I wouldn’t call C# pseudo-functional. The ability to move from one approach to another approach as the problem spaces change is exactly what pragmatism is about. To be flexible and bending and to yield to what the developer needs to do. It is most definitely not for purists if that’s what you’re getting at, but then we are not talking about pragmatism to begin with.

Unless we mean to use the word “pragmatic” in the sense of “I like it, therefore it’s pragmatic” in which case we’ve entered circlejerk territory and the article should be flagged as such. But again, let’s be charitable and talk about what really is a pragmatic programming language.

As it stands, any competitors of F# are in more serious competition with C#. They just don’t know it. It’s worth discussing if we want to discuss pragmatic languages.

People forget their history lessons. This is exactly why and how C++ gained the massive adoption over C that it did. It allowed itself to be used as the Swiss knife of systems programming, and developers did what they wanted/needed to to get the job done. For every C89 (or Heaven forbid pre-standard C) purist, plentiful C++ programmers arose. And C# is entering that territory by stippling things on and incorporating them into its syntax. F# is excellent as a barometer in this regard. Good for testing the waters with a certain crowd and taking what works.

I don’t need to claim people aren’t “smart/brave” enough to point this out. That’s not what it’s about at all. It’s more about looking one or two steps ahead rather than looking at the here and now.

So, is Gleam pragmatic? Well, is it more pragmatic than C#?

> The answer for why folks are so inclined towards doing high-level tasks in Rust... is the type system.

TypeScript has an equally powerful type system.

Python's type system is almost as good.

Both have are significantly more productive when it comes to writing software, and have bigger ecosystems and lower learning curves.

> It makes a lot of progress towards the goal of "make invalid states unrepresentable", which could be really useful for web apps.

TypeScript and Elm are both good at this while being useful for web development today.

That's not necessarily at all. I could build a rough version in a week. It shouldn't take anyone much effort to imagine that there are all types of situations and broken relationships that could take significantly longer to repair.

This really has nothing to do with being neurotypical or neurodiverse. There might be some generalizations and correlations there, but really it's just about personality and lived experiences and situations.

Fully remote meaning there's no office and the company is 100% remote. The USA part means we only currently hire in the US.
"America" is the only name the country has. Other countries are also called "United States of $FOO", so the USA does not own title to "United States" in the same way no one owns "Democratic Republic" as the name of their country.

Regardless, in most languages and countries, it is just "America" so that ship has sailed. Either way, America or United States, everyone knows which country is being referenced.
I guess you could say the same about fossil fuel cars and gas stations? I doubt that everyone keeps their tanks full at all times.

I think I read that colic has to do with formula feeding? Apparently this sort of crying is not present in breastfed babies, it has to do with discomfort due to excessive gas generated when digesting the infant formula.

Babies certainly did not evolve to waste valuable time and resources on crying nonstop for no good reason, they likely do so only because something is not quite right. A more optimistic take is that they do it to develop the pipes, and the nonstop crying will pay off later with a great voice.

I don't think that candidates should have to do a lot of pointless data-entry to apply. If the candidate has tooling to increase their reach, for a given level of time invested, all the better. I'd rather that they have a minimum of personal investment to get into the top of the hiring funnel. If we start an interview process, then that will require increasing time and energy investment from both sides as it gets closer to hiring (and continuing to ramp up, to a point, post hiring).

I know I'm just making the "buy once, cry once" argument, and I understand that's "not how business works" but I'm an engineer, not a manager trading company interest for a promo.

You can't be that lazy, or you would use a language that doesn't force you to do memory management.

This is a very weird and arbitrary qualifier that seems designed to filter out other languages with type systems.

I don't think the dichotomy is between types and not-types - it's between Rust and other typed languages.

Most people here appear to agree that types are useful, but some people are claiming that a language that forces you to do memory management is somehow as ergonomic/lazy as others that manage memory for you (with equivalently good type systems - TypeScript, ~Python).

If your gas or diesel engine is old enough you could build yourself a wood/coal gasifier[1] and get yourself down the road. With a fairly simple regulator engines can be made to run well enough on natural gas, propane, maybe acetylene? Diesels will burn just about any liquid hydrocarbon, at least for a time before they succumb to injector pump damage or excessive carbon buildup.

Social welfare can be flaky too. I suspect especially so in countries with increasing numbers of retirees.

In New Zealand it is fantastic that we have social welfare as a last resort for the desperate, and sometimes it can be amazing. But too often it doesn't work out well.

The issue is, while the haters do seem like they are the standard outrage machine, I dont think people who are not into politics realize how batshit insane the Republicans side has gotten, which Musk is solidly a part of.

We are used to living this relatively cushy life, where we think that everyone is entitled to the political opinion, and we seem to take it for granted like its never going to change. But in reality, if Trump wins, it may very well be the end of American democratic experiment, and set us on the path towards a much lower standard of life. If EU and other markets start losing faith in US economy because we have a dictator in power, you better believe you are going to feel that, cause nobody will give a shit about the tech sector.

Like, its REALLY fucking bad right now with how close the polls are, and its scary that many peoplendont realize this fact.

So I dont think that at this point and time, its wise to chalk up all the hate rhetoric as just online outrage. People should be outraged. Vote blue downballot in November, and maybe once MAGA movement dies, we can go back to some form of normalicy.

They were already going away with the improvements in no-code tools, Zapier, scaffolding frameworks etc. LLMs are just another automated tool in this context.

I am a fan of Rust for systems programming, but so many people are using Rust for things that are nothing even remotely close to systems programming. So many projects you see being written (or rewritten) in Rust are projects where I just think 'wait, why can't this just have a GC'? And then you look at the code base, and it's all Arc<Mutex<RefCell>>s, and you can't help at marvel at this, since that's just GC, so what's the benefit of Rust here, exactly? (Don't @ me, ARC is GC.)

I think a lot of what people actually like about Rust, to be honest, is that it's essentially an ML language masquerading as a C-like, with a stellar packaging and tooling story. What people fall in love with is the rigorous static typing, the Option monad, the exhaustive enums (which are just sum types in disguise), the traits (type classes in disguise), the borrow checker (a half-way house to immutability) etc. People will brag about Rust's memory safety, and then you find out that they don't really know how lifetimes work, they just .clone() or Arc<Mutex<RefCell>> everything. Which is totally valid, but Rust is hardly necessary for that.

Rust is great, but - heretic idea - not literally everything needs to be in Rust. Go try Ruby on Rails for a while! Or - if Rust has whetted your appetite for more functional styles - Phoenix on Elixir! Yes, it's not quite so blazing fast, but - let's be honest here - you're not going to be getting billions of requests per second on your hobby website where you write about taking apart Amigas. It's OK! She'll be right.
Thanks this is interesting context
Not if, like most people, you still aren't using a CPU with AVX-512 support. And I don't recall ever seeing it in compiler output in any case. It's not like boolean operations on three variables occur very frequently in most programs, especially (EDIT: this last part apparently isn't the case) not operations that can't be decomposed into a pair of two-variable operations with no worse performance.

Not to mention that EVs outmileage every other type of engine in a traffic jam. Also, power is much easier to get compared to fuel (with maybe the exception of fuel for old diesels that will run on everything - but this depends on circumstance). This is really a bad dig at EVs.

Ask HN: Going to oncology (just for adjuvant chemo) how to prepare mentally?
I had an orchidectomy due to a non-seminoma. Because of the histopathology results, just to be safe I'm going to have 1 round of adjuvant chemo (BEP regimen) in 10 days.

There was no metastasis detected - I am essentially healthy at this point, it is done out of abundance of caution given how the cancer cells spread outside the tumor (still all within the excised tissue).

However I am afraid the human suffering on the oncology ward will hit me hard. Already, when waiting for a PET scan, seeing a bald 6-year-old kid made me feel uneasy.

Are there any articles that do a deeper dive into this? I ask because straight up I've been curious about Gleam, but not enough to do a really deep dive because Elixir is too good and, like Erlang, is a very special kind of dynamic language that doesn't leave me feel too lacking.

As I understand it, there have been a few "high profile" attempts to bring static typing to Erlang, all of which gave up when it came to typing messages. Your comment essentially confirms my bias, but is Gleam making real strides in solving this, or is it poised to merely cater to those who demand static-typing with curly braces--everything-else-be-dammed?
I 100% agree with you (I really miss HKTs), but I don't think the GP was using "best" to mean "most fully-featured".

And with that in mind, I do agree with the GP. Scala's type system, for example, is full of warts (well, Scala 2; I still haven't tried Scala 3). Rust's is cleaner and has fewer gotchas. I very rarely have to look up how to express something in Rust's type system, but I remember when I last did Scala, I often ran into weird type-system related errors that I just didn't understand and had to dig into to figure out. Some of that, sure, is likely due to Scala's type system having more features, but some of that is because it's just more complex. And I would usually rate something of lower complexity as better than something with higher complexity.
Sorbet: A neuromorphic hardware-compatible transformer-based spiking model
You're certainly correct about learning from each other, but I think it went beyond the cross-pollination of ideas. I took several higher level courses in other departments that were intended for majors in the other department, yet attracted students from across the university. They were always more lively than the homogeneous courses, introductory courses, and "bird courses".

I am bringing that up because a lot of universities mandate interdisciplinary courses, yet sabotage their value by letting students limit themselves to introductory courses or even offer special courses directed towards non-majors. Students frequently attend those courses for an easy A, but never let their preconceptions be challenged or bothered to challenge the ideas of others.

(That said, I don't really blame students for treating universities as vocational schools. I'm pretty sure the ones who went straight for the grades found more success in their professional life simply because they didn't let intellectual curiosity interfere with their professional goals.)
I occasionally use this service called serial literature that sends an email on the cadence you want for their selection of stories. I chose Count of Monte Cristo twice a week.
