I prefer safe AST based macro than runtime reflection like Go has. The latter is actually a cop-out, unlike the former in the context of type safety at compile time.

It exists and it's called bower.

Classical liberalism is considered right wing in Europe because most of the the classical liberals are also culturally conservative (against gay marriage ect...) and globalist. Although plenty of socialists are not that open either. It's just a weird mix and really depend on the situation of each countries.

The "far right" is also most of the time anti-liberal, and sometimes even adopt socialist stances on matters such as public administrations, anti-privatization, universal healthcare... while making immigration policies their first concern.

The politics of Europe and USA are very different at the national level. In Europe people change sides more often and there is room for a 3rd, 4th main party unlike the 2 party system in US.

And Ryan Air takes it to a whole new level. At least easy jet planes don't feel like they are going to break in the middle of the flight.

let's not pretend they don't try to rip customers off with hidden or gotcha fees, because they do. Their whole business model is based on bait+switch. You said they did "build trust" but at the same time you are saying " I know their procedures", of course, because if you are not careful you'll pay some bullshit fees. It's just one of the worst plane company in western Europe.

And they are not that cheap since their planes often only land not in main airports but ones in the middle of nowhere so you often have to add the cost of transport to your actual destination which is often not that cheap.

Yes but since I use Typescript static analysis as well: 2 birds, one stone.

Typescript also has support for js-doc style type declarations, at a basic level, IMHO it's less painful to use than Flow. Does Flow even has a compiler that doesn't rely on OCaml?

I advocated for nothing, if you read my message I'm not saying one system is better than the other. I'm just saying adopting the nordic model isn't going to work with a society with such a level of violence like the USA.

> People don't want to be criminals, they want to live, but they don't all know how.

Plenty of people want to make money the easiest way possible, and if it involves committing crimes like murdering people they'll do that. You are assuming everybody is like you and follow basic humanism. Well some don't.

Norway doesn't have a network of violent gangs sitting in their prisons.

> I'm not sure you can call the Canadian

Canada is mostly on the path to copy US when it comes to gang violence.

chicken and egg problem. I don't think US society was ever "not violent". It isn't more violent today than it was in the 80's at least.

The Nordic model works in Norway because of Norway's society and culture. It wouldn't work in US, or South Africa or El Salvador because of what level of violence is deemed acceptable in those countries.

You can try to transpose the Nordic model in US all you want it is not going to work because these are different societies bound by different civil contracts and cultures.

Plenty of societies and countries have a prison system that doesn't focus on rehabilitation,at all, yet the level of violence is still inferior to US by a long shot.

You don't educate developers to good practices just by abstracting the hard things. You don't need to use React/Angular/Whatever to manage state the right way in a front-end application. You don't need a framework to make code maintainable or testable, or you're just saying front-end developers are so incompetent and undisciplined they need a framework. No they don't, just like one doesn't need a framework like Rails or Spring or Django to write a server app.

> React/Angular/framework-whatever are glorious angels protecting us from the tyranny of half-baked, poorly thought out approaches to frontend development.

No they are not, they are making the developer ignorant of the underlying DOM architecture.

because it's purely a marketing concern, it means nothing from an architectural standpoint, it"s a buzzword, like 'cloud', 'nosql', 'web 2.0' or 'the blockchain'.

People should learn to write apps with the DOM, that's the framework to rule them all and it's already in the browser. There no need for a framework to write apps that follow the unidirectional dataflow principle. That principle just need to be taught, like MVC or SOLID.

lol, "do more ..." a browser that doesn't even support basic API like EventTarget or CustomEvent constructors. they learned nothing since IE debacle.

No, the compiler maybe, Action Script maybe, but not the player. The player is entirely closed source and there is no open spec for the player. Or you need to show it to me.

> there was more than just the Adobe Flash Player as implementations.

Only Adobe's implementation could run all swf files. Scaleform was not an alternative flash player. Any attempt at creating an alternative and feature complete flash player failed.

Flash the tech is not open, at all.

is supposed to be an implementation of the Flash VM in typescript, But it can't even run in latest Firefox browser anymore apparently and no commits from 2 years.

Not Adobe Edge was killed dead, it was not rolled into Adobe Animate. Edge did export animation with jQuery and DOM element, while Adobe Animate exports animations in pure canvas.

Not really. Action Script has always been close to Javascript/JScript.Net and now Typescript, it is the same syntax. In fact ActionScript 3 was supposed to be the template for ECMASCRIPT 4, before it was abandoned.
