I’m not the commenter you’re replying to, but IME with the recent models (like Opus 5.5, Fable, etc) - yes, still inadequate. As a sibling comment states, it’s average code. Which also makes complete sense. That bar is too low for me

It struck me that way as well, and I can’t put my finger on why

Am I in a postmodernism 101 class or something? No, reality begs to differ.

Sometimes things are easily and objectively worse than the alternatives.

Probably because there is no bio or name on this page and the author mentions their girlfriend. Seems an easy error to make

I’m not sure how to respond to this before I know if it’s satire or not?

mind defending that? I suspect that opinion would only come from one who took philosophy 101 and stopped there. If all you took was philosophy 101, this sounds a lot more reasonable and runs right into the point made by the pos you just responded to

In short, yes.

Why must every language have every feature, mass applicability, and be intended to be the language-to-end-all-languages? Growth or marketshare is not the only valuable aim.

If you want mutable data structures, I wouldn't point you to Haskell.

> I've dealt with many shitty code bases and the only way that worked for removing bugs was automation. It didn't matter how many bodies you threw at the problem.

Can't say my experience matches yours. Types do seem to structurally reduce some varieties of bugs, but ultimately the only reliable way I've seen to close the gap is hire disciplined people who care about, and thoughtfully consider, what they build.

E.g., the shittiest codebases I've ever seen were TypeScript. It in no way prevents you writing bugs or slop

That’s why “if” should just be an expression

I have quite literally never had to do Java interop in my Kotlin work. Do you have an example?

In contrast, your statement about F# strikes me as mostly true - albeit my interop was always the other way around (consuming F# code from C#).

This is overestimating the amount of effort involved to game on Linux, imo. It is true that there are a couple games using kernel-level anticheat which preclude their working on linux, but for the most part the effort required to play games on Linux now is zero if it's a Steam game and almost zero elsewhere.

KDE has been great for me on Fedora. What problems have you encountered?

I did the same on my gaming machine in early 2025 to get well ahead of the Win10 EOL. I installed Nobara and have been really happy with it.
