Phoronix: Fedora 37 Hopes To Have A Preview Of The New Web-Baased Install UI

The existing GTK-based Anaconda installer is to remain the default installation experience for Fedora 37 this autumn but a change proposal has been filed with hopes of having a public preview image for Anaconda's next-gen web-based interface for installations...

I am more or less fine with the idea of web-based interfaces, especially in case of an installer that needs to be run once. But I have an unexplainable fear of managing hard drive partitions with a language where [1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6] evaluates to "1,2,34,5,6" and [10, 1, 2].sort() results in [1, 10, 2].

you can create bugs in every language.

Is reading the documentation too much to ask for? That being the default sort also makes sense, as arrays can have items of different types, not just numbers.

I kinda wish it would just be Calamares because Calamares is fine and simple. Well, as long as it's simple and works well enough, I guess.

his point (which I completely share) is that there are languages (such as JS) where data types are not enforced and you might accidentaly end up with a scenario he desribes.
It has nothing to do with "reading the documentation".

I see this type of bug everyday where dynamic typed languages are used (luckily I care about my work and don't use such languages).

What language(s) do you use instead?

I find the openSUSE one to be extremely good. It's a bit corporate-y and a couple clicks more than e.g. EndeavourOS, but it's really nice and easy to use and provides a great setup.

lately I've been programming mostly in Java and Go
