This is an echo chamber. What you hear here is not indicative of real world relevance.

I can try. Basically it is a PHP framework written in ruby. It has a really poor API that makes for very error prone coding. It completely fucked up the entire MVC architecture, creating a big fat controller layer that contains logic tha

The model side of things is certainly my biggest complaint. The other things are minor in comparison, but still annoying. I like the architecture of lift, just not some of the details of the implementation. I don't like the way templates

Yes. Scala lets you bypass the compile time type safety pretty easily, and as a result tons of libraries do precisely that. Take squeryl for example, it advertises itself as a type safe DSL for querying databases, but virtually anything y

I'm not a huge fan of lift, but the portion of it I am ok with (the templates/snippets side of things) is fairly similar to how you use snap. It may be worth it to work on helping to finish snap (or forking it if need be) rather than start

Ah, yes we weren't looking for functional languages specifically, just languages with expressive type systems. As far as I know, the only languages with expressive type systems are also functional so we end up with a functional language as

You seriously think repeating conspiracy theory bullshit magically turns it into fact?

So how does that support your initial reaction at all? Comics aren't NSFW just because you work in a shithole. Tons of things get posted here that aren't related to software development, you think they should all be tagged as NSFW?

If it is their New Coke, then what you mean is they can roll it back to something exactly the same, and then have conspiracy nuts repeat nonsense claims that it is different now. New Coke was not a way to distract people while they changed

So, you missed the domain, and were subject to the horrors of people discussing comics? Why exactly do we need to protect you from this terrible fate?

I don't know what you are biting or why, but your question makes no sense. I didn't say anything was wrong with FreeBSD, I simply pointed out that networking is one of OpenBSD's primary focuses, and as such it offers much more. OpenBSD's

No it isn't, that's the point. It is easier to find any programmer. It is not easier to find a good programmer. 99% of java programmers are bad. 50% of scala programmers are bad. Finding the 1% of good java programmers is just as hard

So, a guy tries to solve a hard problem by using very powerful but very complex features that 99.9999999% of scala devs would never touch, and you take that as a reason to avoid scala? And then you come here to tell everyone how absurd you
