    Thank you! That is definitely an interesting language. However, it seems like development has stopped. The GitHub page says: "Note: For personal reasons, I'm on an extended break f…

    A language that supercedes C, but with a borrow-checker

    I am interested in safe languages, but without the complexity of Rust. I already spent many years working with C++, and I notice similar tendencies with Rust. Are there any up and …

    Typical swedes. It is probably the most woke country in the world... but they are paying a price for that now.

    Excellent, that's precisely the thing I was looking for! Thank you! I see that there are some tricky issues that would have to be solved with regards to ergonomy, even with an imag…

    A language like C, but with a borrow-checker

    I really appreciate the idea of a Rust-like borrow-checker, but I think Rust is too complicated. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to make a smaller language like C, but with a b…

    It is a closed source programming language, yes.

    Nvidia on Linux is more like running Windows 95 from the gulag, and you're covered in ticks. I absolutely detest Nvidia because of the Linux hell they've created.

    Performant GUI Applications

    I am going crazy with all the electron-based applications that use several gigabytes of memory without doing anything. What are good options and frameworks for making applications …

    I just switched to AMD Radeon as well to get away from the nVidia hellscape that is nVidia and Linux.

    So if you take a Python program and you add the mental effort of having to deal with static types, lifetimes, the borrow checker and performance considerations, and this added ment…

    I couldn't agree more. This has turned me away from Rust as well.

    I couldn't agree more. This is pure manipulation.

    I've attended a few Rust conferences and events, and they have all been unusually politicized. There has been a very strong emphasis on how inclusive the community is, which raises…

    It is not similar at all. Kids all over the world draw swastikas on bathroom stalls and such, just to provoke. Rarely do they get beheaded/stabbed as a consequence, though. Swastik…

    Wow, I had forgotten that this language even existed. Someone said that OO never clicked until they learned Smalltalk. Perhaps I should give a try, and perhaps it can improve my Py…

    Thank you. I think you're absolutely right about JS. I would prefer to avoid dead technology, which is one of the reasons I haven't spent much time with schemes like Racket or GNU …
