That's purely a problem of Rust being wrong.

Floats have a total order, Rust people just decided to not use it.

Stockholm syndrome. You know ... normal people in normal projects would just fix the bugs?

> Why is it a good thing that Elm doesn’t get frequent updates? First of all, it means your code will last a long time! It also means the language is very stable, because features are carefully thought out before being implemented.

What an absolute clown car.

> my memory from the pre 0.19 days of Elm tells me that this made for a worse experience overall

My memory tells me that 0.19 literally killed the language.

One way Scala experts deal with people disagreeing with them is to contact those peoples' employers/universities, maybe you should revise your profile accordingly.

Lol, OK. Spoken like a cultist. Bad news for you: It's not going to happen.

Have you ever re-read your posts and realized how incredibly whiny this all sounds?

Agreed.

Despite the author namedropping some other places, the whole piece is struggling to gain the validity it seeks due to pretending the US is the only country on earth and no one else could have figured out some solutions.

Also, the wrong use of "gerrymandering" makes me wonder how much the author actually knows about the topic.

Agreed. It gets even more crazier with int <-> float "casts" that silently change bits.

Coding in Java is outright ok, compared to Go.

Also, you should read the article, it mentions reactions like yours.
