ReScript 12 is here!

A major step toward a leaner, faster, simpler toolchain.

This release refines the language and embraces ReScript’s own identity.

Notes: github.com/rescript-lan...

Huge thanks to everyone who helped move ReScript forward.

so I did one advent of code day in C and I'm just finding more and more flags to pass the compiler - implicit conversions scary, or skill issue???

I assume it's out there but I've always thought representing mutation of variables as () when every other kind of error handling, IO, task, command, error, result whatever you name it has a nice type. Unit feels like a cop-out. What do fancier languages do?

I think things like unwrap, shadowing, unused variables and whatever "bad ideas" needs to exists because: programming is not only about the artifact we ship, it's about the road to that artifact. Using these provided bad ideas can make development much more pleasant.

PO: "We have KPIs to reach, put an `unwrap` there now!"

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

`./build.sh` works fine until it starts invoking Python then you know you are fucked

I feel very "computing from first principles" as I write Elm code which I compile to JavaScript which I run in a WebView in React Native wrapper which runs on an iOS or Android phone.

holy shit i have to stop using nix-darwin and home-manager but it's also so annoying to not use it aaaaaaaaaa

Nix fixes this but you will have new problems: Nix, Nix and Nix.

I downloaded an Objective-C Metal example from Apple and I feel like I can't program.

There's so much code that does... "nothing".

Maybe it's a bad habit but I seldom think about line numbers and things being above something else in a file. I navigate everything with goto definition, type definitions, symbols, search, project search etc. I know things by name not position.
