Why HN links it
Interview series with programming language and tool figures (Klabnik, Pike, Crockford, Matsumoto, Moolenaar). HN commenters link them as sources for quoted views on Rust, Go generics, JSON, and Vim.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 11 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
https://evrone.com/steve-klabnik-interview He's a core team member and responsible for making rust accessible to audiences that might not reach for rust first, (rubyists, etc.) he's responsible for creating a lot of top-notch documentation for Rust developers.

HN discussionThat jives with this article I found: https://evrone.com/rob-pike-interview > Rob: Although it's far from certain, after over a decade of work it looks like a design for parametric polymorphism, what is colloquially but misleadingly called generics, is coming in the next year or two. It was a very hard problem to find a design that works within the existing language and feels as if it belongs, but Ian Taylor investe…

HN discussion> Companies started to use it as an alternative to C and C++, while in reality it's an alternative to python. Just like in python a lot of the work and warnings are tied into the linter as a clear workaround. Our linter config has something like 70+ linters classes enabled, and we are a very small team. I thought the main "let's migrate our codebase to Go" crowd had always been from the Java folks, especially the en…

HN discussionI'm saddened by the news. Required reading: https://evrone.com/blog/bram-moolenaar-interview "Software development is much more of a craft. A craftsman uses whatever tools he thinks will get the best result, no matter if they are what everybody else is using or something different. And a good craftsman makes his own tools when needed" -B. Moolenar. As someone who had made vim is part of the development dna: Thank yo…

HN discussionThe explanation is actually simple: «Rob Pike doesn’t know what type theory is or why it is useful» Look at his latest statement on «generics» in Go: https://evrone.com/rob-pike-interview He acknowledges that parametric polymorphism is a good thing that Go is gonna get, but then repeats his ignorant view on types by conflating type theory with shitty OOP inheritance and class hierarchies.

HN discussionFrom another interview: >The best thing we can do today to JavaScript is to retire it. Twenty years ago, I was one of the few advocates for JavaScript. Its cobbling together of nested functions and dynamic objects was brilliant. I spent a decade trying to correct its flaws. I had a minor success with ES5. But since then, there has been strong interest in further bloating the language instead of making it better. So…

HN discussion> why invent PowerShell, why not just use ksh or bash? I’m a long time Unix dev so that was my first instinct. I tried and failed. There is a core architectural difference between Unix and Windows. Linux is a file-oriented OS and Windows is an API-oriented OS. In Linux, if you can modify a file and run a process, you can manage anything. That is why awk, sed, and grep are management tools. At the time, nothing on Wi…

HN discussionFirst of all - Linuxes and alike desperately need something like this shell becoming standard. And second - I always wonder how all these great minds who where throwing rubbish at Microsoft ever since... somehow forgot to mention that same company created important product called PowerShell like 20 years ago. And you know PowerShell is so good already you can easily drop it in any OS/X, Linux and it actually works.…

HN discussionI believe the Ruby designers have refused to add syntax for type hints, so they need to either be in comments on separate lines from the code itself or even in a separate file. They are therefore less ergonomic to use - but the increased separation from the code means that they are mostly used purely as (machine-verifiable) comments. On the other hand Python's type hints tend to be deeply intertwined with the code,…
