Yes. It gives them leverage when working on standard specs. And it can lead to stagnation. The latter didn’t happen yet, but they already tried to push their agenda multiple times already.

Nix is amazing. I’m using nix btw 🤣 on my steam deck 😃

But did the front fell off?

Exactly what you’re looking for.

You’re the exception, not the majority. I think we can safely ASSume that 90% of people won’t do it. Sad reality…

It’s about having CC on file. He wants to create a mega app and needs to be able to charge users to do that. It’s that simple.

A fine example of whataboutism. We are talking about Russia not the USA.

Yes it was. Look at what they did to Chechnya. Was that Americans fault too?

By accepting countries that really wanted out from the genocidal boot of Russians? Yes.

Hallelujah!

and I mostly work on my own projects

Then your opinion is absolutely understandable.

It’s also frustrating b/c types don’t guarantee that the system does-the-thing, only that the type-system and compiler are happy, so it’s like pleasing the wrong boss, or some metaphor like that.

Types help you refactoring and communicating with other team members about expected inputs/outputs. Did you ever try debugging a number that should’ve been a string in a codebase that you didn’t write? Example from today: jsforce will throw an exception when you pass a number instead of string due to the fact that the Salesforce server will complain that the type is incorrect. If the method had correct typing of “string”, it would save me a few hours of debugging a huge library without visibility inside of it…

Have you heard about our lord and savior, TypeScript?

Quite a lot of IDEs will key you just click “add missing properties” action on the translation object to create a language file.

It’s also quite ready to transform this file to JSON and send it to translators through any service that supports his format.

If you are using TypeScript it’s quite easy to create a system where the type system will enforce the existence of all translations. I think it should be possible to create a similar solution for other languages as well.

For example:

const enTranslations = { MENU: ‘’ };

const plTranslations: typeof enTranslations = { MENU: ‘’ } as const;

const t = (key: keyof typeof enTranslations) => get language() == ‘pl’ ? plTranslations[key] : enTranslations[key];

Missing keys will fail compilation. If you want to skip check you can always use //@ts-ignore

Additionally the type system will enforce only valid translation keys so you won’t be able to make a typo it forget to add English translation.
