It is here in HN that I first heard Pablo Neruda's "No culpes a nadie". Even though a fan of Neruda I somehow had missed this. Perhaps this speaks to you something too: ## Don't Blame Anyone Never complain ab

I wish I could give you a thumbs up for speaking plain truth here. Anyway programmers will find out for themselves how best to satisfy their customer need.

In addition to your list here, I am drawn by ES6 on the backend. This is not javascript of the early days. On Differentiable Programming, you might be aware of a tensorflow counterpart in javascript: https://www.tensorflow.org&#x

Nim is a languge that has good performance and I had good experience porting an enterprise Python application to Nim (for performance gain). For a new user the risk obviously is the newness of Nim but the Nim team was very helpful and promp

I don't miss generics either, not in the least. The interface system, Go's particular approach to it, takes me a long way ... I won't ask for any new feature for today or tomorrow. But for day after tommorow, within a longer

I am an average Go programmer, so I may not be deep into Go as you might be. However the mention of GOPATH catches my eye. All my issues with GOPATH went away for me when I started using the Go Modules: https://blog.golang.org&#x

Similar to books, growing up in India I discovered “Western” music because of pirated music. The one and only reason I heard of bands like Yes, Jethro Tul, Roxy Music, Steely Dan, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, or St. Martin in the Fields, etc. are

Politicians are not at all stupid in general. The problem we have is in their selective listening after we elect them. If a legislator is not technically up to speed, considerable tax payer money goes towards hiring people in government to
