Readit NewsAll of these efforts to turn it into another Typescript are going to, in the end, kill the ease of use it has always had.
Nobody's talking about porting billions of lines of code, for all we know it's just for personal projects, or a learning experience.
This kind of replies is like killing an idea before it's even started, smells like the sunk cost fallacy.
OTOH I do understand the weight of a currently existing corpus in production, evidence is the ton of COBOL code still running. But still, your reply kind of sucks.
That said, anyone looking into a completely static typed language that has nice ergonomics, is easy to pick up but has enough depth to keep you busy for weeks on end, and is versatile enough to be used for anything, do yourself a favor and give Nim a try.
"Android-like touch screen UI with gestures"
Could have used also "IPad-like..." or "IPhone-like..." and it would have meant basically the same. Maybe author is more familiar with Android?
PS: What's with all the outrage manufacturing?
Governments that public force to kidnap, torture, murder, "disappear" their own citizens, are bad. Plenty of examples to go around, both historically and currently: China, Russia, México, North Korea, Belarus, the balcans, plenty of African governments, etc.
It shouldn't matter that "34% of my neighbors" want me sent to a concentration camp, personally I wouldn't want to end up there.
The example you're giving, the whole "it really depends on people's views, ..." is a bad government.
And the truth is that it's easy to be a good government: don't be bad.
Edit: fixed a word.
You don't use your muscles? They atrophy. You don't make an effort to travel without a gps regularily, to force your brain to remember your way around naturally? Your spatial memory atrophies and becomes useless [here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62877-0 ]
People don't need to learn math anymore, hence, no more calculus lessons? People are literally becoming idiots who can't calculate simple change at the cash register without pulling out their calculators.
It's exercise. It keeps the brain itself from atrophying. It stops you from becoming a "wetware LLM" that's just parroting whatever echo of a thought (natural or otherwise) goes through it.
For the [current] layperson, each of those things I mentioned I might as well be speaking in Martian.
