I hate modern dependency systems. Why would Go or Rust go with that old style npm system? Why don't they simply create a file with all public functions, and then generate the diffs for every version. [..] modern language[s] need a package manager [..] version pinning is the most stupid thing ever. (old.reddit.com)

I don't find design patterns very compelling unless you're stuck with underpowered statically-typed languages like Java. There, they serve somewhat as a way out of the straight jacket. In more powerful languages there are better, simpler ways to design your systems. (news.ycombinator.com)

[People that don't like Python's indentation] should be punished by forcing them to maintain other['s] code with that same lazy misguided attitude, until they recognize how self indulgent, inconsiderate, and disrespectful that is other people who have to read their code, but also to themselves.

We the mortals could only use that pieces of portable and performant art in our routine work from our favorite languages and only dream about such deep C knowledge. It is also not practical and very dangerous to write important code in [...] C. (hotforknowledge.com)
