that Rust is, as of March 2020 at least, an entry-level systems programming language. It's used as a stepping stone by former…
The problem with GC isn't the "spikey 1%", it's the fact that GC implies the "everything is a pointer to an object" programming model, which in turn fragments your memory and destroys your cache. Performance-oriented…

That would be about as effective as banning money.

No such thing as "RPC Protocol", there's a huge insurmountable gulf between "I want my Python and Javascript services to pass ad-hoc messages between themselves" and "I want to send C++ structs over the network with…
How in seven hells is moving imperative loop constructs from Javascript to HTML supposed to be "declarative"?! If anything, it's the opposite - you're now polluting HTML with imperative programming features where there…
Good, I needed a reason to stop using Wikipedia. Good bye.
There's a much better alternative outside of AWS for everything that AWS provides. As far as I can tell, AWS exists to optimize accounting and inter-departmental friction, and not to solve any technical problem.
What's a 'fucking mask' and why haven't I heard of this sexual practice before?
