Comment Re: Rust or Go (Score 5, Interesting) 126

Google just launched Carbon, because they think Rust is just too hard to map to existing codebases. Carbon is a cleaner and safer C++ that compiles directly to the language 1:1. The TypeScript approach.

That said, Google uses Go for microservices and continues to invest in Rust for new embedded and high performance niches.

Traits are object oriented programming! Have you not used them? Class-based inheritance maps your problem onto a tree of parent and sibling classes for some weird reason. Traits let you declare that anything can provide a given behavior. It's not weird like class inheritance. dyn Trait or impl Trait give you the same type of dispatch you'd get with OO. Because it is OO.

YouTube music is shit.

I can't find songs by play count, ratings, or other dimensions or aggregations of dimensions.

Google Play Music had a sortable spreadsheet view. These new players like Spotify and YouTube Music are flashy and threadbare. They lack power. They're dumbed down for the masses that just want to tune into something and don't care to spend time curating.

Sadly it's easier to cater to the 99% who don't give a fuck than the 1% who are truly passionate. It's the problem of our time.

Fitbit? Really? That's where you draw the line? What about running Chrome and Android and directing people to Google search? What about ranking sites that display AdSense higher? What about Google AMP? What about taking over the HTML standard? What about removing the URL bar? What about removing AdBlock?
