Bullshit. Read Apple privacy policy properly. They share data with "advertising partners". Apple sued Samsung for billions on a ridiculous patent case on rounded corners in smartphones. Apple patented optional chaining in Swift. A

Common lisp was never about minimalism. It was about lisp dialects like scheme.

Mozilla particularly has really bad suit-dominant administration. Brendan Eich is here on HN. He can explain better.

I will fill in.. Google never "sells" your data to third parties. They keep the data themselves for advertisement purpose. On the contrary, apple shares any collected data with advertisement partners. Apple fanboys don't real

Half of those things aren't even specific to FP. And I bet most people don't even use pattern matching outside HN / reddit bubble, not to say it isn't cool.

> The best stuff was all proprietary for decades. Well, maybe. But it is hard to believe if most of those things aren't rediscovered in these decades. And IIRC that GCC took over partially because it was quite better. GCC / LLV

Apparently basic phones and feature phones demised after mangolian gangster characters used it in movies. Apple is defending themselves against the same thing happening to them again.

There is a sweet spot and for different people, that spot lies in different places. Having a proliferation of types is bad for everyone but highest order FP Weenies among us.

People are quick to advocate anything from functional programming / academia here. Doesn't mean it would necessarily improve life of an ordinary programmer.

TL;DR I am on Windows and Go doesn't play well with its weird filesystem. It is all Go's fault for relying on highly used server OS semantics and therefore Go's simplicity is lie.

Meanwhile your Firefox suffers from really, really bad governance in a suit-dominated organization. The CEO is milking way too much from the sinking ship. The priorities are somewhere else from what people want.

I am wary of Mozilla, a completely suit-ruled shitshow that is technically incompetent because of that, as much as I am wary of Google.

If you consider hash table insertion as O(1) then it is O(n) I guess.

Generics Free, No exception handling, also hard to support to shared libraries. That's more cost than benefit.

Support means all APIs have first class support by Google, just like how Kotlin has first class support on Android.

Fuchsia is meant to be used in variety of contexts like IoT [sic], and embedded stuff, Many time Go doesn't play well in such areas. People coming from language like C++ and senior enough to write OSes may be startled how inexpressive

That is nowhere near their goals. Maybe if Go didn't start as a hobby project inside Google, then they /might/ even have seen some opportunity in Ocaml / Standard ML, but now that Go exists, and has a quite good toolchai

On Android, there is termux terminal emulator, which allows to run native Linux binaries and already has many packages. Arguably there were other ways also before termux existed: GNURoot Debian was an app that ran a minimal Debian chroot in
