I really like this instance, so of course I'm 100% for the move

What is "funny" is that I had the maximum password size thing on several bank websites (and a low one, at that). Fortunately, with 2FA, it doesn't really matter I guess.

In my company, we use zenhub on top of github, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

I think you're right. I'm not an Apple fanboy (by far), but I'm very excited about that product for nomadic work purpose. I like to move a lot, and being able to work without having a desk or similar is incredible. I'm just a bit skeptical about a few points rn: that it isn't comfortable when the weather is hot, that the battery is bulky or doesn't last a day... but so far I've read everywhere that the tech is incredible.

The first article is funny, because I moved from my native country to the one right next to it, and everybody is confused by my name. They have one given name and 2 family names, while I have 4 first names, and a compound last name.

No need to travel to the other side of the planet to meet a different culture of naming.

While you're at it, with sum types, you can replace this stupid nil with an optional type. Also, you can replace the stupid error handling with an either/result type. Then you can add a keyword to return early if it's left/err. Then you have Swift or Rust.

You import from whatever packages you want, then you type your code. No need to create a whole project with a ton of shenanigans, a single file just works.

I've had the same experience with TS + deno. I always use that for prototyping, scrapping, etc. Great read.

I'd argue the macros are quite bad:

• Declarative macros are hard to read, same level as regex
• Procedural macros require to write a new crate with a ton of boilerplate, sometimes for stuff conceptually really simple (like hash is: apply the same function to every field, then compose the results)

I agree, though, that it's better there're here than nothing. It's just that there is to be a better solution.

For an IC, I think it's mainly about autonomy. The management don't want to be behind you. You get assigned a task, you ought to know how to handle it (including asking to the right persons) and to deliver it on time.

I think they just don't like cringe

Sorry for the late answer. Those days, I'm interested in Ante. The language creator has some novel ideas for a non-GC memory safe language. And the compiler is written in Rust. It's not finished at all tho.
