Oh man, best game ever. I really wanted to learn it having putting it off for so long. I can see how I could use it in a framework of mine. Gives me an excuse to use open web technologies again. I was revamping some old code of mine, removi

One advantage of Go is that more code is dependent on the network which is where Go shines at. Go looks like a hammer when the network looks like a nail. For example, Go was one of the first to start adding HTTP2 support. If Go is always th

I enjoyed the article. I think the general sentiment here is that one needs to take the good with the bad. I also think that the ongoing changes have made for a different web that is less important on the mobile devices. In watching some vi

Indeed. That may mean fewer opportunities for "meta-programming" if by meta-programming we mean mutation of core structures. It could also be a good chance to turn around the default of declaring variables to declaring constants i

Feels like people will be urged to move to Python 3 due to the new features... And yet I'm thinking that Python 4 will happen before many have been able to move to Python 3. :-P

The cost also comes in the ignorance of that third world part who have poorer access to education and opportunities. They are third world because they are ignorant. And they are ignorant because they are third world. Sometimes small incenti

The way that the Java platform evolved very slowly just seems rather unlikely nowadays. Sun didn't allow for Java extensions that made it too platform dependent. To this day Java's platform independence is perhaps its greatest leg

In theory. In practice many of the mainstream languages make for bloated code. Yesterday I was seeing type casts and so on increasing the size of the code. But developers can grow used to bloated code. Like they can get used to stepping the

Yes, TS is improved since it comes with the top IDE: VS. :-P Seriously though. Watching how people use IDE to code on Twitch can be so boring. Everyone is quick to suggest to step the code with the debugger. When just printing stuff to the

I think developers are still a little shy about using the Canvas for much. In my own toying with a text editor, I found the Canvas to be pretty nice. The advantage is that one needs to render just the visible lines. With the way developers

I don't know Tcl much. But when I learned about Tk in Ruby I kind of expanded my knowledge of Tcl since Tk was the GUI toolkit of Tcl that was borrowed by many other scripting languages. Tcl/Tk had features like distribution of a

I believe asm.js has been trying to counter concerns people might have when considering using it. Also, it could be that some companies may be trying to join efforts in trying to further the asm.js adoption, like Microsoft adding more suppo

The thing for now is that the asm.js "family" is riding on LLVM's back. More and more it's the LLVM that is becoming that VM people have longed for. It looks like LLVM is inching towards the JavaScript VM with every year

I think what they probably mean is just try to have fun in life. So be passionate about who you are, rather than about what you would be willing to achieve in life. Because it's simply impossible for everyone to be CEO of the world. Bi

When I was creating a UI library, I tried to pick up on the trend of data-binding, but I found it difficult to use. Now these discussions remind me of it. I don't even know how the second option is better to be honest. I may research i

Google are trying to find a direction for web programming. The browsers have made plugins obsolete, but the plugins did bring something that the standard web technologies may have been missing. What is hard is to change JavaScript from the
