Re:The Fennel Programming Language on Monday September 09, 2024 @11:39AM (#41489628)
I have 3500 lines config file in Lua that I have converted from VimScript last year. I see that Lua it's way easier to maintain than VimScript.

Fennel solves some Lua kirks, so I think that is a good use case, since Fennel has some cool features that can help to maintain the code. Right now I am moving the plugins that I maintain to Fennel.

If interested take a look on the https://github.com/Olical/nfnl and https://github.com/gpanders/fennel-repl.nvim plugins.

Can someone explain why this discovery is linked with black holes discovery? It's just for the experimental research or its there something more?

Would be really good a change no the communication side. But I am without expectations side there where days without any explanation about why a draft for trademark pourposes was so bad.

Now working with Rust I have the same feelings as working with Java...

That's what we are using right now in production. But the main benefit on this case is that we also can use the same language on the server and devops.

My two cents would be on F#.

Yes, isn't a mainstream language but there are a lot of interesting things with it:

- build for .NET or languages supported by Fable (JavaScript, Dart*, Python*, Rust*, PHP*) - I did build a proof of concept Flutter app with it

- multiparadigm - FP or OO, you choose

- clean syntax - based on indent just like Python

- Type providers, type inference, ...

* These are on Fable 4.0.0-theta-018 at moment

> director of research at Bank of America said that quantum computing will be “bigger than fire”. The only way in I can see this coming true is that it’ll produce more carbon emissions.

I laugh so hard on this. But it's true.

Re:OCaml at First Glance on Monday August 29, 2022 @11:39AM (#32639543)
1. For F# you can can use both .NET and JavaScript libraries (with tool called Fable), so isn't a issue.

2. There a lot of ways to the that, which one with pros and cons, but isn't a issue in my opinion

3. For imports there are a thing called AutoOpen that is strange at first. Just need to be carefull where to use

4. .NET documentation tend to be writed for C#. So you need to understand at least a little of C# if you want to use that libraries. But also there are a lot that can be use idiomaticaly with F#, so isn't a big issue.

I am away from Facebook for some years. But yes, there are a lot of spam on it, even years ago. This was the main reason that I stop using, since a lot of content was irrelevant
Re:.NET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04 on Tuesday August 16, 2022 @09:56AM (#32482774)
We use .NET on Linux cloud for some years. Even on Windows we use Docker instead
But if the matter on the big bang was limited wouldn't a limit on the universe size based on how much matter exists?
At same time that a center does not exists it exists. Take a line between the two sides from the theoretical border, divide in the middle and will be a center. But isn't a center.
Time to take some coffee and configure Vim

This is cool! Turn this default please!
Thanks! About the plugin... I am improving it little by little. Call me if you find any bug or want some feature. I use it daily to work with F# and Dart/Flutter.
