thanks to wasm any language is a browser running language.

Theoretically yes, practically you may have to deliver a whole runtime depending on the languagey making websites even bigger and slower to load initially. And unless it’s a webapp with data processing on the client the perceived performance benefits may be negligible.

At least in the future copilot could navigate you to the settings in the different places 😅

Maybe they see OP as the best candidate for an audit or code review, who has good enough skills, has time available, and is an internal resource

Can you give some examples of other tools for the job you’d rather use, which can be self hosted?

Keeping the clean version around seems dangerous advice.

You know it won’t get maintained if there are changes / fixes. So by the time someone may needs to rewrite the part, or application many years later (think migration to different language) it will be more confusing than helping.

Since the source is XML XSLT may work to transform it.

If it’s a microservice architecture using something like openapi and code generators could be a solution. Then the proper classes / types are created during the build step.

Does not avoid the fields being unused, or service B using an older version before being rebuild.

The approach would be similar as a library, but works across different languages while changing the definition only on one place.

That was a decade or two ago. Now you need a react SPA webapp using angular and Rust and utilize the bandwidth of the Cloud with machine learning. To find the IP.

You couldn’t find a gui designer for intellij, so you consider rewriting the whole application? in C++?!

Would seem easier to learn that ui framework.

For UI maybe look into javafx as an alternative. I haven’t used it, so can’t tell how the design process goes. But it seems to be the only current ui framework for Java.

Just because you got served bad food it does not mean you know how to make good food.

Why are you in programming related communities if you don’t enjoy it?

You wrote you want a full keyboard with F keys, arrow, and numpad - but it can be compact too.

What would be an example of that combination?

Try a backlit keyboard, especially for late night coding sessions. But that will likely conflict with the Bluetooth requirement. Does not have to be per key rgb; a fixed single color will be good enough.

Your first paragraph likely also applies to many senior software developers, especially if they primarily worked in small companies / freelance.

I’m aware, the halting problem is semi decideable - only positive instances of the problem can be decided.

Process.start(program, arguments)
Print(“it finished”)

It should not do that. Have you tried restarting it?

Oh it no longer starts? That’s an hardware issue. Let’s build another and see if the same error occurs.

A naive iterative implementation would be by adding and removing the folders/files from a list.

If tail call optimization works on the (recursive) example then that’s (kinda) the compiler turning a recursive function into a loop.

Easy access to small snippets of code you often need, but putting them in their own library would be crazy.

• Opening a file / db connection
• parsing xml/json/… ,
• template for unit tests,
• import and initialization of framework at work.

Depending on the IDE snippets can also move parts of the code around: (intellij live templates)

• variable.notnull -> if (variable != null) {… }
• “text %s”.format -> String.format(“text %s”,…)

Also bike shedding. Simple stuff may get many people willing to review / argue about how you should have used A over B, or even C

Big / complicated projects - forget it. Especially if if they would need major refactoring.
