"found numerous examples of bloat and inefficiencies in Tan’s site code, and used a single (Anthropic) Claude session to review the files he downloaded from the website to confirm his observations"
1. I hope they never get hold of the code of MS Office or almost any other piece of real-world business software.
2. So anyone with claude access could arrive at the same conclusions ... and ask claude to fix it?
While I like the move, I think it could have come a few decades earlier and I'm stunned by the fact that this is Franc-only. When will Europe ever wake up?
Isn't Zig's repetitive ceremonial code around allocators+ allocation + defer *.deinit() a sign of a serious shortcoming like golang's error handling? If zig is so good at metaprogramming, why isn't there a metaprogramming solution to this repetitive code?
Or Microsoft could simply fund open source software since they provide a Linux subsystem to allow people to do proper work despite of them having to use windows
This isn't about compilation vs interpretation. R is simply badly designed as a programming language. This doesn't change just because its inventor wrote a book.
I know people who used Visual Basic for all of their programming. I'd say No either way unless people explained to me without bursting out into laughter that they also have extensive experience with, e.g., Kotlin, Rust, C#, Java etc. and still prefer VB or R for non-trivial programs.
