Any word on when some of project amber features will come out of preview? I get excited each JVM release for some of those features, but it seems like most of the releases the preview count just gets bumped, and a few more get added to the

They had the limbo language in plan9, which has similar features and quirks. It seems most probable that the outcome of the 45 minute conversation wasn't "let's build a language from scratch", but rather "let's

Verbosity of code is more of a go thing these days: hasThing := false for _, v := range stuff { if checkForThing(v) { hasThing = true break } } if !hasThing { return false } Java: if !stuff.stream(

+ By declaring a field/variable []Thing vs []*Thing you get different for loop semantics. Way to easy to think your mutating the array item, but only mutating a local copy or vice versa. If you change the field/variable you need t

By productive you mean having developers repeatedly manually create loops that are the poor and verbose equivalents of map(), filter(), and reduce()? Out of go, scala, c++, java, python, typescript; go is the least productive language I&#x2

My understanding is with EKS or similar you still have to manually size your kubernetes cluster, that is you have to make sure there's enough hardware instances in your kubernetes cluster for whatever scaling you'll need. With far

I also don't have a lot of need for scientific computing; Julia has the potential to be a really compelling replacement for Python for general purpose scripting.

Not a book, but scipy had a two-part introduction to Julia talk that's worth watching: part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWkgEddb4-A part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3JH5Bg46yU

With the title I was expecting that people were finally fed up with getters/setters and all the other ceremonial bloat that's associated with java. Maybe tomorrow.
