Ask HN: Is there any programming language that doesn't have WTFs?

Hacker News - Mon, 04/21/2025 - 4:24pm

After reading this page:

https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython?tab=readme-ov-file#-needles-in-a-haystack-

I wonder if there's any language that thought about all edge cases and avoided exceptions and such gotchas at the design level.

JS is notorious for such WTFs but even Python—which I've used for over a decade now—has surprised me countless times.

Is Haskell also like that? How about Lisps (CL, Racket, Clojure, Scheme, etc.)?

Ask HN: Why were lengthy type‑in programs legal in the '80s?

Hacker News - Mon, 04/21/2025 - 3:41pm

Couldn’t governments have mandated that computer magazines include a disk with every program so readers wouldn’t have to type them in?

Hacker News - Mon, 04/21/2025 - 3:38pm

App Center CodePush is officially shut down.

For many developers, CodePush has become the de facto standard for managing OTA updates in React Native applications.

We at Revopush have been working hard over the last four months to build a platform that can reliably and with maximum compatibility help users migrate from App Center CodePush.

Our service has already delivered more than 30k updates to 40 million users this month alone.

Our goal is not only to support current users but also to continue developing the service. You can learn more about our roadmap here: https://revopush.org/react-native-code-push-client-new-archi...

At the moment, we offer:

Features

- Fully compatible with the existing CodePush SDK - Supports the latest React Native versions and the New Architecture - Multi-cloud architecture with a CDN for optimal delivery speed - A modern administration panel with team collaboration capabilities. - Affordable pricing starting at just $15 - Seamless integration with popular CI/CD platforms - Enhanced security and advanced analytics

Ask HN: Do you think Shopify has become too horizontal?

Hacker News - Mon, 04/21/2025 - 3:32pm

Shopify is for e-commerce. I believe we need more platforms that supports other verticals like logistics, healthcare etc. What do you feel?
