Yes, I had to check and: > The UCS-2 and UTF-16 encodings use 16-bit code units. In these encodings, all characters are Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), and hence most characters that people use these days, are represented directly: a character is represented as one code unit. It represents the code number of the ch...

I agree, but most standard List implementations are not Doubly Linked, that's one of the things that makes Linux's implementation special. The other thing is the reduced memory- overhead / fragmentation / allocation compared to any alternatives I've seen.

It's a good introduction to random numbers, but you should be specific that it only works with such small periods in gaming. Anywhere where it matters, having a short period to your generator means that it can be determined very quickly how to predict the next state of the generator. Even in supremely large generators,...

Perhaps I am overlooking something, but I am not very impressed by what I see in Dart.

Delphi 3. Which I guess was 1997 (after java's initial development.) VB first had intellisense in 5.0 which was 1996. So both were not only after java's initial development (1991) but after its initial release (1995.)

I'm sure they do, but that doesn't help them decide when to show a code completion list. Without the hint that "new" provides you have to either always show the list when the spacebar is pressed or wait for some shortcut that means "open the list".

Have to be careful though, in defining 'correctness' as it can setup false dichotomies that choke your solution.

Syntax has a lot to do with how quickly the language can be compiled, however, which is a huge part of how "fast" the language is for JIT environments like web browsers. Initial parse/compilation speed is a huge issue, especially on mobile devices.

That sort of computation does not have any side effects. And that is exactly the point of that rule. You need to write expression that would evaluate correctly regardless of the evaluation order of individual terms. If order IS important, then you should be explicit about it, that's all.

They justify their decisions with "experience suggests that...", "it's more intuitive that...". In other words, we have no reason to design our language this way other than Bracha's wrongheadedness.

JavaScript *is* an object oriented language. There isn't just "one OO model to rule them all", in fact, there are several schools of thoughts on how object orientation should be expressed.
