What's missing in this post – if meant for a reddit rather than OCaml-only audience — is a simple, clear explanation of what variance is. Subtyping is a (pre)order : we write `a ≤ b` if all elements of type `a` can also be used as elements of type `b` – by an implicit or explicit conversion to `b`. For example, an obj...

There really isn't a difference between a "real" application server and an "enhanced" Servlet container. At the end it are all a bunch of classes on a JVM. If the product passes the TCK for a certain profile it's an application server conforming to that profile, it's as simple as that.

You end up using a LOT more memory with stuff like Crinkler, which in the default configuration requires 100 MB of ram at runtime to decompress your executable using a variant of the PPDM algorithm. It's ok for demos though since they already use tons of mb for procedural content generation.

Speaking as a user of a language whose type system actually *is* sound, namely Haskell, this stuff just makes me groan.

AFAIK synchronization is not just about latency. Threads are actually stopped when they have to synchronize. For example reading and writing to the same memory from different threads (i.e. the flag) is very expensive. So more checkpoints will only make the problem worse. > Yep, I've noticed.

Very nice aesthetically. I particularly like the red and green candlesticks against the black and grey background -- it contrasts well without being jarring. I can't get the interaction to work in firefox (7.0.1). It works in chrome though well.

You say that Java's type system is unsound, so it is OK to make Dart's type system even more unsound. The examples you give just illustrate mistakes in Java's type system, so your justification is really "Java made mistake X, so lets make mistake 2*X in Dart". * Covariant arrays are widely regarded as a mistake. * Ca...

The problem is not that it sucks because it is not statically typed, the problem is that the static part of its type system sucks. If you're going to include an optional static type system, awesome, but do it right. The two most important problems are: * Generics are not all covariant, yet Dart pretends they are. For ...

So, I have my editor setup to show whitespace at the end of a line.

I agree that it's more impressive - much even. But Atrium was the game-changer. It was released at BP '08 and was WAAY better than the 4k that got second place. And from there on the 4k scene was different. Well, it's nothing to argue about though - just my opinion of the scene :)

Dart isn't the only language with optional type systems and others can be much better than Dart: In many cases, optional typing can end up looking like running the type checking in or outside of the compiler was nothing but an implementation detail.
