True | [deleted] | null | Not sure if managed code is really as much of "the future" as you make it out to be (much to my displeasement TBQH, I write C++ and Java for work too!) Problems come in all shapes and sizes, and I'd be *quite* hesitant to boil down native code to such realms to "mainframes and low powered devices" entirely - as if that was even a *small* market anyway. I mean, programming languages are absolutely for the convenience of human beings, no doubt. I like abstract shit. But there are a million other factors when it comes down to putting money on the line and doing a job, and a programming language is only *one* of those, even if several others are also technological/design related (again much to my dismay. I'd be pretty confident that the work I do in C++ today, and probably a lot of the Java, could be done in a lot less code/much more correctly in Haskell, and still quite efficient, but there are again a million other factors to consider here.)
Anyway, I use a language more expressive than C# and it compiles to native code, and I'm personally not lacking much there, so I think that's pretty good (although a million things could be like, a million times better, lemme tell ya.) | null | 0 | 1315875561 | False | 0 | c2jfjty | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2jfjty | t1_c2jcvh8 | null | 1427592457 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I really wish there was more talk/study on this topic - it's interesting and *very* relevant, especially in certain fields of business software.
You've talked of cases involving switching the code between doing the same thing 2 different ways. Where it gets more painful is where the original is written to acommodate a subset of desired functionality; but you need to change how the code works (triggering the problem you mentioned) to get the full functionality.

You say that in the past tense like it's over. And Python's job is *much* easier here: Guido and the foundation own the canonical implementation, and the majority of Python code is run in a context where one person controls both the script being run and the implementation running it.
JS has no single canonical implementation, and the browsers running the code have no relation to the people who wrote it.

Classes are older than prototypes. How are they fashionable? Part of the uphill battle with them is because in the JS community, classes are so *un*fashionable.

Most of the features being worked on for ES.next aren't targeted towards new developers (though they are carefully being designed to not alienate them). JS has no shortage of new users.
What I think it suffers from is a lack of features for experienced users writing large programs. Noob programmers don't show up and complain about a lack of a module system.

True | [deleted] | null | > future.. hmm, think RAD. faster dev times, faster time to market, faster future? hardware is just getting cheaper, faster, more efficient.
What does RAD even mean here? Again I write C++ at work, and I've also given thought to if C# could do the same task. I think it could, although I don't know it that well. For context, we're talking about data backup software here. The C++ code does all the backup of a filesystem. It also has to communicate with drivers, and has a bit of involved logic, etc. None of this is truly user facing, it's all really a lot of heavy I/O work among other things, although like most we try hard as possible to trade disk time for CPU time if applicable (so very fast compression here helps tremendously.) There's a large client facing component of our software, but I just mean the C++ work (which is still quite important, and sees very active development, even if it is in ratio of LOC the smaller project overall.) I'd argue a lot of code falls into line here - needed, yet not visible. Does the term 'RAD' even mean a whole lot here, given what its definition was in the past?
If that's the case for a large amount of work, is RAD just some meaningless/overloaded term for "using a high level language?" If that's what you're saying, I completely agree. In fact I think there is no reason why high level languages cannot also be very efficient, and as an example GHC proves to be quite a good compiler for the most part.
Mostly I'm just not sure if I buy into the whole UNCOL story I guess - a single 'intermediate language to rule them all,' with the idea that "computers will always get faster, to where it doesn't matter how slow it is." Managed runtimes today cannot completely deal with all the languages and designs we put on them and as a result, those languages suffer either from warts, performance penalties, or both. Look at an example like LuaJIT: it is a high level language that is ridiculously fast (faster than any .NET implementation of Lua, I'd be willing to bet, or probably just about any .NET language for that matter) because it specifically *avoids* those generalities that lead to warts in the design or losses in performance.
I don't think high level languages can't be fast, or that we shouldn't use them. Humans should take on the most abstract thing possible. I'm just not putting all my eggs in one gigantic basket, is all.
> the only problem is, huge companies can afford to do RAD with unmanaged code lol. most businesses simply cant. especially startups, its very hard nowadays. time to market is just so fast.
There are plenty of choices if you just want to write code in a high level language, and some can certainly give you more of an edge than others in terms of business and programmer efficiency, large or small.
> but can you target all devices/platforms from haskell? ;p which is all that really matters in the end hehe.
Windows, Linux, OS X, x86/x86_64 (modulo x86_64 windows :( ) and there's ARM support in GHC HEAD now, and there's been an iPhone port for a while, as well as a company working on an iPhone game in Haskell too (they apparently also are doing Android work.) There's a lot of active web development, and lots of people seem to think that's a very good niche too. I'd kill for a good native GUI toolkit for the main platforms however. Definitely something that needs to be done.

True | repsilat | null | The "`--`" operator is used to decrease an integer by one. You can
* put it before a variable name (`--x`), in which case the expression evaluates to the new value of `x`, or
* put it after a variable name (`x--`), in which case the expression evaluates to the old value of `x`.
For example:
int x, y;
x = 10;
y = --x;
printf("x=%d, y=%d\n", x, y); //"x=9, y=9"
x = 10;
y = x--;
printf("x=%d, y=%d\n", x, y); //"x=9, y=10"
The "arrow" `-->` is just the `--` operator followed by the `>` operator, so "`x-->5`" is the same as "`(x--) > 5`". It decreases `x` by one, and evaluates to true if `x` used to be greater than five.
The dashes work similarly, expanding to the `--` operator and the `-` operator (in that order): "`x---5`" is the same as "`(x--) - 5`". That is, `x` is decreased by one, and the expression evaluates to the difference between the old value of `x` and `5`. In a logical test (like an `if` or a `while` statement) this expression is considered false if it is zero, and true if nonzero. | null | 0 | 1315878708 | False | 0 | c2jfyhi | t3_kchtc | null | t1_c2jfyhi | t1_c2jf4yf | null | 1427592649 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | -zorak- | null | They aren't real operators. They are playing silly games with spacing of the operators. "-->" is really a "--" (decrement the preceding expression) and a ">" which is the good old greater-than operator.
The second one may or may not work depending on the way the operands are written, but it will _always_ be resolved by the compiler as a "--" followed by a "-" because of something called the "maximal munch rule" that determines how tokens in the C language are recognized.

I'm not saying that it's a bad thing that you build this (it's not), I'm just saying that there are conditions where strict adherence to the spec isn't enough, and weird edge cases exist that could bite you at some point.
You haven't even implemented a strict adherence here - for example, it's possible to use an `@` in the local part so long as it's escaped - but you *have* implemented a fairly practical solution that will handle the vast majority of cases.
My only point was that the email spec is a lot more nuanced and complex than most people think, and much smarter people than either of us have taken runs at making a regex for it and ended up with a regex several pages long. If your validator works for you, then by all means keep with it. I just wanted you to be aware that there are weird edge cases where some people (including some major players, like Facebook) have made things that don't actually adhere to the spec you're validating against. | null | 0 | 1315881359 | False | 0 | c2jgb1w | t3_kd0x9 | null | t1_c2jgb1w | t1_c2jg26u | null | 1427592816 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | Almafeta | null | Plenty of games have hacking minigames these days.

Or where critical plot hints and tips could only be found out by scanning source code for the part of the algorithm that diverges from what you can see otherwise. | null | 0 | 1315881636 | False | 0 | c2jgcgg | t3_kcii9 | null | t1_c2jgcgg | t1_c2jfq57 | null | 1427592832 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
