I've toyed with WASM, creating a simple sudoku page, and it did take an empty page, added all the buttons, and then changed them upon user interaction.
I think, I also heard of the DOM modification limitations, but it's not a hard barrier afaik, there are just some cases where it can't
But still, doing something in (pure) WASM looks way harder than needed to me
A language usually doesn't become worse with time, at least if the devs do a good job at improving it.
There are cases of new languages that looked better but didn't become mainstream because the ecosystem requires time to grow (and adoption, which creates a vicious cycle because adoption requires ecosystem to already be there)
Just for the sake of being contrary, I know that there are still machines running on punch cards in some army-related places, where not changing anything is mandatory. I wouldn't be surprised if hot-wiring is also still there somewhere, it's just mostly running without changes.
To this I completely agree, a lot of people don't want to use the tools for the benefit of the future colleagues or even self
And the blame has those commit messages. That is beside the fact that most authors may not even work there anymore
We're below reproduction rate in most parts of the world, and likely will fall below in the rest of the world during this century, so we're already in the 'find out' era :(
Maintainers, I guess, as in, the update that was rolled out, was broken for some users. But I don't know if that's the case here
But then someone will have to deal with it somewhere, better just unwrap it under the carpet.
it’s clear at this point already that Zig is a weakly-typed language
Uhm... pretty sure it isn't.
They seem to think any type inference makes for a weak typing, judging by their previous rant about auto in C++
So, yeah, author's views are a bit special, not sure this article will help me be better :(
Albeit true, I want to note that some languages encourage such practices way more than others do. Also, when you've got a hammer everything looks like a ~~string~~ nail.
