I think it's fair to say Smalltalk(s) have had in many aspects the most advanced IDE in existence at every moment since its introduction. Demos for a couple old versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqKyHEJe9_w Dem

This is definitely not Stallman's take on "this", "this" being _OP's feelings_ or maybe how to deal with regret generally, not whether having children or not is or isn't a good idea.

Sure, but plenty of type systems are Turing complete. What makes this demo impressive is the (unique?) feature of string literal types and template literal types, which lets you operate on text (like, actual text, with no weird type-level e

That's type safety, not memory safety. ... But no, Go isn't memory safe, insofar data races can cause memory corruption.

Who's "they"? Surely you don't mean the Go team, which has had this in the language FAQ since 2009 [1]: Why does Go not have generic types? Generics may well come at some point. We don't feel an urgency for them, a

While that would probably be very valuable, it will probably come with lots of implementation details that won't really matter to you unless you plan to write a database yourself. I'd suggest this one: https://datainten

This was also commonplace in Spain, traditionally. Some people, especially old ones, will say "si Dios quiere" literally every time they refer to any event in the future, even if it's just "see you tomorrow". Not do

These are two manifestations of the same feature: function arguments's default values are evaluated when the function is defined. In one case, the value is a non-mutable int, while in the other it's a mutable list, but in both cas

Limbo, one of Pike's (et al) predecessor languages to Go, did have sum types, called there "pick adts". Some people are ridiculously daring at dismissing others's reputations without the most basic of background checks.

Other things equal, if companies need to pay severance, employees get paid less each month, because companies need to take into account expected severance costs in their total labor costs and there's less money left for other benefits.

`curl X | bash` provides _more_ transparency than most other usual methods of software distribution, as I can always inspect X, which is usually a simple, self-contained script. In contrast, running code from an unaudited source (GitHub, NP

In mobile code, a builtin runtime means less code to download, which may be preferable to GC performance.

Yes, you do, in countries with universal healthcare, such as Spain. Even to undocumented immigrants.

Right, but that's no longer "just" jump tables, you need additional JIT logic for those tables to be correct. Plus, in a JIT you can go even further and just do direct calls, no need for the indirection of tables.

You can't use jump tables in Objective-C because methods can be added to objects at runtime.
