I've personally become pretty fond of the syntax and incorporation of FP features. In all fairness though, I haven't written much C or C++ for the last two decades.

Rust incorporates some of my favorite features from FP with handy green thread ergonomics. I'm not a fan of Go, so this gives me a great option for microservices when I can avoid Node.js.

Yep - I don't really know who these evangelists are either. I have read about "fearless concurrency," which seems pretty spot-on.

I enjoyed using a MBP for a few years, mostly for the trackpad. I eventually grew too annoyed with the desktop crashes and iCloud bloat though. I built a new Linux workstation last year, and it just feels like home 🐧.

Same!

Bless her heart.

I find the bit about believing the lies we're fed as somewhat naive. We're all on a journey, and everyone starts in a different place, with unique foundations.

My current opinions vary wildly from those held 20 years ago. Change is a good thing, and I think it should be expected as the norm.

They've heard that whole pot and kettle thing, right?

Yep - best of luck to them! They might want to try giving him large sums of money as well.

Thanks for the discussion. Just to restate - I absolutely believe everyone that the protests in which Bernie participated were described as violent. I was not disagreeing with this whatsoever.

You mention having "familiarity with all of this," and I do not. This is the only comment I read from Bernie about the protests.

I understand they were accused of being violent. The descriptions I read didn't seem violent though, although they might be inaccurately biased.

I think protesters will always be accused of violence whenever possible. I just don't understand how this makes Bernie's statement inconsistent.

If you're not interested in civil discourse, then we can end this discussion now.

I researched his arrest to learn what wasn't said in the images. Are you suggesting that resisting arrest is equivalent to violent rioting?
