C# has been adding new major language features all the time since its inception, including pretty much everything we are seeing being added to Java these days.
My experience with F* is several unsuccessful hours of trying to compile hello world thanks to a complete lack of instructions for configuration and installation.
I'm a new developer (an intern, actually). I just started writing a system that requires a couple secret strings. Currently I just have them as constants with my code, with the idea that I'll figure out something to do with them once I make sure everything is working.
What should I do with those secrets though? I'm not sure how to store them securely. So far I've been considering putting them in the server configuration so they can be read from environment variables, but that seems inconvenient for me and other developers and also not that much more secure.
Maybe software for specifically Linux is kinda KDE's whole thing. I'm just happy they go out of their way to package and test their code against other OSs in the first place.
I don't know about gevent, but stackless will work with any libraries in the same way CPython does, which makes sense given it's just a fork. Native extensions obviously won't benefit from stackless but still work with it.
Exceptions and threads don't mix well however, so using Stackless' microthreads with code that relies on exceptions will likely lead to slowdown, so there are a few things to be aware of.
