Mix it with TLS joke

This sounds like "Just read the TAOCP, then you could be a programmer".


This is wrong. In Computer Science language, human learning works in greedy way. We make locally optimal decisions in life. We cannot learn something in globally optimal way. We learn something in locally optimal way. And by repeating that we can reach somewhere at some point.


Here's my take on this - you should try to organize your local space of affordances and rewards in such a way that locally optimal choices will over time get you closer towards your global objective.


How can you ensure this if you don’t know where the global optimum is?


My impression is that most people don't have a global objective.


I absolutely agree with you

Is there any comment on Kotlin?


Kotlin succeeded precisely because it is its own language (though still interoperable with Java). If it were just a modified reimplementation of Java nobody would bother with it.


Kotlin succeeded because Google got in bed with Jetbrains for their IDE and programming language.

Without Google pushing Kotlin no matter what on Android, Kotlin would be yet another JVM guest language.
