Are you building this for your own edification and education (both perfectly legitimate goals), or would you like to see other people use it (and to what extent)?
From a technical angle, lots of your stated goals and requirements are at odds with each other:
* You consider the fact it's written in C++98 to be important enough to highlight it in the project description, but why is that a good thing? Do you mean you're trying to take a C-with-classes approach to C++ development? Do you envision targeting old compilers with poor support for modern language features? (I'd be surprised, as your development environment setup instructions call for a modern toolchain.)
* Your rendering targets are D3D9 and OpenGL ES 3. Again, why the limitations? Windows has shipped with DX10 for over a decade now, and using DX9 just makes application distribution more difficult as you have to go out of your way to make sure the runtime is available. And you're planning iOS support, but I don't see any mention of Metal.

False | welicious | t2_3egmd | I agree that every worker out there should have a fair wage. I'm not one of those who go around telling people to make "better life choices" if they want to get a livable wage.
But I also believe there's a certain "US IT hub tax", which needs to be factored here. When I first arrived to the US, I rented a 2 bedroom apartment for an outrageous $2000 a month. It wasn't even a good area. The place was swarming with young professionals, though. Same goes for groceries and services in general. Seriously, $90 a month for a cell plan, haircuts at $30, and packs of beer for $10 are just a rip off, and don't let me start with healthcare costs, or any public service for that matter.
In contrast, my monthly expenses would be a fourth of that in the country I'm from, while I was making around 3 times less.
So from a global perspective, yes, it's despicable that the same professional makes way more, depending on the country he or she was born in. But contextually speaking, I feel a bit like many people wouldn't just want more money in exchange of quality of life.

But they are not ever getting paid the same as in Germany, or UK, and not to mention US. And most of them are doing outsourcing, working for the western market. I did work for american companies established here, until they decided to leave with the crisis ten years ago, and we got paid like 1/10 to 1/5 of what they would have to pay in the US.

False | matthieum | t2_5ij2c | You may be interested in combining two "features" of languages:
1. M:N threading or stackfull-coroutines, which let you write a complex asynchronous interaction as regular synchronous code; they obviate the need for a "complete" type.
2. Affine or Linear Types, which allow you to implement compile-time checked session types.
The first feature you probably know from Go, for example, where spawning one goroutine per connection is easily feasible.
The second feature can be found in Rust, and probably far less known, so I'll expand here. Rust has Affine Types, a value of an Affine Type can only be "used" once: this is often referred to as Move Semantics, however unlike C++ in Rust this is statically checked. The difference between Affine and Linear is that an Affine value *may* be used while a Linear value *must* be used.
With compile-time Move Semantics, you can implement state machines by using types for states and functions for transitions:
struct Closed;
struct Authenticated;
struct TcpEstablished;
fn no_auth(connection: Closed) -> Authenticated;
fn auth_with_password(username: String, password: String) -> Option<Authenticated>;
// ...
Affine and Linear types bring a few goodies to the table:
- Affine types: the machine cannot "time-travel" backward, as you cannot re-use an already used state.
- Linear types: the machine cannot end in a non-final state.
There is a trick to gain the benefits of Linear Types with just Affine Types: include an extraneous `Final` state which all final states must link to, and force the function handling the "session" to return this `Final` state. With proper accessibility (only the transitions of the state machine can create states beyond the initial one), obtaining the `Final` state is proof that a state machine was executed from beginning to end, add in the absence of time-travel/duplication of Affine Types and executing the function `fn execute(Initial, Stream<Events>) -> Final` is itself a proof that the execution went from `Initial` to `Final`.
The types composing such state machines are called *Session Types*. | null | 0 | 1545649194 | False | 0 | ecg952u | t3_a92arx | null | null | t3_a92arx | /r/programming/comments/a92arx/state_machines_and_the_strange_case_of_mutating/ecg952u/ | 1548010287 | 14 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | Vadoff | t2_4j4me | I don't agree that having poor code is fine. Usually the strategy depends on your business stage/scale/needs.
If it's still early on, a complete rewrite is probably best. If it's later stage, and you have a large business that depends on the legacy code, then it's best to just build features/services that interact with the legacy code instead (while refactoring the legacy slowly over time w/ lots of test coverage).
Almost every startup usually agrees though that it's best to not have the codebase decay into such a bad state in the first place. It's an order of magnitude easier/faster to work with a good codebase than a bad one, which is why companies are willing to dish out a ton of money for quality engineers. | null | 0 | 1544436457 | 1544436652 | 0 | ebhldpp | t3_a4n8jv | null | null | t1_ebhfkz5 | /r/programming/comments/a4n8jv/why_software_developers_are_paid_5x_more_in_the/ebhldpp/ | 1547425212 | 14 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

And that's one of the reasons performance of modern games suck. I am a C++ developer, please don't tell me about inferior languages and environments like Unity/C#/Java. I wouldn't touch those even with a 10-foot pole. I mean in the context of games, not in other domains where performance is not critical.

Qt also does the same thing via macros. It works, so why Jai is needed? what other cases are there? certainly not invoking methods through reflection.

edit: well maybe I should just use Electron. it has many additional useful features.. but looking into it it doesn't really seems geared to be a GUI for an application written in Cpp, it seems like you need to write the entire thing in js. | null | 0 | 1545650183 | 1545652577 | 0 | ecg9r21 | t3_a8vkzm | null | null | t3_a8vkzm | /r/programming/comments/a8vkzm/sciternode_as_an_alternative_to_electron/ecg9r21/ | 1548010560 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | Holston18 | t2_ex7bjge | Turbo Pascal was great in its day, but as it stands today there are better tools for learning programming. It had weird syntax requirements - e.g. it was single pass compilation so you can call method only if its declared above, you need to declare all variables in the beginning of the method (not where you need them), I vaguely remember it was quite picky about where you can and can't put semicolons. If you ran an application and it could not exit, then you had to kill the whole IDE and you lost your changes (solved by BP, but it was not as nice overall). While later versions had some OOP support, focus on structured programming was still the king.
Some of these are specific to TP, but that's what is typically being used in education for Pascal in my experience.
I'm not sure what's the best language for learning programming. JS is high on my list because it's pretty simple, has a lot of applicability for beginners (which increases the motivation) and everybody has a runtime (and partly development) environment in their browsers.

First off, you're claiming that this *is* practical without having any evidence of such yourself.
And no, you cannot use the fact that you're employed as a means of proof, nor can you use the amount of people following suite as a form of proof.
The trends in this industry have been shit, both with respect to businesses as well as the technologies they adopt...*especially* in the US.
You can only use positive results with data that actually supports it.
What defines positive: programmers with capacity to argue well, ability to apply real computer science fundamentals, who focus on meeting the bottom line in a way that's reliable and efficient, have a willingness to understand the problem domain, and are resiliant to making excuses to justify sloppy work.
Webshittism is like this delusional cult that somehow thinks they've found a kind of promised land...when in reality they've been scammed headfirst and led to a metaphorical slaughter.
Who scammed them? People with agendas. That's it.
Being a web programmer is fine. Enjoying it is fine. Accepting that you need to pay the bills is fine. Whatever.
But being delusional to the point of where you think that your domain is somehow going to take over every other area in this industry really *is* something else. As is defending objectively dumb policy (without proper backing), and thinking yourself as superior or more motivated

Apart from personal reasons (family and friends), living outside Europe is not tempting at all for most of my generation.
As a software developer you make a more than decent living anywhere in Western Europe. Life satisfaction is a much bigger goal than material wealth.
The things my friend was most happy about when returning to Europe are:
- being able to get around in public transport
- commute times
- food quality
- affordable housing of generally higher quality
- the amount of paid holidays
- cities with an amazing quality of life
- weekend breaks in a different culture are a two hours flight away
Call us spoilt, but Europe (Western Europe in particular) has done a much better job in catering to the needs of its people rather than its corporations in the last decades, with the effect that people think twice before they give up their European lifestyle for even a much higher salary.

False | fuckin_ziggurats | t2_cmam5 | Reads like it's written by someone who's only ever used Jira for tracking and thinks that it's in some way unique. Jira is just a reflection of the way things are done in enterprise. Scrum or some other form of process that seems to work on large projects. And what's my definition of "seems to work"? Is it speed of development? Prototyping? No. It's transparency. Jira keeps things transparent, to developers, to testers, to managers, and to stakeholders. Transparency is the most important thing in a project with a lot of collaborators. And Jira isn't unique. Azure DevOps does the same thing and is the #1 tool for enterprise .NET projects. You think if Jira didn't have all of those features companies wouldn't have just moved to a different tool that did? Jira does what the industry asks for.
>There is no whole. At best there is an “Epic” — but the whole point of an Epic is to be decomposed into smaller pieces to be worked on independently. JIRA encourages the disintegration of the macro vision.
The problem with the "macro vision" thing is that it's wrong. The only way to develop the exact product that your client needs is to go into the gritty details. Their vision will never pan out if you keep looking at the big picture. Also, proper estimation is what encourages disintegration. You can't properly estimate huge swaths of features, especially when they're not explained in detail by the client (as they never are), so this way of planning bit by bit forces the client to go into the details.
>Worst of all, though, is the endless implicit pressure for tickets to be marked finished, to be passed on to the next phase. Tickets, in the JIRA mindset, are taken on, focused on until complete, and then passed on, never to be seen again. They have a one-way lifecycle: specification; design; development; testing; release. Doesn’t that sound a little … um … waterfall-y?
Scrum is iterative waterfall. Every 2 to 4 weeks you go through the motions. It's great because you're adding value to your client every sprint and it occurs often enough that if they change their mind it's easy to switch direction - that's what agility is.
>Isn’t agile development supposed to be fundamentally different from waterfall development, rather than simply replacing one big waterfall with a thousand little ones?
Everyone seems to have this idea of what agile means but they never say what they mean. I wonder why. They only say what they hate about Scrum but never offer an alternative. Maybe your employers will start taking you seriously once you form an idea of what you actually want the development process to be like, instead of just shitting on the current one. Employers want complete transparency which is difficult to have with software. Transparency makes it easier for them to deal with the client and that's what Scrum and Jira provide.
>Now imagine that the city’s developers, engineers, and construction workers are asked to estimate and report progress purely in terms of how many neighborhoods and blocks have been fully completed, and how far along each one is. Does that strike you as a particularly effective model of urban planning? Suppose you began to build the city more organically, so that, at a certain significant point, you have a downtown full of a mix of temporary and permanent buildings; the skyscrapers’ foundations laid (i.e. technical uncertainty resolved); much of the core infrastructure built out; a few clusters of initial structures in the central neighborhoods, and shantytowns in the outskirts; a dirt airstrip where the airport will be; and traffic going back and forth among all these places. In other words, you have built a crude but functioning city-in-the-making, its skeleton constructed, ready to be fleshed out. Well done!
You are literally making an argument for waterfall here.
>But if measured by how many blocks and neighborhoods are absolutely finished, according to the urban planners’ artistic renditions, what is your progress? By that measure, your progress is zero.
It's not zero. It's a few, but functioning neighborhoods. You don't develop a 2 year project to be barely functioning throughout its whole development life. You develop it piece by piece, MVP style, so that the client has something production ready early on and after each Sprint. Let the big picture develop itself through time. You don't develop 15 half-features, you develop 5 production-ready features.
>“Implement the Upload button” says the ticket; so that is all that is done. The ticket does not explain that the larger goal of the Upload button is to let users back up their work
This shouldn't be a problem if everyone pays attention to the planning meetings. Jira is not a replacement for communicating with your colleagues, just a place where the team-agreed tasks are logged. Things don't go into Jira (or in a Sprint) unless the whole team completely understands them!
>it is a tool deeply ill-suited to be the map of a project’s overall vision or infrastructure, and it is never the source of truth — the source of truth is always the running code
I'm struggling to understand what this "overall vision" thing is. Is it the thing that the client described in a few sentences that will inevitably end up being completely different from what they actually wanted or what is actually useful?
And code is not a source of truth, it's an implementation detail. Are we ignoring the fact that we're not on a hackathon and that there are managers and stakeholders that need a clear picture of where things are at? Are we going to show them code?
We're not making Coca Cola ads, there's no grand vision. An application is an array of features and every time we persuade ourselves differently we stray away from what our clients need. What they need can't be described in a few paragraphs. | null | 0 | 1544437538 | 1544437803 | 0 | ebhlwh6 | t3_a4u5k5 | null | null | t3_a4u5k5 | /r/programming/comments/a4u5k5/jira_is_an_antipattern/ebhlwh6/ | 1547425443 | 18 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
