I agree. I believe LLMs are ushering in a new golden age for programming language design and implementation.

That seems like a brittle approach to transpilation. A transpiler should translate all of the language's semantics, including resolving identifiers as symbols, and then choose lega…

What do you think of Ada's representation clauses and Zig's packed structs? Do they give you the syntax and semantics for arrangement (ordering, padding, widths), endianness, and c…

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for the compliment. Good luck.

I disagree. This thread contains tons of empathetic people who seem to understand each other, and disagree with each other. It's a breath of fresh air. Sure, there are also some an…

I'm sorry to hear that. Since writing that response I've added plenty more to this thread.

Hi! Thank you. Both Daniel and I are well aware of Karl Popper. We've both been interested in politics since we were teenagers.

I'm sorry to hear that. For what it's worth I think there's nuance in his decision that most people don't see. Of course that doesn't mean I think it was the right decision to make…

You presume wrong. He has nothing against immigrants as a group. He sees open borders as the ideal, and have since he was a teenager. As far as I can tell the only reason he doesn'…

I disagree. Daniel's private actions does not represent the company. The difference between the private actions of a CEO and an employee's is that if the actions are controversial …
