Rust has two huge things going for it:

1. C-based lineage

2. Designed for industry use

Haskell has become the "nights and weekends" language. People are using it on pet projects outside of work and they're arguably becoming better programmers for having done so. Rust though is in the C family of languages, for which nearly every developer has familiarity, and was designed for larger project teams to collaborate and maintain large projects. Add in Rust's memory management strategy and it's not requiring a VM (unlike Java/C#) so it runs fast in a Docker container and you have a winner.

To me a more interesting question to ask, because the answer isn't nearly as clear-cut, is whether Rust or Go will be used more in industry?
What was the context of the "What Those Fools Don't Realize" quote? This is a particularly click-baity title, given that the quote is never referenced.
I concur with your suggestion. As a longtime functional programmer (Lisp, Clojure, Erlang), Elm is one of my favorite languages of all time. I'm hoping to jump into Haskell next, and I feel like it's a great transition in that direction.
Probably because it hasn't been litigated yet. However the FTC has issued warning letters to apps which use similar technique.

Apple's record on privacy and business model give me pretty high confidence on this one.

Google may have an incentive to add call info to the profile they keep on you, but surely you're not thinking that they are as big of a privacy risk as some random third-party that puts a dialer up on the play store.

Edit: I couldn't get the article to load, so I'm going by the other comments to assume this was about scammy dialers tricking regular users on Android into installing them. Obviously a dialer on a custom ROM modified for extra privacy is a justifiable reason for making it replaceable on Android.
Oh right, we already had this discussion. At least they got upgraded from "unethical marketing" to "irresponsible marketing". But how long can you continue to claim that the company engages in irresponsible marketing based on (allegedly) exaggerated claims during a Kickstarter?
VS code is a snack for Linux and Mac developers. It is intended to lure those people to the Microsoft (and Azure) platform. They are able to do it so well, so quickly because Windows Visual Studio has much of that functionality already in it.

I suspect VSCode, just like NETCore will become their standard. I'm sure they have a path to switchover. They are banking on Azure now, so anything that pulls people to Azure is what they are investing in.

The biggest difference I can see between the Gates/Balmer era and the Nadella era is Gates/Balmer refused to do anything that would in any way endanger their Windows platform. This made them a ton of money for many years, but stole from their future as Linux took over the server side.
That's surprisingly prescient!

That is not necessarily a good thing.
BSD/Apache-like licenses are getting most of the traction, because of GPL "viral" issues, e.g. you can not ship GPLv3 Ghostscript with your product, even being "free", as it is not redistributable (the option is to tell the customer that Ghostscript is a "pre-requisite"). Although I have to recognize that 20 years ago I was more idealist than now, I'm not against the GPL, but against using the GPL not for freedom or sharing back modifications, but as a maquivelic vendor lock-in (e.g. spending $$$ in legal advice and some times not being 100% sure if using something is safe or not because of contradictory things).

Many have already posted about how the phone is less important than email/browser which we're ok with being 3rd party.

I didn't really think there could be a difference between phone apps until I got project fi from Google. Their phone app comes with voicemail transcription and spam detection. Some of that is obviously from the service itself, but these features seem like things that I'd want to be able to acquire even if I had an AT&T Samsung (which is what I moved from and didn't have by default). Third party seems fine with me.

> people also enjoy pre-rolled joints, edibles or concentrates which are more expensive.

This is not true, concentrates like THC oil (the marijuana equivalent of e-cigarettes, basically) are by far the least expensive way to use marijuana. In Oregon, one ounce of THC oil costs $60, and might last a moderate user three months; the same money spent on "flowers" (regular pot) would get you about 5 grams and probably last the same user a couple of weeks.
One counter argument is that you're still building on the same foundation.

This is an excellent Haskell resource. Grades are given by both application domain (e.g., "web development") and development task (e.g., "testing" or "IDE Support"). Each of the categories has not only a grade but also list of relevant libraries and example projects.

My guess: Rust.

Why you should believe my guess: Rust seems to be growing faster than Haskell.

Why you should not believe my guess: I'm primarily in the embedded space, where Rust fits well with the problems I'm used to having to solve. Haskell? Not so much. This makes Rust appear much more generally useful to me, when it may only be more useful in my specific area.

> I'm very confused. One second, you're literally saying Haskell was "carefully crafted", and the next, you're saying it's "the opposite of its pure vision"

> It's almost as if you're just trying as hard as you can to argue, not caring what stance you're arguing, just so long as you can act like the author is wrong

Let me write the complete sentence:

([luispedrocoelho commented that] Haskell is also a continuous patchwork ) (which I simply accepted and followed -- even though I am doubtful) which is the opposite of its pure vision, which is why I can't help think it is a negative (regarding OP's point).

I commented originally that OP's this C++ comparison is also negative, right? So it is consistent.

When I say something is carefully crafted, I am refering to its intention. When I accept that someone find it like C++ or is also a patchwork, I accept that as a reality. When the reality runs against its design goal/vision/purpose, it is a negative, IMHO. -- Hope this clarifies.

EDIT: to make it even clearer, I didn't comment that whether a pure design goal or a continuous patchwork reality on its own is positive or negative. That is subjective. However, having a design goal and reality conflict, that can't be positive.

>> C++ has pointer aliasing shenanigans, so it's hard to make it as efficient as Fortran

>I don't know how this could be the case (especially with the addition of shared pointer) but you shouldn't be writing code with huge shared memory dependencies. Use constexpr, use inline, and use functions. There's no need for 20 functions to have shared memory access to a piece of data (which I have seen scientists do).

Not sure you are understanding what is meant by pointer aliasing. Explicitly marking pointer arguments as 'restrict' in C can have a pretty dramatic speed benefit as the compiler can assume that the memory spaces do not overlap. C++ does not (strictly) have such a feature, unfortunately, and I don't see how shared_ptr/constexpr can fix this (although inline might in some cases)

Yes, it still gives good recommendations of artists and albums. I rarely used radio on it when it was available. It was like a social network years ago but now social features are mostly dead.

Not entirely mine, but a good summary of why basic income is likely to remain a pipe dream:

$12k is the cited number that you see a lot in basic income discussions. That's just over the poverty level. That's not enough to live on and it's practically a bonus for some members of this site. It's not enough to do anything with. Even with that, people would still work massive hours to obtain the best house on the block.

But just to do that in the US you are talking about 3 trillion dollars (300 million x $10k for easy math) that you have to find in the budget. Now basic income advocates will say you can make up some if not most of that by cutting welfare programs, but given the nature of welfare programs - good luck. That stipend is also not enough to pay for healthcare, so you can't cut that.

How exactly do you convince a nation which already isn't willing to pay for healthcare to pay for basic income, too?

I'd love to be wrong, but I've never seen any numbers that are workable, especially in a political climate anything like today. There could be a complete paradigm shift in the future, where machines literally take care of all needs in an automated way, but that's such a strange reality that welfare is honestly about the last problem we'd need to discuss.

> The inequality that you see today wasn't caused by globalism, but by tax cuts on the very rich

Source?

Only a minority of companies in the US even have executives that get the much maligned high pay and bonuses in the last decade or so. What about the massive percentage of wealth that didn't fall into this category? They may have gain significantly from globalism but that was hardly the result of US tax policy alone.

Lets not forget that democrats were in power for the last 8yrs and the state has only grown exponentially since the 1990s under both republican and democrat governments. Just because tax rates weren't the extremes of pre-1980/1970s doesn't make them low. They've been relatively consistent while the middle class income dropped.

The complexity of the tax code and lack of competitiveness with international countries may have heavily influenced inequality. But it was hardly the result of explicit tax reduction for the rich...

The idea that tax havens are something that were merely a matter of weak policy is naive. Even worse than the drug war hawks.

Just because the middle class didn't keep pace with the wealthy doesn't mean only the wealthy were at fault. The fact the middle class lost wealth is hardly singularly the fault of the wealthy. I know this narrative sells well in politics but it's very short sighted.

Even if the US adjusted tax policy to redistribute a larger chunk of taxes towards the middle class it would hardly make a dent in the new reality in the fact there is hardly a middle class economy like there used to be. So you must either develop a new middle class economy or you get temporary perks of taking it from the wealthy. This is the big whale in the room that the Bernie bro guys are ignoring. The likely scenario is that the wealthy would become continually less competitive over the years, shift way more money over seas, and the middle class would be in the same situation with a little bit more money for a short period.

Gov spending under any administration that enacts those policies would largely offset most of the gains going directly to the people regardless (which is good if it results in universal health care, but little else if it's not sustainable).

I know some in the YC community checked out Highfive early in our maturity curve when we released our product 2 years ago. I would love for folks here to try it out again and tell us what they think.

Polio is not a disease caused by malnutrition. Also, your ancestors probably did not die of it -- it mostly affected young people, so people who died from it usually didn't have descendants.

Quibbling aside, health in general was certainly much worse in our great-grandparents' days, but for those who weren't straight up underfed, nutrition was probably not worse. I'm not sure it was as magically better as some would have you believe, but there is decent evidence that traditional diets were more-or-less fine, and that the modern diet has something wrong with it.
