fun repeat(str :: String, n :: Nat) :: List: [body] I may be over-sensitive to looks but... god why ? fun repeat(str: String, n: Nat): List = would be prettier. (I guess authors ha…

Fascinating broken-bot glitch, thank you. Reminds me of some sci-fi movies.

May the Gods be with him. The nostalgia is very strong. Opening Flash and start a new project was an immense source of joy to me in the 00's.

Thank you. This reading lowers my anxiety. I believe we'll rationally - and in a hurry - come down to this kind of solution. It makes solid sense.

That's it. Plus they would work neatly on old computers/phones.

I agree. Something componenty like Flash, yes. But it'd be easier to subset what already exists..

Oh they would care if one shows them much snappier versions of services they use. They just don't know better.

I am also doing this. Like you i guess I want a nicer C. I produce my own errors though because it's better for the user.

Naive question: would using such an OS bring some security by obscurity ?

You need two keywords. One for assignability and one for writability : const ptr; // can't reassign, can't write-through (if r/o by default) const mut ptr; // can write

> you don't need both a "const" keyword and a "mutable" keyword What if the lang has pointers? How express read-only?

It's important because we seem to be the only (visible) thing that can scheme .

I agree so much. For all we know yet, there's nothing out there. Nothing conscious or even sentient. So our lives and the life on earth are infinitely important. I never understood…

What if browsers supported a property like ? They would store the hash on first connection then verify on subsequent ones. I know this should be refined and hardened but you get th…

OK but I meant in already native code, like in a C program - no bytecode.

I often think this could maybe allow fantastic runtime optimisations. I realise this would be hardly debuggable but still..
