If you've worked with JavaScript long enough, you've likely run into type-related issues. For instance, you might have accidentally converted a value from an integer to a string: JavaScript > console.log("User's cart value:", "500" + 100) [Log] User's cart value: "500100" No big deal, right? A seemingly innocent error can become a problem if it resides in, say, your application's billing code. And with JavaScript increasingly being used in critical services, such a scenario is likely to happen in real life. Luckily, database tools like Prisma deliver type safety in the database access layer for your JavaScript projects.

Google Slides is a great web-based, free platform for creating presentations (and collaborating as you do so). There are plenty of pre-made default templates available, but they can only so so far -- many are quite simple, and lack polished aesthetics.

Like many other Android developers, my initial foray into testing on the platform lead me to be immediately confronted with a demoralizing degree of jargon. Further, what few examples I came across at the time (circa 2015) did not present practical use cases which may have inclined me to think that the cost to benefit ratio of learning a tool like Espresso in order to verify that a TextView.setText(…) was working properly, was a reasonable investment.

Functional programming (FP) is, today, roughly where object-oriented programming (OOP) was in the late 1990s. Pure FP languages are gaining popularity, and mainstream languages increasingly support FP idioms. There are some application domains where FP has already become the dominant paradigm - scientific computing, big data, some fin-tech - but there are also substantial application domains where FP has made little impact, one such being transactional enterprise applications built on relational databases. Granted, this is no longer considered to be the 'hot' end of systems development, but it still accounts for a huge proportion of commercial programming. Developers working on such systems today might use functional idioms where they can, but it is rare to see one built using FP as the core design ethic. This situation might be attributed to traditional conservatism in that sector, but I believe there is a bigger issue, which derives from the central conundrum of FP, elegantly articulated by Simon Peyton Jones (lead on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler):
