Also what about laws and governments ?
This is a very american perspective IMHO to miss this part of the picture.
Some stuff should be regulated. Especially post of FB/Twitter/ect that are actually provably false and whose diffusion are nothing but a carefully crafted op from a foreign country.
you could be concerned about over-regulation, but currently we are at the opposite side of the spectrum.
Asking FB/Twitter - or any company - to do the right thing and go against its own interest is simply naive.
Powerful doesn't mean fast. Python is quite slow but C++ is not powerful enough to make so many things usable without -comparatively- a lot of work.
C++ is very fast and entrenched in a few markets ( gamedev, trading, etc) but that's it. As a language it is quite average, encumbered by too many features, too many corner cases.
I am finishing a procedural generation pixel-art editor, aka you connect nodes to get a rectangles of colour. The cool part is the nodes you use are often other graphs also built with the tool. It is a bit like Houdini but for pixel-art.
It is close to be a niche but solid product. I can reproduce with it a reasonable amount of the pixel-art I see daily. I am currently writing the tutorials for it.
The underlying engine is a restricted functional language and the architecture is based on streams of values. I am quite proud of the architecture because so far, I had very little accidental complexity to manage and that's key for me to stay motivated/productive on the project.
This is false in my experience (more than 10y). Most teams use a linter and a formatter.
The situation is worse in any other language, except maybe golang.
I agree with you but this I am not sure it is the right example. In this case, the position of the zergs would be indirectly a component. You would have arrays of struct Zergs, each would only have a ref (or an index) to an arrays of positions. this array would be updated efficiently.
I think conflating data structures and objects is bad, and muddle the discussion. An app is mostly a pipeline of functions over an initial data structure.
SEEKING WORK - Location: Renaison, France / Remote
I am seasoned dev. Over the years, I have built quite a lot of apps from AAA games to small websites. Nowadays, I work mostly web technologies but I also work on a few 3D projects.
I have over 10 years of experience for the most common techs. I am currently learning Haskell because it's fun.

I am a former (startup) technical founder. Over the years, I have built quite a lot of app from AAA games to small websites. I have over 10 years of expérience with python, and over 5 years for the most common techs. I am currently learning Haskell because it's fun.
this is a bit disingenuous. the back-end technologies are quite stable and based on not-perfect-but-reasonable semantics. Django/SQLALchemy don't change that much.
Front-end on the other end is a mess. JS/HTML/CSS as tools are clearly unfit for the current needs.
you're not familiar with coffeescript and used to the many javascript warts, so your perspective is biased.
But Coffeescript makes many things easier and has good tooling (just another loader in webpack). While not perfect, It is a reasonnably efficient tool for front-end dev.
It is not forbidden, but it was condemned many times including for talk about concentration camps or jews. For a long time, it was borderline.
And It has a very dark history:
- During the Algeria war, its founder (JM Le Pen), then in the army, used torture.
- In the 90', the security force of the FN (Skinheads) killed a man (throwing him in the Seine).
Nowadays, its communication is way less agressive but it is the same core.
Currently, of its voters :
- 92% thinks there are too many non-white people in france
- 36% of its voters thinks some races are superior to others.
FN played its card well : it convinced many french that their current economic distress is caused by immigrants, Europe and anything coming from outside. Its political agenda is a big pile of fantasy about the France of 50' (powerful and white). And its economic program is laughable.
Well, that would be fun if it wasn't so serious and so sad.
Because from my point of view, it could be only the case only if the scopes are weak or underused, or names are bad (too short, ect).
After SSA is all about one-use names.
Maybe because his company (like google, etc) has a history of tax avoidance ? And paying tax is the first thing we do as good citizen.
Why believe a company like this ? Or the man at his head ? ( He has absolute control over FB so any decision made is under his control/responsibility. )
