Feel free, it’s still out there!
I still write more Perl than Python these days.
Still easier to refactor than Python. ;-)
For all of those, Lisp is the more logical choice. Plus, whitespace as syntax is the worst possible design decision.
Friends don’t let friends use a dark mode.
They have not.
OpenBSD seems to be able to have branches (CURRENT and STABLE), and they seem to be able to manage them just fine.
Yes, it is, because it does the job. Why exactly shouldn’t they?
A Windows zero-day vulnerability recently patched by Microsoft was exploited by hackers working on behalf of the North Korean government so they could install custom malware that’s exceptionally stealthy and advanced, researchers reported Monday.
I am always amazed at how easy it is for ‘security researchers’ to speculate about which government is solely responsible for exploiting security vulnerabilities.
The reactions are shocked enough.
SVN has become notably better over the past few years, but let me clarify that my comment was not meant as a reason to use SVN.
Not surprising me.
How is SVN “trash”?
I know. and there are many other ways to host your code. The current GitHub outage shows that most Git users just can’t live without a commercial entity stewarding their code though.
I realise that this is theoretically possible. But I don’t have a problem that I need to solve right now. Others, on the other hand, seem only too happy to make themselves dependent on monopolistic corporations.
I can see that.
You can make embarrassing mistakes in virtually any programming language that’s not too esoteric.
When I still used Python for prototyping (today, I usually use Go for that), it happened much too often that I did this:
if foo: bar() foobar() # syntax error
In Lisp, however, both errors are much harder to make (not even considering GNU Emacs’s superb auto-indentation - which is what most Lispers use these days, as far as I know):
