Exactly, look at the "system" requirements for AOL Instant Messenger: Windows 2000 or higher Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher 128MB RAM/512MB for enhanced multimedia features (TOTAL RAM in the system!!!!!) Macromedia Flash Mic

Think this is bad? Just wait until everyone adopts asm.js. So we can compile C++ code to "fast web apps" which will run in the asm virtual machine, in the javascript DOM sandbox, in the thin webbrowser client, and finally in the O

Ok, perhaps that was an over simplification - they are "complicated chat clients", but that still doesn't excuse the fact that massive industrial programs start instantly nowadays if they are native - think Unreal Engine, 3ds

It doesn't take that advanced of a programmer to know that a simple chat client like discord or slack should not take seconds (on the order of 5 to 6) to load! We are running super computers here! https://medium.com/com

Where was the Google CEO when all of this was being voted on? Where were the Google home-pages telling people to get active?

There are "fraudulent practices" in the real world exchanges - look at how LIBOR was/is rigged ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor_scandal ). And I certainly hope its "exchange value" isn'

I suppose the stock market would be more like a "rigged casino" since the government's central banks can print money and confiscate funds (see Cyprus), but with pretty much all market leading crypto such things are impossible

Exactly, you only need to look as far as Dash's effort in Venezuela to realize how crypto can benefit society, and if you trust governments not to turn the global stock markets into a glorified casino then look up the terms CDOs, HFT,

I think its fairly well known that there are flaws in Javascript which was designed in a week and hows its used (DOM etc). The ease of its use probably lended to initial success, but the difficulty of making complex secure software has led

Javascript is a cancer. But I guess if you can't beat it, might as well learn to love the cancer?

I meant Rust is a copy of Ada in general - it does not deal with unsafe programming in the same way. Instead, you do things like instantiate generic packages/procedure like Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation and Ada.Unchecked_Conversion with t

Ada does, and has better and more clear conventions for "unsafe" programming (pointer arithmetic, conversions, etc) but does it naturally without special keywords and esoteric conventions through its package system. Too bad no one

No mention of Ada at all. Very sad and disappointing - Rust basically has a carbon copy of all of its features. It deserves a fair shake..
