It's not truly open but Android (as a platform) does seem to be moving
in the right direction. I'm not an Android OS hacker, but as an
outsider, my complaint would be that it is apparently very hard to get
AOSP up and running on an off-the-shelf phone today. This is from my
personal experience of trying several ROMs on my Galaxy S and finding
that many are extremely unstable. It seems like the dev teams have to
work very hard to make basic things like phone calls and the GPS work
correctly. Even the process of installing a ROM and flashing
different bootloaders when you get stuck in a boot loop, etc, just
seems wrong.

But it's early to be complaining. The OSS revolution on PC hardware
didn't happen overnight. We now live in somewhat of a golden age
where people can run 100% open software on their PCs, and in a lot of
cases it also "Just works". I hope Android continues to mature in
that direction such that, eventually, it will be a matter of selecting
a distro and installing it on your phone (and getting exactly the
behavior you want from your phone).

Today you can run a custom ROM, but it is pretty hacky, involving
trolling forums and downloading a few zipfiles and hoping they will
unpack and run correctly. (And "rooting" your phone.) And it can go
horribly wrong (I seem to have damaged the "download mode" on my phone
the last time around, but fortunately I've ended up with a stable 2.2
system). In a couple years time, I'm hoping the landscape will look a
little more like the Linux/PC world we have now. It may be that we'll
have to stop hoping Google will be our benevolent dictator and form an
independent Android OSS community, though.
Mozilla's Brendan Eich, inventor of JavaScript, on the Dart memo leaked a few weeks ago:

A Dart to JS compiler will never be "decent" compared to having the Dart VM in the browser. Yet I guarantee you that Apple and Microsoft (and Opera and Mozilla, but the first two are enough) will never embed the Dart VM. So "Works best in Chrome" and even "Works only in Chrome" are new norms promulgated intentionally by Google. We see more of this fragmentation every day. As a user of Chrome and Firefox (and Safari), I find it painful to experience, never mind the political bad taste

Ask HN: is there room for a new blogging service?
This may be a little bit ridiculous, after all, there are wordpress.com, blogger and tumblr. But the sad fact is, I have so far been unable to provide my non-technical friends and family with blogs. Tumblr (maybe the best bet) turned out to be too slow and erratic when I evaluated their interface, blogger is ugly and has mandatory Blogger-Branding (I think), and Wordpress.com has intransparent pricing (I can't figure out how much they cost from their homepage). Furthermore, Wordpress is based on PHP - I could never figure out how to properly host multiple WP blogs on my debian server, and in general I don't trust PHP so hosting it myself makes me feel very uneasy.

For those reasons I plan to migrate my blogs to Octopress/Jekyll, which is of course not an option for non-techie people. But it made me think, maybe a similarly clean interface could be presented to non-techies anyway (kind of like Jekyll without the command line). The problem with existing blog engines seems to be that they are overloaded with Ajax and features.
We should care about backspace, specifically, because for the 99.9998% of the population that does not routinely use it for Back it is only a source of costly, frustrating errors.

Meanwhile, I've been slowly eliminating my usage of `class` from all of my CoffeeScript code. I've found that my code is much more reusable, far less prone to `this` bugs, easier to reason about, etc. I used to be a huuuge OOP guy, but now I rarely find a use for classes...

The google.com domain has a better PageRank (10) than LinkedIn (9). Not saying this totally justifies the ranking, but it certainly has some effect. Especially if PageRank is a magnitude scale.

No, they're not – nor is tabs-vs-spaces (convention) in the same category as semicolons (syntax). It's ergonomics; less superfluous entities and boilerplate makes it easier to express ideas.
Most excellent sir!

I disagree with his premise.

The Dart to JS compiler doesn't have to be "decent" compared to having the Dart VM in the browser to be useful in a world where other browsers don't use the Dart VM, it merely has to be "decent" compared to handcrafted JavaScript performing the same task in another browser.

If direct Dart code runs faster than JavaScript on Chrome, that's a nice bonus, but if it runs as well as similar code that was originally written in JavaScript on the other browsers (when the Dart code is compiled to JS) that's good enough. Dart on the other browsers isn't competing with Dart on Chrome, it is competing with JavaScript on the other browsers and that's how it should be measured.

And if it turns out apps in Dart on Chrome really blow away apps in JavaScript on other browsers to the point where both devs and users start embracing Chrome even more for these gains then hopefully that will light a fire under everyone else to either adopt Dart or do something to fix what would then be an undeniable problem of JavaScript.
I prefer languages without semicolons, but, for me, semicolons aren't a dealbreaker.
That's a fair point, but it's pretty annoying when you read about some cool new language but you can't find any good sample code anywhere. anic and newspeak come to mind.
That statement came with no benchmarks or numbers, no knowledge of the Dart VM and it's relative performance to V8, and no knowledge of the Dart to JS compiler and what kinds of optimizations it does.

If you run Google's closure compiler on JS, for example, in some cases, it produces a very significant speedup than hand-tuned hand-written JS, so saying "never be decent" is a pretty strong claim to make.

I'd guess it's also a lot about class-based vs. prototype-based. The latter often leads to messy architectures. It might be an intrinsic characteristic of prototype-based design, or because 99% of people learn OOP with a class-based language, I don't know.

Prototypes are fine for a language like JavaScript. They keep things simple. I'd prefer that CoffeeScript (and Dart, of course) implemented a decent syntax for prototyping, replacing the JS mess, rather than trying to disguise them as leaky and half-featured classes.
From whatever little I see, I am already hating it :-) This looks like Java for Javascript, if that makes any kind of sense. We are in the year 2011, PL design has progressed so much since 1990 that such an anachronism is unpardonable. I sincerely wish that companies like Google focus on hiring the right kind of person for designing programming languages.

What is frustrating is that there are so many people who can do this job right, yet we are stuck with amateurish programming languages designed by companies like Google. Please try and hire people like Oleg Kiselyov, Simon Marlow, Erik Meijer or some one from the possible hundreds who have worked deep in PL theory for literally decades. On the face of it Gilad Bracha has great credentials, credentials that would make the HR folk happy but one look at some of the stuff he writes and we know things are not going to be good.

http://gbracha.blogspot.com/2011/06/types-are-anti-modular.h...

I think Phil Wadler gave him more respect than was due in the comments :-) Microsoft hired Anders Hejlsberg for .Net which I don't think was a good idea, he is a great engineer but not a PL theory expert. They however "rectified" the situation by hiring Erik Meijer later and his impact via LINQ and F# and improvements in C# is obvious. Not to say that Hejlsberg is not good, but Meijer is better. Getting back on track, I may be wrong but Dart makes me groan. It is one thing to design such a language in 1990, but quite another thing to do it in 2011.
I totally missed this guide. I'd definitely use Cython to optimize this.

Previously I used Cython to wrap original C++ code and it performed really well but I got numerical differences in result.

From the article:

"Dart code can be executed in two different ways: either on a native virtual machine or on top of a JavaScript engine by using a compiler that translates Dart code to JavaScript. This means you can write a web application in Dart and have it compiled and run on any modern browser."

There is no way, and I don't think Dribbble is an OAuth source. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will look into that and maybe ping Dan C. to see if it's possible.
plus.google.com is a subdomain and would inherit some value as linked from Google.com - That doesn't justify the ranking of an internal page that's not connected from the plus.google.com home page.
Here are some use cases:

- go to the table of contents

- click a hyperlink to another chapter

- open a search panel to search for text

Most will be used more when reading reference works then when reading literature, but a search can be useful in literature, too:

- if you want to make a quotation, it makes it easier to find the exact text to quote.

- if, on page 400 of the lord of the rings, you encounter a name that you vaguely remember, searching makes it easier to find out where the person or place was introduced.

I love Python. I prefer working without semicolons.

But from a new language standpoint, it's not worth dropping them. The ridiculous arguments that come out of it, the programmers who refuse to use the language because of it, they're things that can and should be avoided by using semicolons like most languages.

It just doesn't have the syntax for maps that javascript has for objects.
yes finally an alternative to javascript! zomg so excited :3
The optionally static types in the Dart language seems like a good idea. You get both beautiful, simple code, like in Ruby, and the possibility to speed up execution by adding types later.

On the other hand, you still don't have the great community like for instance ruby has. Charles Nutter has created a static typed ruby like language, called Mirah, which looks similar.

Java didn't invent classes. It certainly looks a lot like Java, but it's more Smalltalk under the hood.

It completely does. And I love that it manages to be completely incoherent with Go, the other "Google Language". That's so symptomatic of what google does on that front.
Why didn't they go a bit further and have type inference? They proved already with Go that you can have type inference in a language and still have a fairly light/dynamic feel.
Thank you TMK. Is there a particular reason? Is there an argument to be made that the structure of Python programs makes you a better programmer?
In terms of ease of use I would definitely go Rails, it pretty much has the largest ecosystem in terms of web development.

In terms of more academically interesting languages, I might recommend Haskell or Clojure.
I'll give you my votes then:

- no braces where avoidable, no semicolons where avoidable

- release early a free, open source reference development environment that really helps in developing with Dart. The biggest pain with Javascript, imho, is in the lack of development tools really thought out for it, and not just an adaptation of Java/C/whatever other editors

- if you develop said IDE as a web-IDE, even better (why not writte in dart itself?)

- give as many inobtrusive visual cues as possible to easily see tab alignment, syntax coloring, etc.

- integrate unit testing facilities in the IDE

Varying the contrast/brightness should be part of the process of evaluating a pattern for a website. Many users won't have properly calibrated monitors.

Could this time have been different?
> The language isn't done yet. Now is the time to let us know if you want semicolons to go away.

Seeing how Go, which "wasn't done yet" either, handled external feedback... I don't see why anyone would have hopes for dart.

Out of curiosity I checked to see if their DSL is Symmetric. Well, it isn't (too much to hope for, I guess), but they do show their upload bandwidths. Here in France, I know of only one ISP that would tell you about their upload bandwidths, an it is a non-profit (FDN).

I also appreciate they offer static IP (presumably v4) (8 addresses? Like, a /3?), but I wonder why it costs so much. A DSL modem/router typically stays on all day long, so, surely they could offer a single static IPv4 without any additional cost to themselves?
If they're not mandatory, they should be out altogether unless required. Making them just optional is a path straight to js-land weird edge cases.

Not sure exactly what your problem is since that code won't even compile
The lack of browser support implies architectural choices that will always make old browsers lag behind. It means that the generated JS uses modern JS features. If it would be easy to support older browsers, they would've done so already - at least to some extent. The fact that it compiles only to JS for the very latest versions of a small number of browsers gives me the impression that a lot of language/compilation choices are closely tied to these new JS features. This, in turn, implies that supporting older JS versions is non-trivial.

Maybe I'm wrong, that'd be nice.

One of the interesting things is that, people were shocked when one of the commentators suggested that she kill herself to reduce the footprint. But they don't seem to show the same reaction when she herself is willing to limit her genes by not having children (isn't it kind of suicidal ?)...
> Well, it's hard to get that much better than that.

var greeter = Greeter()

there, no need for `new`.

Alternatively,

var greeter = Greeter.new()

or

var greeter = greeter new

if it's not acceptable to have arbitrary callable objects.

> it's more Smalltalk under the hood.

The speed and wide-spread use of Smalltalk with the regularity, flexibility and terseness of Java's syntax? That sounds like a recipe for success.
I've been very pleasantly surprised at how open to feedback Lars, Kasper, and the gang have been with Dart. One of my big concerns joining the team was that it would be like Go which seems like a locked castle. So far, it's been much better than I expected.
We all know that Google Search doesn't have an algorithm as such, it has hundreds of signals that weight results for the positive or negative.

All we're seeing here is that Google have determined that Plus is a good signal since they assume that their knowledge of that data can be trusted and verified more than the data held by a third party.

They are probably right on that, so you can imagine that they would class it as a very strong signal, such that against another resource with many weaker signals the other resource loses and the Plus page ranks higher.

The only question is whether this is in some way a bad thing.

Is it bad to place a strong signal on one of your own properties?

To not place a signal would be equivalent to negatively placing a signal as they most likely do have signals against other identity services (LinkedIn and Facebook), but to place an equal signal is to say that you only trust your own data as much as a third party - which is probably not the case, you trust your own more.

To place a strong signal is probably correct in terms of your trust of the data, but does raise the spectre of being questioned about whether this is fair behaviour.
Weird that a systems language and a web language are different, huh?
tumblr is slow and erratic? first I've heard that one.

secondly your 'distrust' of PHP makes no sense. Trust me, I hate php and would _never_ program in it myself, but that doesn't make wordpress any less of a good product. Hell facebook is based on php :P.

third- there's always room for a new service if it genuinely solves a problem and is executed well, so go for it ;)
