Look at gleam and elixir. Both are functional. Both use exceptions, but both also use error values as well. There is no reason why we can’t have both. These are incredibly fault tolerant systems.

People forget that compilers used to be commonly proprietary and commercially licensed. Heck, I’m born on the 90s and knew that 😂

So so glad free and open source software took over though

People don’t understand: we already outlawed “theft” and “stealing”—we wouldn’t need COPYright laws if they prevented theft or stealing 😂 they only prevent copying, aka not theft or stealing.

But people keep strawmanning “stealing is bad mmkay???”

I’m not sure how you can look at hundreds of years of IP laws getting btfo by pirates and say the ship is sinking 😂

I’m sorry, but until you can somehow answer the question of “how to make people avoiding laws impossible?” without causing a revolution, there will be laws avoided by people

No laws have ever stopped people from getting what they want. Games will be made by those who hate IP laws and be played by those who seek it. Will that scene be a trillion dollar industry backed by governments and international corporations like the AAA scene is today? Probably not. Will a punk indie scene exist? Of course.

Every popular entertainment medium that has a giant industry will see these same results as well. Movies, books, music, etc. As long as the medium is popular, it will persist outside of IP laws.

You are beautiful

Thom has a point about Trump and not playing in America. Personally I’d rather see more people boycott America.

Oh Steam Machines are so back

ACK

The one on the right should be labeled “full-stack dev” because that’s like 80% of them and they write in C# and Angular 😂

I wouldn’t say JavaScript is horrible, it’s a fine little language to do general things in if you know JS well. I would say, though, that it is not a great language. Give me F# and I’m happy forever. I do not like typescript that much more than JS.

why u snitchin on ezra

I don’t think anyone is against paying to watch a decent quality sports stream without popups and any additional ads. I won’t give the nfl $100/mo but I’ll pay $50/yr for some pirated setup

Compile times say otherwise

F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.

You’re downvoted, but you’re 100% right. The web is designed to not break. Engineers who can’t accept that don’t get to complain

Engineers don’t know how to manage or include designers in their process. At least all of the “full stack” and “front end” devs I’ve encountered — almost always they never know how to do a single thing about design unless they have some background or appreciation for it.

Sounds like Nixos with extra steps

You can just look at the source code… no need to assume anything. You can’t prove a negative lol

Star Citizen absolutely works on Linux. I’ve played it myself without issue when I got a drake Corsair
