This comparison is laughable and ignorant.

So Go was designed for toddlers?

I worked for a company where the founder thought everybody should use the same tools (meaning the tools he used: OpenSuse, KDE, VSCode, etc...) so that we can help each other and, …

A garbage collector of obviously lack of magic.

That's what they tell you.

I'm not sure I follow. The Forth stack is not like the C stack.

Could be. I don't know which one came first.

strtok is there for things like and similar to /etc/hosts and /etc/fstab

VS Code takes ~6 seconds from clicking its icon to having its window show up. On an 8th-gen Intel i7 with an SSD. Yes Electron has abysmal performance.

Can someone explain why this is better than branch, commit and rebase from master if needed, then submit the pull request?

When you search in the API documentation, you will find 3 tabs at the top: "In Names", "In Parameters" and "In Return Types". Example: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/?search=option
