This repository was created with the intention of helping developers master their concepts in JavaScript. It is not a requirement, but a guide for future studies. It is based on an article written by Stephen Curtis and you can read it here.

The most popular programming languages in 2024 (and what that even means)
We aggregated data from nine different rankings to produce the ZDNET Index of Programming Language Popularity. Here's which languages came out on top and what to make of this information.
Work in progress to add support for covariant return types to the .NET runtime. Soon we'll be able to override a virtual method returning `object` with a method returning `string`. Because of how array variance works, weird things might be possible in IL.
class Base
{
public virtual IntPtr[] Fun() => null;
}
// This is obvious pseude-code because C# won't let us introduce methods differing
// in return type. C# also requires to be explicit about "virtual" and "override".
// But IL... not so much.
class Derived : Base
{
// overrides Base.Fun on 32bit platforms.
public override uint[] Fun() => null;
// overrides Base.Fun on 64bit platforms.
public override ulong[] Fun() => null;
} 
Rust – the Ultimate Programming Language?
What makes a good programming language? Syntax? Compiler? Tools and ecosystem? It is tempting to say “all of that” but in that case, why there are so many different programming languages? All these components are very important but they alone can’t make the language “good”. One of essential things is the purpose — like languages for rapid development, or development of distributed algorithms, or general purpose for high-level and low-level applications, or easy to learn, or safe to use and so on.
During the past few weeks, Oracle sent a letter to Russian partners and customers comparing Oracle favorably to Postgres as a way of cirumventing a new law favoring Russian-produced software. This is the first direct attack I have seen on Postgres, and is probably representative of the kinds of attacks we will see from other vendors and in other countries in the years to come.

Always Encrypted is a new feature in SQL Server 2016, which encrypts the data both at rest *and* in motion (and keeps it encrypted in memory). So this protects the data from rogue administrators, backup thieves, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Unlike TDE, as well, Always Encrypted allows you to encrypt only certain columns, rather than the entire database.
These are the customer-reported issues addressed in 15.9.5:
- VSX1000: No enough information has been provided to MSBuild in order to establish a connection to a Remote Server.
- Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable for ARM64 is not available via visualstudio.com.
- VC Runtime Redistributable Update for VS 15.9 deletes Registry Key. This fix may have an increased chance of requiring a reboot of the machine in order to install an updated VC++ Redistributable package.
- Incorrect codegen in managed c++ with List to List assignment.
- Can't connect to mac build host after Visual Studio 15.9.4 update.
- Resource directories missed in incremental builds with
AndroidAarLibraryitems. - Lots of external assembly references - JNI ERROR (app bug): local reference table overflow (max=512).
- The Unity Editor has been updated to 2018.3. For more information, please visit the Unity website.
- SSDT: We enabled SQL projects to build schemas that have non-clustered columnstore indexes on an indexed views.
- SSDT: We fixed a significant performance issue in the schema compare tool when generating a script.
- SSDT: We fixed the schema drift detection logic in the schema compare tool which forced a new comparison to reenable scripting and publishing actions.
