    I would not call it harm. The use of uring in higher level languages is definitely prone to errors, bugs and security problems

    You are getting this wrong. Basically the framework, like the Shield before, is the Commission trying to show "look, we fixed it". Sadly, for the previous two times, the ECJ pointe…

    Why would you owe them something if you already provided the code and docs?

    Can I recommend looking at what people studying Experts at work and how they manage to do better than they "should" be able to have found? There are tons of domains looking at this…

    There is work in progress in the high-level inquiry that should manage to produce most of it. Besides that, you can try to check the appeals court reports, which are not too bad.

    It happens to be even worse. Because we have no way to detect all the cases. A lot of the cases were handled in the "Post Office courts" (I don't remember the correct name, not a B…

    I recommend reading https://pressgazette.co.uk/news/post-office-horizon-it-scand... Private Eye definitely did a lot of work, but they were not the only ones, and multiple freelanc…

    Note that there are already some of this stuff in the compiler for AOT. Using these new specs for AOT optimisations is going to be a far taller problem than catching some of the er…

    Yes and that is what these analyzers do. The problem is that your space grow really fast and that your compilers are really not built to extract that information in a few ms. Even …

    If you are interested in writing down more of what problems you have with scripting languages, feel free to shout me an email. Should be in profile. I have been slowly working on a…

    yes but it is portable. On the lisps machine, you could not port to a different type of machine by another producer in general, even less across version. The Linux ABI is stable.

    One thing i think forgotten here, which actually is in the Worse is Better talk. But people tend to miss it. These ST and Lisps systems failed at another aspect. Reuse. The biggest…

    Promise yes. Reality on the ground is that there were governmental subsidies to implement them, so everyone got them. How much they actually help vs create problems is still an ope…

    Tbf, i was working at one at the time. Finding the space in the chassis for the battery and adapting it and suspension to the weight of an EV meant they had to develop platforms fo…

    Yeah a problem we were talking about a lot a few years back, before Starlink, was that SpaceX could not find enough market for the amount of launch they needed. Starlink has been t…

    Ecto documentation is definitely i think one of our weakest point. Which is great on one hand, because it means we are quite above the average stack in term of onboarding and doc. …

    I spent 6 months exploring the Haskell ecosystem for these. The answer is no. They are nowhere as easy. At the very least because their documentation is usually non existent or non…
