They are, but come at a high price resources-wise. And as I see it, the benefits accrue mostly to the developers, while the price is paid by users.
> more efficient to use web UI
I have absolutely no problem with using web technology for the UI. It's the bundling of a non-shared browsing engine (and a notoriously resource-hungry one at that) with what would otherwise be tiny apps that I consider a terrible anti-pattern.
The Pocket Casts app I have, for example, uses web-tech for its UI, but with a native wrapper, not Electron. It's under 20MB and uses ~60MB RAM.
This app, Notable, is 8x the size and uses 4x the RAM. Because Electron.
If Notable is the only Electron-based app I'm using, it's not an issue. But when lots of apps come with a few hundred MBs' unnecessary overhead, it quickly adds up to a significant problem. | null | 0 | 1545907883 | False | 0 | ecnddil | t3_a9tm4z | null | null | t1_ecnarnw | /r/programming/comments/a9tm4z/notable_the_markdownbased_notetaking_app_that/ecnddil/ | 1548130112 | 3 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | lookmeat | t2_35hrh | I would also argue that people assume that there's implicit but defined typing in the more controversial examples in simple bits of code. That is the idea is that types can be statically and implicitly defined in a piece of contiguous code (the general "line" that erases these implicit types would be functions).
So when people see the following code:
var x: Array(String) = ['a', 'b', 'c']
var y = x
They assume that there's an implicit assurance that `y: Array(String)`. Notice that I am not talking about doing this statically (though you would for the erasure systems) but instead I am assuming that the type is assigned when the line is interpreted (assuming that a dynamic gradually typed language may run a line before parsing the next one). So because we already know there's a variable `x` and we know it's type, we can assume that `y` is that type and fail earlier.
OTOH if we had the following piece of code:
var x: Array(String) = ['a', 'b', 'c']
f = function() { return x }
y = f()
Then we are only assured that `y:*` because the function itself doesn't specify the return type, and implementation details are that, implementation details that do not leak outside of the function (even if they bring external values). Indeed you could have a more explicitly (but still gradually typed) definition:
var x: Array(String) = ['a', 'b', 'c']
f = function(): Array { return x }
y = f()
Then the implicit typing is `y: Array`.
Of course the question opens up: should have `f` used the same type inference to try to guess the type of `x`? I think that in this simple example it would work fine, but in most practical (and still simple) examples it breaks down. I would argue that the implementation details of a function should be completely hidden, while the relationship between two variables in the same scope should allow more data. That is we can infer the types of variables, but not the types of a function's arguments or return.
The paper focuses only on the typing system, but not on implicit typing. The language used in the interview doesn't have, types are either explicitly defined, or assumed to be a fully dynamic one. It would be interested to do the same questions, but now also with three different levels of type inference: none, only variables getting explicitly typed values (from another variable or function) and finally variables getting explicitly typed values and functions. | null | 0 | 1544619216 | False | 0 | ebmlejs | t3_a5cejw | null | null | t1_ebma063 | /r/programming/comments/a5cejw/the_behavior_of_gradual_types_a_user_study/ebmlejs/ | 1547510596 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

If separate stacks benefit the developer at the cost of the user, it's up to the user who funds the product to decide.
In games, users are very, very conscious about speed but don't care so much about memory. --- edit: Unless they're on a 32-bit OS but we don't talk about the 32-bitters :-).
On the consumer desktop, I don't think very many non-technical users complain that much that Spotify (the first consumer electron app I could think of) was slow or bloated. Some do, but most just want it to look pretty and find all the music easily. They complain that they can't find their song, or the sound cuts out, or it has a stupid advert.
Most developers want an easy time building the app, and if it's social, they have to constantly evolve it to remain ahead of the competition.
I think the number of users with grouses about application memory usage is quite small, and limited to a subset of programmers. I think their complains at perfectly legitimate - using extra memory IS wasteful - but I'm not convinced there's enough to them to make it an anti-pattern. | null | 0 | 1545909641 | 1545909934 | 0 | ecnehp6 | t3_a9tm4z | null | null | t1_ecnddil | /r/programming/comments/a9tm4z/notable_the_markdownbased_notetaking_app_that/ecnehp6/ | 1548130637 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | lookmeat | t2_35hrh | > Sometimes for the junior roles you really do want code slingers because others are looking at the big picture.
I disagree. The way I see it the difference between junior and senior devs is that senior devs *understand* better when to look at the problem from outside. You should never assume that others are, and as a Junior some of my worst mistakes was assuming that others were looking at the big picture and do work that ended up being useless. When I started asking around and talking to people I found myself becoming that much "better" in the eyes of everyone.
Now I am not saying that a dev's job is to tell other people how to do their job. But it is to help create a solution, and to understand that giving a new tool will change the workflow, and it's in the benefit of everyone involved to talk about what that entails.

False | iuqwej | t2_wi614 | I have no experience with free pascal specifically, but with pascal in general. I hate it.
* "structured programming". It was supposed to be a alternative to goto hell, but in pratice it's the opposite of functional programming. Everything you do has to have a side-effect, as nothing is a expression. the result variable can be assigned multiple times, checked and overriden. The data flow in a idomatic pascal program is always opaque. This is huge disadvantage. (Yes, you can programm functional in pascal, but you really have to fight the language, so it's not such a good idea).
* You can't see if a variable is passed by value or by reference on the call site. This leads to inprentable data-flow, described above.
* You can't dinstuinguish between a (possibly side-effectfull, and in pascal everything has side-effects) procedure call and a variable on the callee site. Again, totally opaque.
* No immutables. Variables marked as constant are what other languages call "static". These are frowned upon in other languages, for a good reason, but this what you get in pascal.
* Most OOP languages have a GC. When you can't have one you can use a language like C++ that offers RAII and smart pointers. In pascal you get neither. You a combing the OOP-capabilities of java with the ease of use of OOP in C. Brilliant. In combination with exceptions this is a recipe for a disaster.
* Questionable standard library.

Not sure it's possible to prevent Rust's eventual collapse due to its own weight and its unmitigated complexity, given the speed at which new things are added with every minor version.
Language design is first and foremost a science of leaving things out, not adding as much as possible.
Not every feature that "improves" something is a good thing to add.

Sure, but games are an entirely different kind of application to chat apps or music apps or note-taking apps. Most particularly, nobody expects to be able to run a bunch of games at the same time, or much of anything else alongside the game. The opposite is true of most other kinds of applications.
> I don't think very many non-technical users complain that much that Spotify (the first consumer electron app I could think of) was slow or bloated.
Agreed. But like I said, it's not really an issue when it's just one or two apps.
It only becomes a problem when you need to run a whole bunch of Electron-based apps. And I think it's even worse when it's fairly simple apps, like chat/music/notes, doing it because the Electron overhead is 400%, not 20%.
> I think the number of users with grouses about memory usage is quite small, and limited to a subset of programmers.
I think there are a few reasons for that. Firstly, those of us who habitually moan about Electron usually aren't complaining about a specific app (this app, Notable, is pretty nice), but the way the platform itself works. We consider it an awful way to write apps, and that's not something a user would know or care about.
Secondly, Electron's bloat is primarily a *potential* problem. It only becomes a real problem when your disk is full because of all the copies of Chromium, or you run out of RAM and the machine starts swapping.
Finally, when resources are short because you have several copies of Chromium running thanks to Electron, it's may not obvious to the user that Electron is the cause of their problem. They just see that a bunch of apps are using a few hundred MBs of RAM and disk space each. They don't know that the apps could get by fine on 25% of the resources if they weren't written in such a ridiculously-inefficient way.
> I'm not convinced there's enough to them to make it an anti-pattern.
Not yet. But I'm looking at it from a Kantian perspective: what if everybody did it this way? And my answer is that it would totally fucking suck. That's why I called Electron an anti-pattern.

False | Veranova | t2_fz1lj | The typescript language server actually provides most of the benefits of a type system with plain JS, so there's a blurred distinction here, but as far as compile time checks go the data is not on the side of strong and static languages (and vice versa).
I happen to agree with you, I'd always rather have a type system and think it's superior in many ways, but I've done plenty of research and unfortunately can't support that point of view. All studies I've seen have shown the difference to be moot. Simpler code has a bigger impact on defect rate, so it's best to focus on writing simple code. | null | 0 | 1545912012 | False | 0 | ecnglhz | t3_a9q0uh | null | null | t1_ecnfy1x | /r/programming/comments/a9q0uh/write_code_that_is_easy_to_delete_not_easy_to/ecnglhz/ | 1548131632 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | noir_lord | t2_3655m | Delphi supplier full source code for every control (component) it came with so you could take an existing control and modify it changing it's behaviour.
The control properties editor was more powerful and intuitive, VCL components where written/described using code not XAML/XML - installing them was easy as well.
There was a thriving community of third party component authors with some really sophisticated ones, renaming things renamed the called methods (that's something that isn't at all reliable still in VS in my experience).
The standard library came with full source code which was clean and commented.
It output single 'static' binaries that could run on pretty much any win32 target as is (back then at least).
Compilation was near instant.
The gap has closed in recently VS2017 but Delphi was doing all this 18 years ago. | null | 0 | 1545912153 | False | 0 | ecngq0o | t3_a9om4e | null | null | t1_ecmqtfu | /r/programming/comments/a9om4e/theres_an_llvmbased_code_generator_in_the_works/ecngq0o/ | 1548131688 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | rfisher | t2_2dtv | The first problem is that every teacher, textbook, tutorial, etc. should point out that floating point is unintuitive from the first moment they introduce a floating point type. The normal approach of leaving out details until later is normally good, but this is one of those cases where you want to at least flag that there are important details that shouldn’t be ignored. That won’t solve the problem alone, but that’s the start.
Second, most programming languages need to offer friction-less alternatives. e.g. Fixed-point types, exact rationals, arbitrary precision types. (You shouldn’t have to go to a library or different syntax for such things.) If these were available and taught, there’d be less uninformed choice of floating point where something else is more appropriate. Of course, that’s a long road, but we need to travel it.
I’d also argue that there should never be implicit conversions between exact & inexact numbers. The programmer should always have to acknowledge that they wanted such a conversion.
