I believe the principles the article author is looking for are core to Pivotal Tracker. I've often tried to persuade teams to use Tracker, but everyone sure loves the whiteboard metaphor!

My go-to is "Alice has 3 brothers and also has 6 sisters. How many sisters does her brother have?". They all say 6! This test is nice because, as it's numeric, you can vary it slightly and test it easily across multiple APIs.

I love LSP as much as the next person, but bacon's flicker-free zero config clippy watching basically TAUGHT me Rust!

I don't understand the question, but only one of those is a full stack web framework.

For anyone wanting a actual full-stack framework with sensible defaults, type checked sql+api+rsx, and overwhelming community approval, don't reinvent the wheel: It has existed for years and is called https://leptos.dev (If

This is the right answer. How can you go back to a non-typed world after Rust I don't know. I use html-node which has a typed submodule for even greater strictness. I just build some valid html, make a string and write that to the outp

YES! sqlx::query_as in the wild! Making queries like this checks the sql is valid at compile time by connecting to the real database and running it with demo data inside a rolled-back transaction ! (If you'll forgive the self promo, I

"[If we all wear seat belts] we could end up in a less secure future, where nobody understands why, with red tape that prevents you from finding out what went wrong." Insane.

You don't believe me? That's an extremely weird reaction, he's on public record with this kind of behaviour, just look at most of the comments in this very thread of people saying the same thing. You've forced me to look

Yeah! I've seen a lot of re-branding to "plant-based", same meaning, less baggage.

I sympathise with your position, but is rms all we've got? No developers were persuaded to change their language from 'open source' to 'free software' that day in 2009, him shouting at us was utterly ineffective. We

I read just today that there's no such thing as 'cancel culture', what it is, is 'consequence culture': The observation that it's becoming less accepted that we must protect the rich/famous/powerful j

I went to a small talk rms gave in London in around 2009. The talk was unmemorable (my fault, likely, not his) but the Q&A afterwards was remarkable: He screamed at people for using 'open source' instead of 'free software

if you write it inside a rust macro, you get syntax checking and the full ecosystem for free! eg https://crates.io/crates/macro_lisp

how long does the average npm install take? That's cached for second executions just as rust is, typical recompile times are < 1s

(no boilerplate author here) Thank you so much for linking! When I was first getting started I learned so much from Amos and his INSANE deep-dives over at fasterthanli.me, basically he taught me Rust. For my 3rd video I messaged him and ask

C++ was rejected as a driver language. All those other languages you mentioned also are also not suitable. Why could this be?

Linus Tovalds is not an easy man to please. You're saying he's been fooled by marketing? Sometimes tech is really good, dude, it's ok, don't die on a weird hill, not everything is shit.

We're not talking about hypotheticals. Rust wasm is used in production now. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/tutorials/hello-wo... Emscripten and experimental backends hardly count as support for Nim

Nim is too timid. Most languages are too timid. My context: I'm a maintainer of iNim, creator of the Rust channel, No Boilerplate, and a professional python web developer for 15 years. The features you are excited about in Nim are comp

Or perhaps an operating system just missing a good text editor ;-) (to be clear, I love emacs, and use spacemacs as my distro!)

This is very normal in the open source world: Half of the desktop software included in a modern Linux distro I was using in the late 90s! From memory: VLC, GIMP, Blender, Audacity, Firefox, Gedit, OpenOffice, XBMC (now Kodi), FileZilla - th
