That's what I thought too, that's I say the word is missing.

Not quite, I think the title should contain the word "machine".

Ah, Parrot VM. Brings flashbacks of the dynamic typing bubble.

No offense unitypers, maybe your typing systems have valid use-cases, I'm not sure. I'd like you to convince me if possible.

EDIT: Using slightly less off-putting language. I truly welcome arguments, even sound opinions.

I'm sorry if I prematurely judged your effort, but you shouldn't expect people to read between the lines in a wall of text

Google should have innovated or they should have complied. Instead they built on POSIX's shoulders and then diverged only enough to harm portability. Not cool.

The one guarded by lizard people?

I'm pro-hypertext, but this looks like web tech for web tech's sake. Their demo is literally an animated cursor.

Maybe war on drugs opponents downvoted what they interpreted as sarcasm

Good question.

For networking, Kitura uses Kitura-net, which uses BlueSocket, which in turn uses C library's sockets[1]. On GNU/Linux, this is the GNU C Library, for which a package (Glibc) is provided by the Swift port[2].

For asynchrony they seem to be using libdispatch despite it being "early in the development"[3], but I've also noticed they're wrapping epoll and curl (see 1.B again), so it's hard to gauge the real extent of the hack.

No networking OR file system access in the free implementation.

You'd be hard pressed to find a Swift project that doesn't depend on Apple's proprietary Foundation because Swift needs it to talk to the world!

I don't understand what IBM is thinking.

They should finish the free Foundation implementation[1] already which is the true standard library. Swift is not very useful without it, and they're talking about 4.0. It seems like Apple's giving their minimum to the community

The issue is having to go through that other language. So your problem is JavaScript's monopoly, right?

I'd like to bring up another thing for which this is relevant: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Mobile

Here's hoping for cross-platform development without JavaScript.

Under drinkjuice's reply to akmittal yes, that's the one comment I'm referring to. But one does not "so much" make.

One hour after you've posted this comment, I went through every single comment in the thread and found 1 (one) negative comment about Opera. Considering that, wouldn't you say it's fair to say that your comment is bait?

Nobody showed an interest, but I've found an article which covers all of what I wanted to cover and since it costs me very little to post it, here's the link: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WhatNETDevelopersOughtToKnowTo...

The first problem is that .NET Standard is not a specification in a traditional sense: "The official spec is a set of .cs files that define the APIs that are part of the standard." [0]

If you're new to the .NET ecosystem and you try to dig deeper, you find yourself having to understand more and more things: .NET Core, project.json (dependencies, frameworks, imports), vNext, portable class library, PCL profiles, CLI implementations etc, all the while battling misinformation, confusion and terrible proprietary tools, should you chose (or be forced to!) use them.

It took me about two weeks to finally wrap my head around the ecosystem in an effort to build a ".NET Standard library"(not a standard library) with a few dependencies and use it in a non-trivial Xamarin project. Let me know if you'd like me to share.

s/ sounds so seriously standardy: https://xkcd.com/927/

Why wasn't Talos on the front page? Were you too busy seeing what's new in the world of locked-down gadgets, HN?

Unfortunately __typeof__ is non-standard. Despite its usefulness it always gets left out of the standard (and with weird excuses, I think last time it was lack of implementations - despite the fact that eg. both GCC and LLVM implement it).

Interestingly, C11 defines _Generic selection, a kind of a switch for types, but its usefulness is hindered by the fact that it cannot be used in conjunction with sizeof.

With that description, I hope street cred

That seems like a stretch to me, maybe expound on what you implied by "more".

You're not telling me what is against the rules. What rules am I breaking by continuing to talk with you that you're not?

Why do you think I should not "do this" on HN?

I was meaning to ask you about that "here" from your original context. Because I suspect your "somewhere else" to be out of sight and out of mind.

What does that mean? Surely that is not the site owner's history?

I disagree that my comment was uncivil and without substance. My question is honest. My provocation is meant for the soul. I am sorry for not being kind.

What, speaking my mind as a theist?

Some people use the same logic to argue that homosexuality is implied by the biblical verse Luke 17:34 (also incorrectly interpreted as "rupture").

The BBC article claims Croatia doesn't want the land because claiming it would validate Serbia's interpretation of the borders leaving Croatia with less land over all.

I can't find the relevance of years 1974 and 1990 in the wikipedia article[1]. The article describes a long-standing dispute last addressed in 1948. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia–Serbia_border_disput...
