Just wait until Java starts compiling to WebAssembly and skip learning JavaScript altogether.

"Physical activity, he said, pools blood in the lower half of the body, reducing blood flow to the heart. In response, the heart pumps more vigorously. In people with NCS, the brain misreads that as high blood pressure and tries to lower the pressure, which leads to decreased blood flow to the brain and, thus, fainting."
I like how it sounds like an engineering flaw. Hopefully one day our software will not be bound to randomly generated aging hardware.

Re:Why most popular GitHub repos are all web related?
on Friday June 19, 2015 @11:30AM (#9745435)
Web is independent, thus making tools for it is both no one's and everyone's concern.
Mobile/desktop platform providers on the other hand are typically worried about developer experience and thus e.g. you get XAML/QT instead of patching HTML with Bootstrap.

Unity3d provides C# to JavaScript compiler
Unity3d does too many things (except new versions of C# :P) and ties to itself. There should be a direct C# -> WebAssembly compiler in future.

Dart and TypeScript will be as irrelevant as JS. Why Dart if you can have Go/Scala/F#/Haskell/Ruby/etc. compiled to WebAssembly?

If I could just use my favourite language and not feel like a second class citizen, then I am not sure there would be anything else to complain about as a developer, really. A mark-up bytecode so that we could forget about the nightmare of HTML and CSS as well?

Re:How We Moved from Ruby to Go and Saved Our Sanity

C# and Go are both good choices. Hopefully Microsoft will deliver a decent Linux dev experience via VS Code / Monaco to make C# more appealing though. In 2015 people really deserve a language with generics in it. But, yeah just stay away from dynamic languages beyond prototypes. At least don't pick something that is both dynamic AND weakly typed.

Typical scenario: she lies to him she is (still) on the pill, gets pregnant - he has no say on abortion, gives a birth - he has to pay or he goes to jail.
Both parties should have a say on whether a child gets born.
