Not really a language you would write in but WebAssembly. I have this dream of a single WASM runtime environment across web, desktop, mobile with devs writing apps once, compiling them down to WASM, distributing them over the Internet, and users running them on any platform they like.

VSCode with Go language support: removes unused variable on save “Fixed that compilation bug for ya, boss”

SaaS vendor about to be DoS’d: “(chuckles) I’m in danger”

“Hi team, customers observing BigCannon is missing enemy about 90% of time since latest update. Red faction reported issue 4pm ET today and opposing Blue faction was able to re-pro. Can we get all hands on deck to deep dive and push a fix by midnight so both sides can start reliably shooting at each other again before tomorrow morning? Thanks”

I really hope so. Last code I reviewed was full of !! and companion objects trying to emulate Java static instead of top-level consts. Even I’m still trying to figure out what idiomatic Kotlin looks like. We got a ways to go…

The interoperability is both a blessing and a curse imo since it let us half-ass the integration by leaving a bunch of Java code unconverted. I could start refactoring everything but then my team would stop reviewing my PRs due to the diff size (and then my manager would eventually find out that I’ve been using up work time doing this instead of shipping features during crunch week).

I really much prefer Kotlin to Java. I just wish my team had actually had a commitment to it instead of just sorta using it with no migration plan.

This is literally how this all started for us lol. Senior wanted to try to migrate everything to Kotlin in our project. Migration never finished. Now one of our major repos is just half Kotlin half Java. Devs on our team learn Kotlin by unexpectedly encountering it when they need to touch that code.

I hope not. I’m pretty sure me and my coworkers would be at each others’ throats if it were not for some form of typed JS holding our Frankenstein codebase together.

Congrats! Game looks really cool! Best of luck

…and then there’s Go who just won’t let you compile at all

“Dr. Prof. Mann, I really didn’t understand anything about UNIX on that last midterm. Can we go over how to touch and finger after class?”

I deduce these two sets must be the same then?

It’s obviously:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “./main.py”, line 2, in <module> AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘length’

Jekyll is what I use. There’s a lot of canned themes out there: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/

Man how are we gonna write all of our Whitespace programs now?

I think we gotta take this offline

one box to handle all the frontend requests

why is my project’s architecture here lmao

Not programming per se but my sister thinks it’s okay to have 300+ Chrome tabs open and just memorize the relative locations of them whenever she needs something. She’s lucky she has a beefy computer.

My vote is Go. I’ve tried to make web services in both before and personally always found Go easier to use without noticeable performance trade-offs (even for real-time websocket apps). I feel you could always optimize more later if you start actually seeing performance issues.

Obviously if team was doing agile with CI/CD to promote frequent deployments and testing they would’ve never encountered this mess /s
