Well I made a command-line Go program that processed a 10+GB XML file, made some computations, and put it in a JSON Redis structure. It had zero bugs, with months of development. I made it myself, so you can have zero…
Self-hosting is pointless. Go has it--who cares. I wrote a program 1000x faster than the ruby one (at work) with zero bugs in Go, but I still don't want to use it(Go). Java is fine. Do I care if Java is self-hosting?…
Perhaps you don't have the aptitude to teach that particular kid? It's harder to look inwards, though.
Serious here--what is the color between black and white?
Where did we get to apps? How about just command line? I'm not sure if you create apps for your job, but that's not all of programming. I work on an "app" for my job, but it's a more-or-less vertical. I really don't see…
I don't get it. "Forcing a kid to learn English is the same as learning the violin. If they are interested in it, great. If not, it will be like torture." What? Coding is another language (and I should know, I created a…
I was doing x86 assembly coding as a teenager, and certainly didn't need nudging. I also taught myself calculus, physics, and even material engineering. I don't see any problem with kids coding. It looks like other…
