That’s not true. It happens quite often. Variables, classnames, php targets are changed on a whim.


Any language that has pattern matching looks similar. Much nicer than if/else/switch.


Indeed both of those look so much like ML which predates them by a few decades.


I was surprised it was a seperate library in Clojure and doesn’t seem to be something that gets used much. Puts me off that it’s missing one of the most attaractive features of functional languages.


Genuine question, is the internal search any good? I can’t remember ever going straight to stackoverflow so I’m wondering how many people actually use Stack Overflow’s search compared to finding the most relevant answer via google’s index? This would be lost for an enterprise version.

Just watched this video about Scala 3 last night and the list of features Scala pioneered in a mainstream language is fairly incredible.


You’re gonna lose some of those features also on Lambda. The speed is gonna be subject to the time to cold start the VM, the times for this are not great for the JVM or .net runtimes.


That doesnt stand up to reason. There was no enquiry into the amount of hours put into this that would indiciate it was second job or exhausting, they also don't do a full enquiry into any other activities outside your work that might exaust you. That would make contributing to open source a totally arbitrary thing to pick on, which of course it isn't.


Can you give some examples of how git has rapidly changed?


Bit of a disingenuous statistic. It’s popularity is down to being the default choice for people learning the MEAN/MERN stack. Which is a large number of people currently teaching themselves web dev and goes hand in hand with the rise in popularity of Javascript. It’s got little to do with wether people need a document store or wether it’s good at that job, 99% of the time it’s being used to dump relational data.


Basic support is free. You pay more for better response times and more users being able to open cases. Having said that it is expensive at business level. 10% of your spend if you want the sort of response times you need in production.
