The secret is just to do it anyway. I have yet to work in a job where anyone actively stopped me fixing technical debt, even if they never asked me to do it.
It's cloud based though... Not ideal. I get why they had to do that (they didn't want to expose people to the Python infra shit show) but it's still kind of a shame.
Would be better if they added Typescript support IMO.
You're still missing the point. We all understand that definition. We're just saying that it is incorrect use of the word "concurrent". Does that make sense? The word "concurrent" means things happening at the same time. It's stupid for programmers to redefine it to mean things not happening at the same time.
...for people who refuse to use static types.
Definitely agree with tech debt. Seems like nobody except me cares about improving things, which is surprising given this survey!
Also definitely agree about reliability of tools/systems, but again it feels like it's just me that cares about robustness - everyone else is very happy to churn out hacky Bash scripts, dynamically typed Python and regexes with abandon.
Either you're all a bunch of hypocrites or the SO survey is quite a biased sample!
Yeah except it's named after the play so it's definitely pronounced God-oh. I think people just mispronounce it Go-dot if they haven't heard of the play. Looking at you Mr Linus Tips.
It's because
In order to avoid losing face they'll come up with endless plausible technical reasons why you can't use Rust in order to hide the real reasons. They may not even realise they're doing it.
Some of the reasons might even be genuinely good reasons, but they'll come up with them as an "aha! So that's why it's impossible" rather than a "hmm that's an issue we'll have to solve".
It's not just Rust Vs C. This naysaying happens wherever there's a new thing that's better than the established old thing. It's a basic human tendancy.
Fortunately not everyone is like that. Linus seems in favour of Rust which is a very good sign.
Maybe all of the stars, forks, and discussions on the GitHub page are from fake accounts
All 9k stars, 10k PRs, 400 forks & professional web site are fake? Come on this is about the most obviously not fake project I've seen!
How do you know when a product like this can be trusted?
The same way you tell if anything can be trusted - you look at the signals and see if they are suss. In this case:
The amount of effort it would take to fake this for very little benefit is enormous.
Maybe I’m just being paranoid.
Yeah just a little!
Seems a bit clickbaity to me. It's a flaw in Windows/cmd.exe, not Rust. Rust is just called out because it tries to emulated proper argument passing on Windows (and didn't get it perfectly right). All languages are affected by this but most of them just throw their hands in the air and say "you're on your own":
It's also extremely unlikely that you'd be running a bat script with untrusted arguments on Windows.
Honestly those things just don't sound like common enough actions to be worth shaving 0.5 seconds off. How often do you know exactly how many lines to move a line by? And how often do you even need to move a line that far?
I still don't buy it.
It's significantly less of a nightmare and Deno is downright pleasant.
