<p>Also what about laws and governments ? 
This is a very american  perspective IMHO to miss this part of the picture.<p>Some stuff should be regulated. Especially post of FB/Twitter/ect that are actually provably false and whose diffusion are nothing but a carefully crafted op from a foreign country.<p>you could be concerned about over-regulation, but currently we are at the opposite side of the spectrum.<p>Asking FB/Twitter - or any company - to do the right thing and go against its own interest is simply naive.</p>

<p>Powerful doesn't mean fast. Python is quite slow but C++ is not powerful enough to make so many things usable without -comparatively- a lot of work.<p>C++ is very fast and entrenched in a few markets ( gamedev, trading, etc) but that's it. As a <i>language</i> it is quite average, encumbered by too many features, too many corner cases.</p>

<p>I am finishing a procedural generation pixel-art editor, aka you connect nodes to get a rectangles of colour. The cool part is the nodes you use are often other graphs also built with the tool. It is a bit like Houdini but for pixel-art.<p>It is close to be a niche but solid product. I can reproduce with it a reasonable amount of the pixel-art I see daily. I am currently writing the tutorials for it.<p><a href="https://lbarret.itch.io/rectitude" rel="nofollow">https://lbarret.itch.io/rectitude</a><p>The underlying engine is a restricted functional language and the architecture is based on streams of values. I am quite proud of the architecture because so far, I had very little accidental complexity to manage and that's key for me to stay motivated/productive on the project.</p>

<p>This is false in my  experience (more than 10y). Most teams use a linter and a formatter. 
The situation is worse in any other language, except maybe golang.</p>

<p>I agree with you but this I am not sure it is the right example. In this case, the position of the zergs would be indirectly a component. You would have arrays of struct Zergs, each would only have a ref (or an index) to an arrays of positions. this array would be updated efficiently.</p>

<p>I have a sizeable project I have been working on and off for the last 2 years. It might be commercially viable but it won't make a lot of money.<p>A few weeks ago, a big corp approached me with an interesting job offer but AFAIK, they are not very tolerant for side-projects. I am wondering how to negociate with them on this.<p>A few things:
- My side project has no connection at all with the corp's market. 
- the position is in R&D, but the tech has nothing to do with my project.
- I have no problem stopping my other consulting activities.</p>

<p>this is a bit disingenuous. the back-end technologies are quite stable and based on not-perfect-but-reasonable semantics. Django/SQLALchemy don't change that much.<p>Front-end on the other end <i>is</i> a mess. JS/HTML/CSS as tools are clearly unfit for the current needs.</p>

<p>you're not familiar with coffeescript and used to the many javascript warts, so your perspective is biased.<p>But Coffeescript makes many things easier and has good tooling (just another loader in webpack). While not perfect, It is a reasonnably efficient tool for front-end dev.<p>Try a tutorial, you may be surprised.</p>

<p>It is not forbidden, but it was condemned many times including for talk about concentration camps or jews. For a long time, it was borderline.<p>And It has a very dark history:
- During the Algeria war, its founder (JM Le Pen), then in the army, used torture.
- In the 90', the security force of the FN (Skinheads) killed a man (throwing him in the Seine).<p>Nowadays, its communication is way less agressive but it is the same core.<p>Currently, of its voters :
- 92% thinks there are too many non-white people in france
- 36% of its voters thinks some races are superior to others.<p>FN played its card well : it convinced many french that their current economic distress is caused by immigrants, Europe and anything coming from outside. Its political agenda is a big pile of fantasy about the France of 50' (powerful and white). And its economic program is laughable.<p>Well, that would be fun if it wasn't so serious and so sad.</p>
