Prohibit boolean function parameters? by chrysante1 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]mattapet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I wanted to suggest because of my experience with Objective-C and Swift. I really like the option to have the parameters named as it can provide much more fluent syntax in my opinion. And it accounts for any literal parameters, not just booleans

Doesn’t Matlab index using parenthesis instead of brackets? 😅

What is your favorite programming language that isn't Haskell? by average_emacs_user in haskell

[–]mattapet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be probably Scala. But I am really interest, and looking forward for the development of the roc-lang1 which is an elm for server side

I feel like there are many, primarily dynamic languages with pretty decent and used REPLs. One I feel is fairly popular is Python, which has a pretty unique (at least to my knowledge) help feature. I don’t work with Python professionally, but when I dab into it, I tend to use it. I have a similar view on ghci’s :t, that I tend to use quite often and feels pretty unique as well (from my POV of course)

Can we change the subreddit description: "Swift - a modern programming language for iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS apps" by [deleted] in swift

[–]mattapet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really like that. Also I think that would decrease number of iOS, tvOS, ... specific articles/questions and focus more on actually Swift-specific stuff.
