I think the job of causing major harm to humanity is still safely in the hands of humans for a while yet.

"We have syntax macros at home"

Hugged to death it seems. They should put up a proxy that gives you a busy signal.

TypeScript playground does effectively the same thing for shared links, though it doesn't live-update as you type.

No takers for NIS?

Protected and private inheritance are C++'s equivalent to traits, and they don't suffer from the usual issues of multiple inheritance. As for type classes, check out concepts. By no means am I trying to sell C++, I don't touch it myself, but it doesn't leave you completely adrift in those seas.

How so? Maybe in a COM-like world where the user of an object needs to call a method to get an interface pointer.

I’ll grant that concepts are a massive improvement.

In the sense of supporting mixins that don't necessarily pollute your public API. The overlap with other languages isn't perfect, and traits in the stdlib refer to a rather different template-based thing, but I don't think any language has the monopoly on a canon definition of traits. Certainly they're going to be different than traits in Self, which iirc coined the term.

When you have recursive data structures, it's nice when the algorithms have the same shape. TCO is also handy when you're writing fancy control flow operations and implement them with continuation-passing style.

Pretty sure just one day would do it for us. Maybe it's Omicronian metric degrees and they're really precise?

One area where Maria lags significantly is JSON support. In MariaDB, JSON is just an alias for LONGTEXT plus validation: https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/data-types/string-...

And on a similar naming note yet totally unrelated, check out k9s, which is a TUI for Kubernetes cluster admin. All kinds of nifty features built-in, and highly customizable.

If we're talking about CLIs, check out Kamal, the build system that 37signals / Basecamp / DHH developed, specifically to move off the cloud. I think it uses Kubernetes but not positive, it might just be Docker.

It's just Docker - it SSH's in to the target servers and runs `docker` commands as needed.
