The "everything is a string" mantra Will be back!?! The Millenial programmer will try to comment out a line of code while the TCL interpreter Will insists that is a validade code...

Come on guys, let some technologies dies peacefully, Ok? We don't want those days back :)

Re:Porting a historic Python2 module to Python3 on Thursday July 27, 2017 @03:22PM (#14868508)
Yes, this is exactly the issue. Porting to Python 3 was never an issue itself, but keep your code compatible with Python 2 (while introduce 3) is a nightmare :P
Nice article!

This guy has a very stranger way to promote his job.

He firstly said that Py3 sucks and he can't teach it... and now he is teaching it ;-)

Does any one know if there is a plan for a GCC Rust Frontend?
Very well illustrated.

For those interested in GNU GCC, there is a more recent document been writing here:

The author is also writing blog posts about how to code a GCC frontend. Here is the 7º part:

Re:Do you need to know math for doing great science? on Wednesday January 20, 2016 @05:07AM (#10937035)
No, you don't need!

But if you want to publish in a respectful magazine and you don't know how to formalize (in maths) your accomplishment, you will not get accept.

well, I care. But what if I don't have choice? simple don't use it?
Re:Why Perl 6 is Different (2010) on Tuesday January 12, 2016 @06:15AM (#10886714)
I like P6 syntax and semantic more them P5.

My only one problem about P6 is the fact they dropped the effort of having the specification so others can implement the language too. Looks like they prefer a conformance test instead of a formal/complete specification.

While that is perfect fine, I would say having both the test and the spec is even better, for those trying to learn and implement the language.

A good, formal and complete specification will make my learning process much better, IMHO.

Re:Two Weeks of Rust on Tuesday January 12, 2016 @05:59AM (#10886654)
In 2016 I would like to see a Rust frontend for GCC, with LTO support and all the list of target backends GCC support.

Re:Is Linux ready for desktop? tl;dr – NO on Tuesday January 05, 2016 @07:12AM (#10842817)
I am using Debian as my main desktop (laptop in this case) for the last 8 years... sure I am not the only one.

I have suspend/hibernate, great Gnome experience, no issues to run presentations or use public printers, really stable and very fast experience, and I did not configure any system aspect to make it work, just installed the distribution and that works out of box.

Well, I am very happy with Linux desktop. Just presenting a contra-example :)
