When I look at a programming language site, especially for a "new" language, I want a quick way to navigate to a reasonably sized decent code sample, ideally documented, showing of…

"Perhaps this explains why Odin has found such widespread usage and popularity. /s" What an unnecessarily snark and dismissive comment to make about someone's work. - I'd say withi…

Can't benefit from them patching a security issue, but don't suffer from - them breaking something - a supply chain attack - them making a change which breaks your program - you ha…

Makes sense, out of all the potential differentiators the source of skill attainment simply isn't the necessarily dominant one. Thanks for the answer :)

Since this thread, rightfully so (and in full agreement), has people complain about the bloat of today's software stack, is it only me in thinking there may be sincere potential pr…

Hope this doesn't come off as disrespectful, as in that I don't believe you, but out of personal interest, would you consider expanding on that? I'd love to hear about the particul…
