Lifetimes don't have anything to do with single-threaded or multi-threaded, they have to do with using stack allocation over heap allocation.

We can't talk about Tcl because it makes other languages look bad (Tcl solved both Desktop and Web GUI forever decades ago).

@peter9477 I am a prescriptivist. Descriptivists are simply defeatists and leftists who practice the bigotry of low expectations.

How did Julia betray you?

@prashanthb6521 I would love to hear more details if you could spare the time. After Rust, Julia is my only other hope, and I'm still waiting for them to complete the compiler. Crystal has amazing performance for the syntax but I don't want the OOP baggage. Hence I have been holding on for Julia to become compiled. So I would really appreciate your perspective from someone who wanted to like Julia and then saw otherwise. Thank you in advance.

@prashanthb6521 What mind games?

Hahahah fake-strict languages I love it.

@henrikholst7490 Well I did not know the hype was over, that's definitely good news to me, but what is the barometer you're using, if I may ask? Because if I could corroborate that good news in any way that would be extra-good.

It's quite a bit more. It's a pragmatic Haskell.

@dealloc Keep-Alive is not actually anything that "keeps a connection open" if you look into it deep enough.

Racket is too slow.
1
@bartkl Then it's better to just use Chez Scheme instead of Racket.

Immutable data structures don't need to make a copy to make a change.

@sk-sm9sh "it's an evolving field" is a nice way to say "it has no practical foundational basis". In other words, it's winged, based on what scammers can sell to gullible people that year. I'll stick with FP which is a real thing with a real theoretical basis and many mathematicians behind it.
1
@sk-sm9sh Yes, it's called Category Theory, and it informs Haskell - look at its libraries and you can see they are basically references to Computer Science by carefully dissecting and typing every operation of every library. More generally it's called Constructive Mathematics, the kind that dismisses the Law of the Excluded Middle and makes things either be true, false or bottom.

@zacharychristy8928 "this' what? What do you find absolutely possible with procedural programming as well?
1
@zacharychristy8928 Got it, thank you. I don't think Procedural can get as messy as OOP with its design patterns (implicit knowledge) and Windsor Castles and so on. But I agree complexity is a function of the programmer. The paradigm gives the programmer more or less rope to make their programs complex.
1
@zacharychristy8928 " it's tough, because if you're going to add the caveat of "with the right design patterns" or "when done correctly" you eliminate a lot of what both sides would consider valid examples of the paradigm being bad. " HUH? Read again, I was saying that design patterns make things more complex. I don't believe they can be done right. There's no theoretical, mathematical basis for them. I believe they are a scam. Re-read my answer. I said OOP has too many hoaxy fads that make it thousands of times more complex than procedural could ever be.
