    Was the hotel that bad or the city?

    Aaron Parecki
    I mean I'm not a huge fan of California suburbs in general, but there were so many things wrong with that hotel... the elevators were down for a whole day, hot water went out one morning, the sheets had weird red stains, etc etc. I really should post a proper review.

    @aaronpk Huh, that's a tough question. Functions and some kind of module-like construct as units of code reuse, and... I guess a syntax for comments?

    It's easier for me to list features I think other people might consider mandatory that I don't think are critical, like objects, or loops, or Turing-completeness 😁

    Or to list features I wish every language had but can't insist on, like type inference, sum types (aka "tagged unions"), and closures.

    @aaronpk should be easy to script in it, should be easy to scale up and write OOP code in it, shouldn't be Objective C or Java.

    Ok that was fun, thanks for all the responses! Lots of great stuff in there.

    Now take your favorite programming language and tell me the 3 things you most dislike about it.

    There are now two Flash Forward copy-cats out there, both claiming to have invented a brand new genre. One of them is super well funded. The other is about to make $$ on a Kickstarter. Watching people who wouldn't give me the time of day praise these new shows as "innovative" truly makes me want to find a new career.

    If I whittle down the things I dislike about Rust, ultimately it's that it has a young ecosystem that's a little bit too under resourced.

    I wish Python had multi-line lambdas (though I can't imagine a good syntax for them)

    I hate how complicated it is to bundle compiled C dependencies in Python packages

    I'm jealous of JS tagged template literals - f-strings aren't quite as good, they're missing the tags

  • Not sure where Apple is going with exclusive podcasts, but it’s probably nowhere good. By default I’m against any “podcast” that can’t play in multiple podcast apps because it erodes the openness of the ecosystem.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
