Well but now scala (what I knew and just kept running with) is getting native compiler, eventually iOS support, academic underlying calculus for the language, all kinds of good stuff.
I have a lot of respect for Lattner, obviously, but Swift has spent a LOT of goodwill that people were willing to spare it. Unless IBM pulls a really good thing out of their hat, I fear that swift might be in a perl6 position where they finally made a language worth a shit, but ran out of gas as they reached top speed.
I guess time will tell. I WANT swift to be awesome, but in order to make it a rational choice, I NEED swift to be stable, common, and approachable for new employees. (something scala can struggle with for some programmers)
It's really gonna bum me out when swift4 gets announced this spring (/s) and completely ruins everything, and then swift5 would of course be announced around the time swift4 becomes even remotely stable.
I thought about sitting down and learning swift, but they make breaking changed so often I really can't justify the time yet. I'm very curious what IBM comes up with, not sure yet why they're so interested in it other than LLVM.
Is there a place for tabletop gamers to organize? I've always wanted to get into it, but just not with the Doritos+MtnDew sort of people. A bunch of infosec professionals playing this game would be highly entertaining, I think.
Why would they? Do you have any idea how much money a vuln like that would be worth? You've threatened to kill people on twitter and you think someone would turn something like that over to the team out of charity?
You're delusional.
I've never seen a million-dollar exploit, but DAMN if this wouldn't be close.
Well that's what I'm saying. I mean I guess that rabbit hole goes all the way, even if Amazon brought their machines to me, there's still not a guarantee that it won't be stolen somehow.
There's no way to verify that this truck full of my corp's valuable data isn't stopped somewhere along the way and cloned and then driven to NSA or something.
