And at that point you’ll also have a better idea of the problem and solution.
Mobile software engineer.
And at that point you’ll also have a better idea of the problem and solution.
If I was gonna make a suggestion, it would be to use some formatting tool such as black to make sure your code is styled in a standard way.
As much as I do like programming in Java, you have a good point.
Or anything that downloads code from an untrusted source…
So many websites out there are built on Django, Flask, etc. (YouTube must have spent a decade using Python, Instagram, Threads etc. all use Python and optimize as they need).
Mojo is surfing on the AI hype, so only time will tell whether it lives to fulfill the expectation.
Not having a standard library is what hindered JavaScript, mostly because of its origin as a browser language. The dev environment is already bad with many competing options that don’t always play nice together, now imagine that sort of problem even for the basic libraries.
Python quite often have more than one library to do the same thing, but they’re often extra niceties.
Benchmarks should be like a scientific paper: they should describe all the choices made and why for the configurations. At least that will show if the people doing it really understand what they’re comparing.
The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.
The problem is people are lazy and most places I’ve been, peoeple make bad commit messages and often very non informative.
Just as an example, I worked as a contractor with the biggest bank in Latin America before and basically all their server code is Java (with new code in Kotlin nowadays).
Although I already agreed to it from a users’ perspective (the more protectionist, the worse user experience), this article is very thought provoking.
Unless they play the Twitter/X card and only allow seeing Reddit if you’re logged in and limit the amount of requests one account can make…
it’s a great language if you need to develop fast like Python
I think what’s more relevant question here is what about the ecosystem? The language itself can be good, but can you create some category of software in it that is better/easier than alternatives? I suppose it would take a long time for it to have a framework as complete or well documented like Python’s Django or PHP’s Laravel etc.
When blogs or people in forums promote some less used language they often focus on some specific good thing and leave out the inconveniences and the big picture, so these are questions I’d ask before adopting a different programming language.
I have friends who work at the biggest bank in Latin America, where most backend stuff used to be Java. Nowadays all new code is written in Kotlin.
That’s a well designed compiler.
I’d like to know what is it doing to be more efficient.
This kind of thing can be easily automated nowadays. It’s not really a problem.
