Every single new trendy language seems to want to be a web framework first and a programming language second, and seem to be designed by people who know how shitty existing web frameworks are but don't know what a well-designed programming language looks like.
On the contrary, every programmer should learn a new language every year. The catch is to ignore what employers think is trendy and pick one that will teach you something lasting and useful.
If you already know Haskell, try Coq. If you already know Smalltalk, try Erlang. And everyone should try writing 10k+ lines of Prolog some time.
So, this woman is a total bitch who takes photos of their homes people list on Zillow and use them to make fun of the home owners because she personally finds large cookie cutter homes tasteless.
Kate Wagner is an architecture graduate student who teaches about good architecture partly by critiquing and parodying bad architecture. (And partly by publishing essays about the history of architecture and design.)
There needs to be a lot more of this in other fields of study. You can't learn about good stuff just by looking at the good stuff. Every programmer knows this: You learn so much about good programming by having to maintain shitty code.
It's more likely that Zillow wrote a cease and desist to cover their asses just in case the actual copyright holders tried to put set the lawyers on them.
It sucks, but it's a fact of life that people will sue you if you are not seen to have tried something. Even something mind-blowingly stupid.
One thing that a good chiropractor will do for you that a massage therapist typically won't (in my experience) is provide wellness counseling in the form of stretches and exercises you can do to speed along the healing process and behavioral changes to keep the pain away once it's gone.
So what you're saying is that your chiropractor practises unlicensed physiotherapy as well as unlicensed massage therapy?
Point taken. There is a hand-curated C binding to the Objective-C object model. It's inconvenient but possible, and there's still a large impedance mismatch.
You don't realize that you can call external libraries from any language... do you?
You can also use a motorbike as a moving van by hooking a trailer up to it.
In practice, using most libraries in most languages requires a layer of glue. The bigger the impedance mismatch between the library and the language, the thicker the layer of glue.
Objective-C is a case in point. It's a more "object oriented" language than Java or C++, since it is more serious about late-binding. That makes it difficult to do a direct translation of an Obj-C API into C++. It's even worse in Java, which only provides native support for C.
Generally speaking, modern libraries designed for use in lots of languages are either written in C with a pure C API with other language bindings implemented on top of this, or provide a hand-curated C API sitting on top of the "native" API.
Like green energy subsidies to prevent green projects from going broke.
Haha, let me introduce you to the fiasco that is the Carmichael Mine, also known as the Adani Coal Mine. I don't know how things work in the US, but in Australia, the industry needs government assistance to dig up coal that nobody wants.

You could have said that Objective-C lost all relevance when NeXT imploded. That would have at least been funny.
Web languages don't live long
FTFY

Just because a language has existed for a long time doesn't mean that it's ever been the right tool for a critical mass of tasks.
Hell, Object Pascal is still being used for new projects.

Perl is like Python, only less stupid and more compatible with itself.

Obligatory.
In the post-Reagan era, most voters aren't happy most of the time.
Just as happy as the Garry Johnson voters, I'm sure.

There's a difference between "osteopath" and "osteopathic physician". It's confusing, I know.
No atheist deliberately becomes a priest, [...]
That's only because Unitarians prefer the term "minister".
There are two things called "osteopathy". One is somewhat evidence-based and the other is not.
In the United States, you want to see an "osteopathic physician", not an "osteopath".
I just use health packs. They cure everything, including demon fire injuries.

Ok? And that has stopped countless game developers from using OpenGL on macOS... when?
Just in case I didn't make this clear, you can indeed use C libraries in almost any other language.
The converse is not true. See DirectX and Cocoa for further details.

Vulkan is the way forward.
Have you actually read the Vulkan spec?
For what it's worth, I agree that recycling books is better.
Don't get me started on flag burning. If the flag is a natural fibre (hemp), that's one thing, but synthetic flags are technically fossil fuels.
Their other money spinner was The Simpsons, which is now on pay TV.
I believe they still make a bit of money selling Neighbours to the UK.

Is this really so surprising?
It's surprising that it took so long to (probably) find an actual experimental break in the standard model.
Burning books is biomass fuel. Perfectly fine as long as the trees were sustainably harvested.
You will be modded to -1, as you should be, because you did not provide evidence for your claims.
Uhm... no. Even though it would be nice to have, there is currently no "-1, Pseudoscientific ideologue" moderation control.
"Offtopic" and "Troll" are both available, and neither of them care whether you provided evidence for your claims or not.
