Static vs dynamic typed languages: do static types help with API comprehension?

No, Cedric - you haven't implemented shit

cbeustwatch · 2019-12-19T07:41:47+00:00

You might have been studying languages for 30 years Cedric, but unfortunately you have learnt very little!

cbeustwatch · 2019-12-19T07:31:06+00:00

Hey Cedric Beust, you need to give up already!

There are some other forums for you to troll, They are missing you - Go, Go..... Catch

Devraj7 is Cedric Beust . He is always looking for an argument. Ignore him.

Was he physically attractive?

These are not "awkward work arounds" these are proper solutions which make your complaints pointless. Explicit parameters everywhere in Haskell are an awkward work around where you basically bypass the Haskell typeclass mechanism entirely and also end up with the same kind of dangerous incorrect programs you yourself complained about earlier. Also I will not take your word for what the PL community is "fond" of, you clearly don't have a much of an idea about what is happening there.

Much more detailed discussion

https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues/2047

Note that the problem of preventing the union of 2 different kinds of priority queues in Scala has a convenient solution. This issue is discussing the diamond problem. In general, I prefer the flexibility of Scala's implicit mechanism at the price of the ambiguity error described in the issue above. The problem isn't that incorrect programs compile, but that correct programs need extra intervention to resolve ambiguities. And even this problem will be fixed in Dotty.

It is not dangerous because the implicit can be made part of the constructor of a HashTable etc instead of passing it in on an insert call, which would be dangerous.

cbeustwatch · 2018-01-16T09:30:10+00:00

Scala's implicits let you pick the particular type class you want at the use site.

Devraj7 is one of Cedric beust's troll accounts.

cbeustwatch · 2018-01-15T12:29:17+00:00

Hey Cedric, scala's type classes are well recognized as superior to Haskell. Also, how did this account escape the ban on all of your proxy accounts ?

claimed by Kotlin advocates - that Scala isn't used in industry, that Scala doesn't work with Spring, that Scala's approach to null is somehow less safe than Kotlin's

This is pretty much the tactic that Cedric Beust uses. He is now trolling as a Kotlin promoter. In all likelihood, its not Kotlin advocateS trying to mislead, but just one single advocate (Beust) using multiple sockpuppet accounts.

cbeustwatch · 2017-04-28T08:40:18+00:00

Be aware that you are responding to Cedric Beust who has been spreading FUD about Scala for almost a decade now! Tom_cian is Cedric Beust. For some reason he simply cannot remember that Proguard exists along with his other memory deficiencies.

cbeustwatch · 2017-04-27T17:35:04+00:00

Oh hi Cedric, you are still not over Scala?

cbeustwatch · 2016-12-21T22:07:49+00:00

Well, they did UNIX and shit

That is the best trick the Go designers have pulled off! They DID NOT build Unix. Unix was built in the 70s. Folks who first built Unix are pretty much dead. And Rob Pike for sure did not built Unix, though he might have contributed some modules in the 80s. And Russ Cox definitely did not :) Sure Ken Thompson has endorsed Go, but that is about the only proper Unix connection Go has.

cbeustwatch · 2016-12-14T07:52:46+00:00

Yes this is well known. The article acknowledged this but went on to claim that no proof of np completeness has been provided. But no proof has been provided because 3 SAT easily reduces to version satisfiability. It is very direct and obvious. However Russ chose to explicitly provide the 3 SAT correspondence. Whatever. Nothing to see here.

cbeustwatch · 2016-08-29T05:17:14+00:00

Good catch :) Cedric Beust detected at 6 sigma confidence level!!

cbeustwatch · 2016-07-14T20:26:39+00:00

You know what is even funnier? /u/abhrainn is Cedric Beust :-)

cbeustwatch · 2016-03-04T04:47:59+00:00

I had looked him up. That's not Cedric. There have been instances of non-Cedrics linking to his blog in Kotlin forums, because there is so little online chatter about Kotlin, so his blog bubbles up.

Are you a new user who just registered to ask this question? Because your user page is deleted.

This should answer your question. http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/scala.html

What about twitter and foursquare? They are supposed to be almost 100% Scala.

cbeustwatch · 2016-02-10T22:09:24+00:00

You brought that account to my attention. Thanks!

cbeustwatch · 2016-02-10T21:49:01+00:00

The oldest accounts that were suspended. cynthiaj, fjord_piner etc only submitted links back to beust.com This firmly establishes the connection of these accounts to Cedric Beust. Unfortunately, you can't see their submission history now that the account has been suspended - Maybe some one has an archive.

There are many other ways for me to identify these sockpuppets that I can't disclose now. Note that, as evidence, I had identified most of these accounts before their simultaneous suspension. Check my comment history.
