It would sure be helpful if they took some effort to focus less on adding crazy new stuff every 2 days and instead on maintaining older versions for a change.
Maintaining a python dependant system these days is an absolute nightmare, at least with C++ you know that new compilers will be backwards compatible, gah.
How does this feel with Python being dynamic? I always felt very uneasy writing Python precisely because if some random module became incompatible, especially via a transitive depndency, I might not find out until it was running in production.
Until your LTS OS gets to end of life and you need to switch to the next one which conveniently deprecates old python versions so you have to rewrite everything.
Why use system Python base environment for production stuff, especially knowing that it will EOL eventually and mayhem may follow? Again, pin your environments using conda, pipenv or whatever else, in which case your base Python version wouldn't matter.
Well if you're using ROS, you get to choose between the two extremes of C++ or Python. It would be great if everything was in C++ to be sure, but ain't nobody got time for that, especially not the cheap results-quickly company I work at.
What is "lobbying"? Lobbying is a process where subject-matter experts discuss policy with lawmakers. Lawmakers are not necessarily experts in 100% of topics, are they? So the industries have experts that lawmakers talk to. And of course, these industries make political contributions.
With no lobbyists, lawmakers are likely to be fairly clueless. With too much money and influence, lobbyists really call the shots, and Congress is basically subservient to them. There's a space in between where lawmakers are informed but don't owe lobbyists anything.
Lobbying isn't something that's not done I the EU or most european countries I'm aware of. Which countries are you referring to, which don't have lobbying?
Yes, as others have said, it's based on the same open source CMS.
I've created zig.news for people who want to write about Zig but who don't necessarily want to maintain their own blog and to the work necessary to publicize it.
This should hopefully help more people write down their experience and opinions on using Zig and alleviate the problem of having a "blogger aristocracy" who has a much stronger voice than anyone else.
