const

They don’t do it well, but an attempt was made.

To be fair, that’s an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

For those who, like me, have never heard of a .gitkeep file: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7229885/what-are-the-differences-between-gitignore-and-gitkeep

Why are we looking for new technologies?

Why are we writing new software? There’s plenty already.

Ok, but have they fixed the UI scaling on high-DPI displays?

But think of the illiterate people! /s

And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

So much this. Especially in a larger company it can be basically impossible to find the code that implements an endpoint, and of course even if you can find it you can’t trace it in a debugger.

Or against, depending on your cultural values.

For an application? Never. I’d still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.

The newer version is: https://w3c.github.io/openscreenprotocol/

I used to be on that team at Google and when I left they were working on an open source implementation of it.

Miracast is a separate, older protocol from what Chromecast uses.

I didn’t think you realize just how much code is written in JavaScript these days.

The voice chat app?

Everything in the video is considered acceptable in open source code today. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have been right there in the code for the person making the video to find it.

I’m old enough to remember when 4 of those 5 languages were the hot new thing. You’d have had me ignore them all and keep using C for everything. If I had done that I wouldn’t have even landed my first job.

Oh please. This comment has the same energy as Dave Chappelle doing a whole Netflix special about how he’s been cancelled.

There you go again flinging insults at anyone who disagrees with you.

Yeah, because the new tools are never actually better, right? If condescending luddites like you had your way we’d still be living in the literal stone age. At every step of the way, people like you have smugly said that the older, more established ways of doing things were good enough and new ways were just a fad that would die out.

Your favorite language was dismissed as fad when it was new. High level languages were a fad. Computing was a fad. Electricity was a fad. See a pattern?

Nice job projecting with the “only morons” bit, BTW, when it is in fact you who started off by denigrating people whose preferences are different from yours.
