You didn't provide any arguments to support your claim. Calling people names isn't going to convince anyone.

They do more than that. If you ask for ui with a button that button won't be upside down even if you didn't specify its orientation. Lots of the detail can be inferred from general human preferences, which are present in the LLMs&

We used to use Maestro but then they unfortunately decided to go all in on AI and hiked the price to match, making it no longer worthwhile for us.

Any more details on the setup? How does it kick of based a push? Could you kick it off on a successful GitHub run?

Why not user-fuse?

This missed the point. The point of not that you can forget to check the null case. The point is that you can express that sometimes there's no null case.

The Data Parallel Haskell work on flattening ran into problems with space blow-up due to replicating arrays to perform flattening. Does Futhank avoid those problems?

Perhaps SpaceX could offer (a slightly more expensive) CubeSat module that has built in deorbiting thrusters that will bring it down after X years.

Aside: does that mean that Falcon 9 could carry ~20,000 CubeSats at the cost of 62M/20k = USD 3,100 per satelite? That would be awesome. Now if I could just find another 19,999 people who want to ride-share with me.

Doesn't seem relevant given the number of places in Europe that are more progressive and failed to replicate silicon valley.

Type inference should solve that if Go ever gets that.

Did they know of specific instances of fraud or just more generally that it was going on?

How does it perform on short strings (e.g. <= 16 bytes)? We've seen several new hash functions lately with great throughput numbers, but unfortunately they often end up being slower than FNV when used e.g. on keys in hash maps, whic

Just sticking with the pure types there's currently no generic stream model that works well. No stream fusion system fuses all cases (even in theory) and they also fail to fuse the cases they're supposed to handle too often in pra

This whole thread is exactly about how "write libraries!" (if done outside the standard library) doesn't work (see my top post). I do agree that lack of modularity features certainly doesn't help though.

Risking to go off-topic a bit, I think the lazy versions of Text and ByteString wouldn't have been needed if we had nice abstractions for streams (lists are not, they cause allocation we cannot get rid of) so that you don't need t

Agreed, except for the "like Go" part, which is unnecessarily ad-hoc.

You don't need a standard library to win if you don't have any competitors (in the browser). :) Fitness for purpose is relative to the other options.

There can be more than one problem, including having a small standard library.

But C didn't have competitors with large standard libraries, so it didn't suffer as much for it.

The "big corporate sponsor" argument often comes up when discussing language success. Google doesn't really put more than a few people's time into Go, the rest is open source. Other languages like Python didn't have

I wouldn't recommend following the Haskell approach. It hasn't worked well for us. (I took part in creating the Haskell Platform and the process used to add packages to it. I also used to maintain a few of our core libraries, like

It looks like you have a bit of a biased experience from working on Chrome. The absolute majority of the code is in the monorepo.

Look at hash array mapped tries, which is what most functional languages use to implement hashmaps.

As the designer of the Strict pragma I can say that Idris had nothing to do with anything.
