It's a bit disappointing that a relatively new language like Rust doesn't handle these correctly. There's no value in a String type if it doesn't behave for text. One can simply us…

It's not about reversing, but about checking whether reverse iteration works. This is required to perform proper truncation (for limited length fields) as well as visual editing fo…

It'll probably help in this case since I suspect it's computational overhead introducing the bottleneck, nothing architectural. Alas, I might have to wait, as I tend to use Python …

I intend on adding WebRTC as a channel for higher volume discarble messages, such as the cursor position of all players.

I agree. General purpose pattern matching in both expressions and function dispatch is a great feature.

Great!

I do not have a good reason. A lot of my recent stuff isn't technical, so it's only on the Medium pages. I guess I tend to post those links often now.

I chose LLVM from the start since I knew some of the challenges that interested me couldn't be done at the C level -- or rather it'd be more complicated at that level than at the L…

Thank you.

When I started Leaf it was to scratch an itch. It was really only when the motivation dropped that I tried to find ways to use it, to renew my interest in pursuing it.

Perhaps that did not come across in the article well. When I set out to do Leaf that was the goal of the work. It's wasn't a diversion to some other goals. Over time my priorities …

I, the author, am tending to agree now. :)

Okay, they are classified but I don't see that anything in the setup, or pip package management, seem to actually use them. Are they somehow used in actual package management, or j…

That is not an actual migration guide. It's merely a meta-doc saying what types of things you need to pay attention to. I was looking for a specific list of things that would have …

The `iter` form of the `readline` doesn't load the entire stream first, whereas the second form you posted does. This makes a significant difference when reading data from another …

The simple syntax changes I did prior to running 2to3 as they came up on the first run I tried. The semantic changes that didn't come up in 2to3 is what I was more bothered about.

#1 has a big influence on my argument. I think it was Python and NodeJS library systems that made it super simple for people to publish libraries. There are a lot of trivial librar…

I (the author) can certainly do the silly algorithm tests, but whether I can contain my snide remarks enough to get the job is uncertain. :)

Those are some of the points I'm considering as well when doing the memory management for Leaf. My desire to have predictable destructors is tough to reconcile in a tracing GC. I'm…

In my quest for a memory management scheme on Leaf it's your final point which is primarily forcing my decision: the compatibility with other memory managers. In this article I jus…

In my conclusion I mention why there are no benchmarks, it's nearly impossible to construct a realistic comparison between the two techniques. When I cosnider tracing GC my primary…
