C++ and Rust's compilation times are glacial, and none of them can do this: * Concurrency is a first-class language feature. * Duck-typing - one doesn't need to explicitly define class hierarchies, as interfaces are implicitly satisfied. * Reduced language keyword set, and eg there's only one loop construct (for). * Garbage collection. * First-class built-in tooling: race detection, profiling, tracing, etc. * Symbols are accessible outside of a package simply by the type / value having a name with a capitalised first letter. * No project files! * Cross-compiling available on all platforms on which the language is supported. ie on Linux I can easily compile for Arm, Windows, etc. * Built-in documentation generation. * Compilation generates single target files, reducing dependencies. * The language is bordering on being sealed, meaning code which compiled today will still compile years from now. * The language favours composition over inheritance, reducing complexity.

I don't think that's an accurate comparison, because in pre-generics Java, you had to use casting from Object even for basic list and map types, whereas go has slices and maps builtin to the language that have type safety, and they cover a huge portion of the common use cases for generics. I'm not saying it's perfect, and I'm looking forward to them introducing generics, but Go is very much usable today.

It's way faster and more stable and has a nicer interface. re: learn a single thing. They're essentially the same tool. You need to learn like two commands and one flag. This isn't a big ask. It's not a major difference, but if your complaint is speed, you need to try it. I've built a lot of projects with it and have never had compatibility issues, or even heard of compatibility issues... but if any existed, they're probably now resolved, because Yarn is quite widely used.

Go error handling is a disaster. I work in go now and the first time I pulled up my teams repository I was like "surely all these if error not nil blocks are bad form" but nope. A simple function that composes 3 calls has to be 10+ lines long. It is like someone looked at C style errors and went "yep, this is the height of engineering right here"

I am looking at this thing in Bulgaria and sometimes even on local level (the capital vs smaller cities). Companies come, pay 10-15% above average and wonder why people are not coming in droves. People in general do not quit just for 15% increase because who knows maybe the new company sucks and you know no one there to recommend it or give insider info. Of course in the meantime you get infinite amount of unqualified candidates but this is always the case no matter where you are. If you want to build an office this way you must be persistent over a couple of years. When people get annoyed or bored at their current job they will come for the higher salaries but the process takes time. The other way is to pay much higher salaries like 30+% higher then you will find qualified people. The problem with this strategy is that you will get people who are motivated mainly by money. In general this is fine but if a bigger company comes around and they outpay you you will flush-lose a lot of devs because these people will move to the new company. Also note that the average dev outside the US is worse (in some of the ways you say) therefore if you are trying to build an office outside the US you want to hire above average devs there or above what your US level is (for example if you hire below average in the US you hire average abroad). Another good strategy is to have a trusted employee who wants to return to their home country. This is ideal opportunity to promote him to team lead or something reducing the friction with local culture and language issues.

> Do you think the MVP for a Tesla model 3 was a soapbox, 3 wheels and a first generation iPod touch? I've been dealing with electric traction for a long, long time, so I'm the wrong person to ask. But I bet my idea what's important as an engineer is a long way away from what you want to see in a "concept car". "Tesla Model 3" isn't an MVP, it's a "Chromium 70.0.3538". The MVP for the Tesla was [in the 19th century](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Electric_\(1899_automobile\)), or [the AC Propulsion whose technology Tesla licensed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Propulsion_tzero), or possibly the [1966 GM Electrovair II](http://mycarquest.com/2013/04/1966-gm-electrovair-ii-electric-car-gm-could-have-been-the-world-leader-in-electric-car-technology.html).

Valve and Github– before the VCs used it as a Kleenex, and not for nasal purposes– had it figured out: open allocation. When projects compete for engineers, you get better projects. When engineers compete for projects, you get worse engineers. Agile Scrum is just there to humiliate people whose intelligence intimidates executive types– and they don't really need to be intimidated, because even though the programmers have individual intelligence, they are collectively stupid... which is why they answer to better-organized but dumber people.

I mean, you're describing Clippy. Clippy was the antipattern -- intrusive, unreliable and mostly useless. Even with the progress we've made, we're still pretty much in Clippy territory. I strongly suspect there's an uncanny valley-like phenomenon lurking here. Meaning, not until the assistant has a hit rate of 90% or more will we start trusting it enough to change OUR behavior and expectations to fully utilize it.

That's a really big statement "quality of life is much nicer and cheaper here", how on earth can you compare 2 massive areas like that. What are you comparing? London to New York? Or maybe some shitty UK northern town to San Francisco? I live in the UK, the taxes are high, 180 quid council tax a month on my 2 bed flat, 50 percent tax on all earnings over roughly 41k. 20 percent vat (sales tax). If it was feasible I'd definitely take a job in the states paying 4x what I earn currently get.

If you think a typeless parameter is "generic" then what is your problem with `interface{}`? It still accepts anything and can be queried at runtime for a specific type. You can ignore runtime type errors or panic on them (just like python). Not that I'm recommending this is a good thing, but it's no less generic than dynamic languages.

I’ve worked for places with no limits on vacation, but it was never billed as unlimited. It was described as “no hard limit, up to the bosses discretion” I usually never took more than 3 weeks in practice. I would never actually argue I am entitled to never ending vacation. I know full well what it means, I am just making a semantic argument on the internet. I think it is silly to call it unlimited, that’s all. Imagine if they offered unlimited salary...

Yeah, I'm confused about it as well. Saying that we use Kotlin at work and that I'm enjoying using Kotlin seems to really bother some Java developers even though I related it to the topic at hand. I used Java for a decade and enjoyed it as non of the alternatives were compelling enough to switch due to various reasons like tooling, interop, etc. Kotlin approached the market from a pragmatic perspective and even got the backing of Google. Since it addressed all my concerns, I just couldn't stay with Java knowing that something way better existed. I think Java will stick around for a long time similar to how banks still use Cobol.

I'm not saying that C needs replacement. I'm saying that when I learn new language I always compare it to C. I'm starting to think that people are too focused on making language around some feature. GC is nice but at the same time often devs stop worrying about memory. It's nice to have go routines but they are very basic and limited. It's nice to have "fire and forget" like PHP but then hardly any lib is able to work for extensive period of time. Then you have OOP, aspect programming any many other paradigms. For what?

I'd recommend taking a serious look at rust, and giving it a while to sink in. Rust is not built to be a simple language, but they have made great strides in the last year to be ergonomic and approachable. By design, the language aims to handle a lot of use cases, from writing operating systems to frontend web apps (seriously, it can compile to web assembly or to microcontrollers, it's not hard to imagine a situation where rust is running at every layer in the software stack). It has unique memory management, thread safety guarantees, efficiency, and a nice type system. You can also choose to skip the standard library, if you so desire, and with some of the latest features coming out, it'll be possible to have forever forwards compatible rust, even if the syntax changes radically. The core team is made up of the community, and focuses heavily on what the community wants. I really think that rust will be the C replacement, or at least a language heavily inspired by rust. It can just do so much more than C can with ease, while not sacrificing hardly any performance (or even being faster in some cases).

Bullshit. I wish people would stop spreading this shit. If your rent amounts to 30% of your monthly wage then you're still left over with even more money at the end of the month than a person with a lesser salary who still pays ~30% of their wage towards rent

I don' geddit. Go and Python have nothing to do with each other. Sure, Go was marketed to Python programmers, but I have no idea why other than that there are a lot of Pythonistas at Google.

While I agree that it is a problem, it hasn't ever hindered adoption of a language. Official C++ documentation doesn't have syntax highlighting either. It also costs money and is mostly meant for people who write compilers for the language. Java doesn't either. Python has the horrible interactive repl -format for most of the code examples which renders the code uncopyable. Yet all of the mentioned languages have a huge community around them.

US software developers are paid significantly more than software devs in London, which is one of the most expensive cities to live in the entire world. I formerly worked for a global company in Denver metro, and my salary at the time was $150k usd. I was curious one day and searched job postings for my same level within the company and I saw $85k in London and $65k in Frankfurt. Pretax, post currency conversion. $85k was the company's minimum US salary for just graduated 1st year software devs at the time, and that was the same salary they were paying for a mid-senior level in London, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

So to self organize, a team has to be organized to use Scrum? Dark or not, I don't buy it. (and yes certainly good-Scrum can yield better results than bad-something-else; I don't quite see what to do with that info, though)

Unlimited means no strict limits and no vague limits either, no limits at all. But it obviously does have vague limits, requesting 6 months off would probably be denied. There is always an unspoken limit.

If you go on Amazon and use the 'Look Inside' view, you can view the ToC. It goes into immense detail including historical context e.g., how the 486 changed since the 386, the NeXT platform, who the team was and what their tools were, then the software itself - all the low level stuff including problems they had to solve, the 2d and 3d renderers and how they did what they did, input, audio, networking, performance. It even goes on to describe the ports to different systems, bugs that were present, interviews, etc. This book could be considered the definitive work on DOOM.

Interfaces do not imply inheritance. Go could have used traits rather than structural typing and I think it would have been strictly better for the language. It would allow member functions to be namespaced off by what traits they actually apply to, and would prevent the (admittedly marginal) "accidental implementation" problem.

I browsed through the original paper discussed in the article and honestly I was a bit underwhelmed: >precision of 93.1% with a recall of 88.5% in residential areas and a precision of 93.7% with a recall of 90.5% in non-residential areas. I thought that the geometry and distinctive reflectance of solar panels would be easier to recognize by an advanced ML algorithm. I believe that the most interesting innovation of that paper is with the predictive solar deployment model, the image classification part is interesting but nothing ground-breaking.
