It would be nice if pure benchmark papers were a thing. Most of the time system papers get accepted for some new idea. The evaluation section is often biased towards the new idea. Independent benchmarks could fix this.
I don't think i will be much of a problem. Braces are already optional in Scala2 if you only use a single expression. The change just gives you the option to be more consistent and remove braces everywhere.
If I rememver correctly, the python plugin for vscode asks me whether I trust the project before running anything. At least that was the case when I last opened a Jupyter notebook in vscode.
Since Go has no generics, it does not have datatypes like Sets, Maps (go has maps, but only supports a few types as keys), or Graphs. It also does not have immutable collections.
At first "mathy" objects seem not so important, but it also involves:
- Vectors, matrices
- Immutable containers (lists, sets, maps, etc.)
- Domain specific languages (regular expressions, constraint languages, etc.)
And without good support for matrices, the data science and ML people will just use Python instead of Java to build their libraries. And then everyone will use the language with the best libraries, even if they don't use matrix math in their code.
For regular expressions, you have to use a DSL embedded in Strings in Java instead of using operators like | as operator on regular expressions directly.
