Beyond Functional Programming: The Verse Programming Language (Simon Peyton Jones) [Unreal Engine]

Stumbled upon this video. Seems really interesting. SPJ is really enjoyable to listen to, as always.

Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • I'm kind of a beginner... Can someone explain why you would make/use/have a dynamically and/or weak typed language? Is it just to not write some toInteger / as u64 / try_from()? I mean the drawbacks seem to outweigh the benefits...

  • The video I posted, which got -32 and counting, but which is from, I would say, a reputable source, claims that the UK was not able to produce evidence that Russia was already using Uranium before giving Uranium to Ukraine. (if I remember correctly) But no one F-fing watches it :P

    BTW I totally understand Ukraine using them. I am skeptical about others providing them...

    "Alarming": Biden to Supply Depleted Uranium Shells to Ukraine Despite Contamination Risks [Democracy Now!]
  • OK. I understand this, but you shouldn't accuse people who are concerned about a war or hope for peace of being pro-Putin... Nothing I said, or the video said, is remotely pro-Putin... You instantly made me your enemy, equating me to people who support the opposite side. When things are most emotional one should be careful not to let their feelings cloud their judgment...

  • WTF is this "I am going to say this again so that you understand"? lol You wanna fistfight or something? You wanna measure our degrees? Please be more polite... I didn't say anything insulting or even extreme, neither did the news clip. You did earlier when you accused me of being pro-Putin for being concerned about fucking Uranium being used in a war which, I assume, is far closer to my home than yours... Also, by your attitude bad scientist.

    Democracy Now! news clip containing info about Uranium weapons already in Ukraine (supplied by the UK), as well as info about Uranium weapons used in the past (in Iraq), and the effects of their use.

    Has anyone used Lapce? Is it any good?

    I use Emacs, but only because I don't want to use VSCode (spyware) or VSCodium (even that does not get all the telemetry out by default, and anyway, it's like using Chromium...). But Emacs is NOT good for my OCD... Too much time configuring things I don't really care about. And I don't code as much as actual (professionals) programmers (I'm a mathematician), so I basically use my mouse a lot...

    Anyway has anyone tried Lapce? Is it any good?

    Rocky Linux is for-profit! I'd chose AlmaLinux

    I was curious why CERN and Fermilab chose AlmaLinux instead of Rocky Linux. After googling, I found out that the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, which controls Rocky Linux, is a public-benefit corporation. This is a for-profit type of corporation, unlike what the name suggests. The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501\(c)(6) non-profit, which in my mind is clearly the type of organization that should control such an OS.
