"I'm sure America will learn from this and elect responsible leaders in future."

Assuming you are not being sarcastic, I would expect actually the opposite.

"... the truth is that Ukraine is sovereign nation and has every right to decide their future..."

In all honesty, would you hold that argument if Mexico decides to host Russian or Chinese troops?

May I kindly suggest you organize your thoughts before posting?

"If you need to do OOP in C, it's time to move to a more powerful language."

As long as is not C++...

The author of this blog post uses the words engineer and engineering way too haphazardly. In my opinion, calling yourself engineer, when you are not a registered one, is a disservice to the actual engineers (that have to pass technical and ethical exams)

It's Colombia not Columbia

A joke:

Why there aren't any coup d'etats in the US?

Because in the US there isn't embassy of the US.

So, you like office politics. Enjoy the commute.

This is exactly the problem with Julia, to achieve those (soo much vaunted) c-like-speeds you need quite a few contortions.

"San Francisco Deputy Public Defender Doug Welch called in to the hearing to say his clients charged with shoplifting are not part of organized crime, but are homeless or struggling with substance abuse and need more services."

As if is not stealing if you are a druggie or homeless.

"... the language issues with some not so well worked out features should be fixed, instead of trying to please everyone."

This. For average programmers like myself, latest and fanciest language features are of little value. C++ and (unfortunately) D are in the same quest: to incorporate every programing language paradigm available, the extra complexity be damned. In the specific case of D, I'd rather have a good assortment of native D libraries than more bells and whistles added to the language.

You forgot to mention that a 'Hello World' standalone file is about 0.5 GB!

Indeed. The number of women in STEM fields is also low in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries compared to in-development ones. And, nobody in his/her right mind will accuse the Scandinavian countries of being patriarchal sexists societies.

I never thought of it but yes, "Love Me Do" and "She Loves You" are rather teenage girl songs.

Fortunately, we have "Helter Skelter".

If Africans decide to redraw their borders based on ethnic or tribal lines we would end up with hundreds of statelets (I am talking about black Africa).

Then Julia should stop describing itself as a general-purpose programming language.

I am sure I am not the only one but some of the illusions do not work for me, and some only work after reading the description. Does your brain needs to be trained to 'get' the illusion?

"So blame Europe for not successfully countering it rather than the US for knowing how to play the game."

Says the bully.

Title should be: GTK4 for Graphical User Interfaces with Nim

Great work! And thank you for making it available for everyone.

Did you also run tests against other libraries such as glib?

I think we should be careful when using the engineering term.

The author is writing specfically about software engineering but by by-passing the 'software' word in the title he is making a disservice to the real engineers (those professionals who have to go through a rather demanding set of requirements to be considered as such, e.g. mechanical, structural, chemical, etc).

We software developers love to be called engineers because it give us gravitas and status. But we fool ourselves and, most importantly the public, as our field is not regulated and it doesn't have a clear mandate nor ethical rules as the registered engineers.

Not quite. I use C to interact with scientific libraries and to do some image processing. I would like to learn and use Rust but is still lacking in the scientific libraries department. I avoid C++ because it's a nightmare of complexity.

The US has a long story of killings, torture and kidnappings in Latin America.

All things considered, dating is easy for women.

The GDAL library is a present from the gods to the geospatial community (well, Frank Warmerdam mostly). I read the parts of the source code a while ago and the C component was fairly readable. I had troubles following the C++ code. That's the beauty of C, even if you don't use it frequently, you can still read and write half-decent code with it.

Guess you mean Colombia.

Nim is a great general-purpose language I have been using lately for my numeric and data heavy processing needs.

Julia's overenthusiastic posts here in HN make me wary of the language instead of curious.

A lot of companies seem to have a poor understanding of what AI is.

Yes, this is true, but a lot of this poor understanding can be tracked down to the over-enthusiasm (and straight overselling speak, mind you) of most of the AI scientists.

The company I work for (mining) hired a top-notch AI guy to "change the fundaments of data management and processing in the company, using the latest AI technology". Guy left six months later... I still wonder why he lasted that long.

I don't hear too many complaints from C users. Perhaps because C never overpromised?

I understand C++ is messy because, back in the day, Stroustrup never say no to a request or suggestion from a potential user. He wanted his language to be widely used. Guess he succeeded.
