Maybe we have to subsidize zoomers until we can figure this out.

If I type the name of an enum, then `.`, (and for my settings explicitly request autocomplete suggestions from VsCode), I either don't get anything, or I get a list of 50+ identifiers that have nothing to do with the enum. There seem t

KSON looks interesting. Where I work we did a metadata type project in Pkl recently, which is somewhat similar. Unfortunately, developments on the tooling front for Pkl have taken an extremely very long time. Not sure the the tooling/L

Couldn't you just use static classes? I don't see how that would be a factor at all, seems like a very superficial reason that would be easy to work around.

Yea, I came here to say the same thing. Anders' reasons for not going with C# all seem either dubious or superficial and easily worked around. First he mentions the no classes thing. It is hard to see how that would matter even for aut

I've read this a few times over the years and I think the argument is sound. But I wonder if it is sound in the same way this statement is: "It is better to go picking blueberries before they are fully ripe, that way you won'

I say higher earners and you think I'm just talking about billionaires? Deranged. I'm just people at higher than the 50th percentile. Say 75th percentile, which probably includes a lot of people from HN.

Norwegians are rich if you look at the average, but if you compare higher earners there vs the U.S. I would say they are actually poor. For example, take an above average software developer in the US and compare them to one in Norway - you

I'm not sure the use of 'accidentally' was sincere. But I like this choice of words in your post in your first version: > unmercenary assumptions

I'd argue .NET isn't actually that great of a multi language platform. We have a mixed F# and C# solution at work, and that split sometimes causes a lot of friction. If you have some C# code that depends on F# code, that constrain

Saying there is an absence of evidence (of a leak) isn't useful by itself unless they also indicate whether that is evidence of absence (of a leak). I.e., they should indicate whether it is likely that they would have caught it if a le

To check if rewrite rules are still helpful, yea - we just read release notes and test manually. We've never had a rule change from being beneficial to detrimental. For most of them, I don't think that would be possible, because t

At my work, we often parse and rewrite a query before handing it off to SQL Server, because there are a lot of cases where Microsoft misses obvious optimizations. Sometimes there are also optimizations we can do because of things we know at

You think I'm saying "don't be different for any reason." What I'm actually saying is "don't be different without a good reason". Python for example has been criticized for the breaking changes in ver

I want to like powershell because of the richer return types, but it has so many strange deviations from normal shell languages that it is hard to get productive in it. I remember testing out some new languages and toolchains and following

Yea, making it so statements are composing via YAML was a very poor choice. One case I had was needing to change my actions so that steps D, E, and F could be retried together. What is the github YAML specification for decrementing a '

I mostly agree, but every now and then there is actually a good reason to override/re-implement them. For example, let us say you are using virtualized components [0], so all available elements have not necessarily been rendered to the

I thought so too, at first, but now I'm really down on it. Ecto Changesets work fine for flat data, but when you have to deal with nested data, it becomes a nightmare, because you have to use these special functions to read and update
