True | alanwj | null | > Otherwise, index 0 is left with no useful meaning.
A lot of strong arguments can be made, but I think this is really the strongest. When starting with 0, there is a reasonable interpretation for every index. As python shows even a reasonable meaning can be assigned to negative indices.
When starting with 1, there is a reasonable interpretation for every index except 0. Now any bounds checking you do has to be changed to include a "and not equal to 0" clause. | null | 0 | 1315820324 | False | 0 | c2j99ca | t3_kbdgw | null | t1_c2j99ca | t1_c2j1wks | null | 1427589427 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | >which is exactly what this is. this isnt a game dev engine lol, its a replacement web scripting language.
Right, because games are the only kind of software that requires large realtime data processing. Think input device, compression, encryption, filtering, binary data handling, background processing. There are many places where you could simplify VM code generation by language design and have many times better performance (think 10x instead of 10%). Who knows, they could even implement vector operations that map to SIMD instructions, and that's the thing - we are arguing over the quality of something that hasn't been released. With a decent language and DOM API's they could actually turn browsers in to application sandboxes.
Other than that I'm saying that all this hur-dur fear mongering is stupid. This will only get picked up if it provides value and justifies the cost of adoption. Google has no "magic power" over the internet, if they decide to add chrome only improvements to their products, then that's good for chrome users, others are not affected. If they decide to cripple their products to push dart then the competition will eat them. This "segmentation of the web" from your link is just inane crying of a dev working on JS spec that he wasn't in on it from the start. It doesn't affect end users, it doesn't affect developers using it, and the whole thing only gets traction if other vendors chose to implement it. | null | 0 | 1315821893 | True | 0 | c2j9bnr | t3_kc9ai | null | t1_c2j9bnr | t1_c2j9849 | null | 1427589447 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | rizla7 | null | compression/encryption is handled by other protocols, filtering?, input/binary data/background, JS already does these, why reinvent the wheel? oh yea, just so you can own it. that's what i thought.
you know, the problem with integrating all the features you propose is that it will make it an inherent security risk. the web needs to be simple, not complicated. that is the essence of webdev. if you want to dev apps, then use a real language.
as for segmentation, not really. ie6 segmented the web, so people dropped support. everyone was all cheers, and then along came chrome and segmented it once more, pissing off a lot of devs. now they're at it again. JS is fine the way it is, it might need improvements i agree, but this obvious attempt by google to control the web is bullshit. they should follow generally accepted rules when attempting to develop standards. ofcourse they refuse, because they are the mighty google and think they can just trample on everybody. | null | 0 | 1315823177 | False | 0 | c2j9dpm | t3_kc9ai | null | t1_c2j9dpm | t1_c2j9bnr | null | 1427589475 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | MrMojoRisin68 | null | And I'm 34 and disagree. Most languages that matter use 0-based indices and since it's important to have a standard, then all languages should at least default to 0-based indices.
Have you done any low level programming? It makes even more sense why 0-based indices are important in assembly. Even in high level languages, it still is better to use 0-based indices for a lot of reasons.

True | ba-cawk | null | Being creative is fine and great and all, and some of the greater leaps in design and performance were authored through a creative process.
THAT SAID, most code (and I mean most by a very large margin) that has practical application is pretty boring... And anyone that's worked enough with rails third-party code, or some of the darker corners of Perl knows to be pretty skeptical of code that expresses more creativity than engineering discipline.
The only reason I point out the distinction is because there are a lot of younger programmers out there (which is where I presume this education would be focused on) who are encouraged to feel the exact opposite and generally find out the hard way sooner or later. Creative code is great and fun for one-offs and small applications but when things have to be maintained and others rely on your work, it can also be your worst nightmare. | null | 0 | 1315824050 | False | 0 | c2j9f4a | t3_kcii9 | null | t1_c2j9f4a | t1_c2j756v | null | 1427589491 | 7 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
