No Java teams at my company have moved to Kotlin. There’s a is a shift of Scala -> Java, I think many people are scared of adopting a guest language again and modern Java with records, switch expressions, and sealed types isn’t bad enough to warrant the risk.

Scrolling barely works on iOS/Safari, quality i would expect from Anthropic.

Is it because bar is defined after foo?

I always try it every few years, but I can never figure out how to get a good ide experience. I’ve tried both VSCode and IntelliJ. I most recently tried to make it work for advent of code last year. Maybe I’m just too used to how good the IDE experience for Java is?

I think the Graal team was also trying to take a meta-interpreter approach like this too. For cases where you need to dynamically load bytecode or do reflection where native couldn't handle it they would try to interpret with their espresso java implementation.

smallest i've been able to get hotspot is 30mb with jlinking. But even graal native will still give you a few megabytes.

So like less than 1% of the time? What part of the JS ecosystem doesn’t depend on a mountain of untyped dependencies?

Welcome to moltnews. Everyone here is addicted.

I miss when this forum used to talk about computer science and programming languages.

and for Kotlin/Scala you can use some cheeky operator overloading via companion objects.

    sealed Interface A {
        class B: A
        class C: A
        companion object {
            operator fun invoke(s: String) = when (s) {
                "B" -> B()
                "C" -> C()
            }
        }
    }

    val a = A("B")

The paid version of the JDK is OpenJdk.

LLM code isn't allowed in OpenJdk.

Isn’t json processing still a dependency in Kotlin? I love the language but I don’t think it’s equivalent to built in json processing.

I really wish the JDK devs would start using constructors again. I understand why factory methods exist but everything these days is of/from/newInstance/something else. Dart/Scala/Kotlin have all really solved this with language features and construction is uniform. For example in Dart they have factory constructors: https://dart.dev/language/constructors#factory-constructors

Think this convinced me to move over.

Absolute another level of lazy if you need an LLM to git for you.

An attacker has access to your git??? You’re fucked. Give up.

Flags for Unix tools have never been friendly.

It makes plenty sense to be. There aren’t many negatives and there are plenty of workloads that would benefit.

You know they’re new.

Sounds like server imo.

It was ported for vibe reasons.

You don’t have to use these “tools”.

Any choice would have made obscene money in this market. It doesn’t make it a good choice.

I don’t think you would use Bun for front end.

LLM code has always been an abomination.

But if the segfaults are new that implies it’s from the LLM no?

I thought maintenance was free with LLMs???

You seem to be really hostile for no apparent reason. There are plenty of reasons to be generational, there are lots of workloads that the current implementation might fall flat if it wasn't.

Is the Go GC that special? Is it even generational yet?
