IIUC Fil-C does not allow to freely write safe assembly language as well, right? From the inlineasm page, they say > Parsing and analyzing the assembly. If it contains memory acces…

By the way > Zig will become one of the only toolchains capable of producing actually memory safe executables there's a whole class of GC languages that can do that

Sure, the point makes sense but if that's the sole point I think communication is quite bad. Fil-C is memory-safe only if the whole stack is compiled with Fil-C: this does not hold…

Zig main dev proposes to introduce a Fil-C like compilation mode to make zig safe: it's only natural to mention how that's different from Rust, right? What about all the other lang…

Typically I just want to isolate the agent disallowing it from accessing other parts of the filesystem. Using a different user might be enough, but I typically use [bubblewrap]( ht…

Honestly, I don't think the EU problem is taxation. Really, there's a long list of things that have higher precedence over that, for example, not being so immigration-adverse.

Ah, sorry if "parents spending more time with their kids" is a too extreme and communist view.

Ok with that. So yes, I stand by my stance: looking at test is enough. We can debate whether when tests can be considered complete enough.

I think you and I don't share what is a "test". Are you thinking about unit tests? I'm thinking about unit tests, smoke tests, integration tests, e2e tests, functional tests, manua…

I don't think that from my comment anyone can infer that I'm opposed to reducing general taxation. I'm, in fact, in favor in increasing taxes for who owns too much, not against red…

If any EU government people are reading this, I'd like to send you a short message: Please stop thinking about the kids on the internet. But here's a brief list of things you must …

I'm so happy about this. Really. I cannot overstate how much important the internet archive is for all of us.

That's a fun point. I honestly don't think it will happen in 3 years, but I think it will surely doable in 10. More interestingly: will we need to care about the code at all, at th…

One should care about tests more than how code was coded. If I had a codebase with lots of tests and asked someone else to rewrite it to another language passing the same test suit…

Sadly, yes. I feel too much "violence" on both parts. Honestly, Zig community seems the most bitter for whatever reason, while on the Rust side it seems to me that are simply overs…

Nobody knows. Here's my two cents. Zig is a very interesting LOW level language, but honestly I think it should be considered for what it is: a better C. I don't think it fits for …

Honestly, I don't know. I think it's because of frustration, but the community attitude is part of it. I experienced first hand people frustrated with Rust moving to Zig and findin…

Thank you, Jarred, for your work. It’s unfortunate to see so much backlash toward legitimate research. Bun is often seen by some as “the flagship project for zig” - especially amon…

They're banning all AI though, so it looks pretty much anti-AI to me.

Nice. This is the kind of technology we need when we'll have to fight back against AI overlords.

Yep, war is the shittiest of things and rarely it is described completely for what it is. Humans following orders are well known to be ruthless and humans in power places are known…

Be careful with difftastic, because it has at least one severe bug involving python that has been present for a long time: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/587

I dream of the day in which there is no need to pass by JS and Wasm can do all the job by itself. Meanwhile, we are stuck.
