The subjective experience of coding in different programming languages

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 09:31:14

Different programming languages feel viscerally different, right? I can’t be the only one. It’s so embodied. When I’m deep in multiple nested parentheses in a C-like language, even Python, I feel precarious, like I’m walking a high wire or balancing things in my hands and picking my way down steep stairs. It’s a relief to close the braces. Like if I’m trying to cover all the conditions in a complicated state machine or a conditional, I’m high up. I often hold my breath. Functional languages a

Rendezvous Robotics exits stealth with $3M to build reconfigurable space infrastructure

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-08 11:00:00

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time intensive and expensive. The International Space Station, the largest single object humanity has built in space, was assembled over dozens of launches and cost over $100 billion. And, of course, there is no way to modify or alter the structure once it has been assembled. Rendezvous Robotics wants to c
