Apple's recently open-sourced Swift language takes off among developers and enjoys high demand among companies looking for talent to build apps. It's up a kagillion percent since a decade ago!

A grow of 600%...Let see...Like from 0.1 to 0.6? Wow!!!
(A word for recruiters/managers: Language does not matter!)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Demand is often high due to low cost of candidates.
Go where the money is, not the demand for code monkeys.

In the last 2 years Golang (or simply ‘Go’) has raised to the ranks of mainstream programming languages like Java, Python and C/C++. Did I miss the notice for "Compare some language to Java Day"?
In that case, I'll work on a post comparing Malbolge to Java (or that other odd language with the rude name)

Microsoft has today announced a new security service for Windows 10 enterprise users called “Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection” that aims to help detect, investigate and even respond to incoming cyber attacks on an enterprise network. It must be good - it hasn't been hacked yet

In a shift from the all-distractions-are-bad narrative, some research in cognitive psychology is revealing an unexpected bright side to having an easily distractible mind: People who are terrible at tuning out the nonsense around them also happen to be more highly creative than their more focused peers. Yeah, I'm kind of easily

Microsoft's chief legal officer reiterated his company's support for Apple when he spoke Tuesday at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. ... there's a cute little path there
And I'm not going to tell you the first blurb I thought of.

Writing functional code is often backwards and can feel more like solving puzzles than like explaining a process to the computer. That never stopped people from using JavaScript

That's quite insensitive.
Functional programs have feelings. Haskell is probably crying somewhere right now.

Have you ever tried it?
Functional languages will take your feelings and crush them.
Seriously, it'll leave you battered and bleeding and crying like a little baby.
Of course when you get past that point it can make for some nice and clean code

Your message has been marked for moderation since it actually makes sense.
We're not trying to make good points here. We are trying to slam functional programming.

No, it has less popularity because it applies to fewer situations. But when it does...

Some programmers prefer to use Rust, others go for Java but at the end of the day, both programming languages have highs and lows. Always pick the one that sounds like decay (but then again, it never sleeps)

You ever notice the only place that Rust is ever mentioned is in these Insider News bits?

|

Pretty much 
Someone must be using it? Maybe?

"Although Java’s GC is very optimized and makes programming rather painless, Rust has a zero-sized runtime, for some large values of zero. There is a runtime, but it consists of establishing landing pads for panics which can even be overridden." I find that a right strange passle o' mixed metaphors; I sure would like to have some zeroes with large values, though.

That is a rather corroded sentence.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Quote: In short, Java can benefit from profile-based optimizations which (in theory) allow better performance than compile-time optimized code for certain workloads.
That's pretty well the first time I've heard anyone claim that a JIT-compiled language, even "in theory" should be as fast as an ahead-of-time compiled language. It just allows the JIT-compiled language to approach the speed of ahead-of-time compiled languages.

You know, maybe plain ol' http isn't such a bad idea, given all the effort to attack https. Http is probably not even on the radar anymore.

We in the software development community like to think we’re special: that building software is uniquely difficult. "There is nothing in the programming field more despicable than an undocumented program."
