See the reply to parent. For a hobby project I think it's an interesting experience to try. Especially if you also intend to write a back-end in Rust. But for production use, and productivity in general, I don't think it's cl

It's not easy to separate WASM specifically from Rust, and also hard to separate Rust from seed-rs, the UI framework we're using. But as far as problems with all of them together, here's the major ones: - Very slow compilatio

What are we supposed to be competing for? Reason is a tool that makes different trade-offs than some other tools. These trade-offs might work for you or they might not. It all depends on what YOU actually need.

Unfortunately not. It's an inseparable part of the Reason syntax. You can however use either the desugared form: ([@JSX] div(~foo=bar, ~children=[child1, child2], ())); Or a preprocessor that'll give you a JSX-like syntax,

I think what @chenglou was referring to are issues like the "value restriction" [1] and the need to wrap "uncurried" FFI functions with a function that "adapts" it to curried form, thereby adding a layer of ind

Great, that's actually useful information. But you could have safely skipped the "first!" comment. Being first does not make you any more superior in the front-end world than it does in a youtube comment.

Please stop the fanboyism. OP did not say there was anything wrong with Vue, but asked if there was any specific reason it was chosen, and suggested they try something that comes with good preconfigured defaults to avoid being overwhelmed b

Sure. I think it's more prevalent among Go zealots, probably because so many were lured into it by the inital hype, but it's not at all Go-specific. Another example is the hype and love-hate relationship people have with Javascrip

I don't dislike Go. I just think there are zero use cases where Go is the best choice. But what I do dislike is when people try to hype and con others into adopting a language to justify and increase the return on their own time invest

What if you can't understand the logic of the compiler, and therefore aren't able to write any code in the language at all? Sure it's not very error-prone, but it's also not very useful. I'm a big fan of Rust precis

I'm not the parent, but my impression is that Go is productive more in the sense of quantity than quality. It is easy to pick up, understand and use. But it is also very error prone, because its type system is poorly suited for proper

Yes, shitty jobs would actually pay well. That's hardly unfair is it? The labour market would become an actual free market, where prices are properly determined by supply and demand, not by "motivation for work", more aptly k

I've heard this argument several times before, but I've never understood the reasoning behind it. No matter how you look at it, a basic income is redistribution of wealth. If we finance a basic income by just printing money, then

Happy to oblige. I will have to skip a lot of reasoning and contingencies for brevity's sake, but I hope it gives you an idea of what a basic income might actually mean at least. So first of all, a basic income would be a lot more tran
