Probably because both go together, and it has hardly changed anything when everything else keeps using plastic, a I feel good measure.

A good example on how programming with natural language is taking off, regardless of determinism considerations.

As proven by industry adoption of clang, that isn't an option in many platforms. Additionally clang is driving C extensions for safety that should have long been part of the langua…

Hardly anything worthwhile, like paper straws, those are the kind of feel good measures, while the planet gets destroyed via wars, depletion of resources, wild construction, fires …

If only folks did the same in regards to React adoption....

They never will, as mentioned they have decided not to support what became optional in C11. If C23 ever comes to land on MSVC, which I have my doubts given the radio silence on C s…

Scala is in the way to get capture checking for effects, which will allow to do RAII like stuff, or borrow checker like stuff for that matter.

The interesting case is the Common Language Runtime, not C#. > More than 20 programming tools vendors offer some 26 programming languages — including C++, Perl, Python, Java, COBOL…

Some fact correcting, first of all while most people refer to "The JVM", most likely impling OpenJDK, Java is a standard and there are many implementations. Which exactly in this s…

It should not be a problem, given how many love to use CLI and TUI workflows stuck in the 1960-80's. :)

While I appreciate guest languages for bringing new ideas to specific language platforms, at the end of the day I rather use those that are developed alonside the platform, hence E…

Additionally, although not the same, this kind of relates to JIT caches as well.

Java came with Applets/Web, VB and Delphi with Windows, TP with cheap compilers for PC on top of Pascal university adoption,....

The best is kind of debatable as it lacks the IDE tooling from LispWorks and Allegro.

Morphic started on Self actually, maybe start there? I am unaware how it evolved since then, especially given the differences between Self and Smalltalk. https://handbook.selflangu…

Well, the features announced at WWDC 2026 naturally are yet to be made available in a mature form.

They officially saw no need for C support going forward. https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-an... Note, "If you really need either of the following.....then …

Well, even if that lands on the official standard, that means C29 as probable release year for C2y, plus adoption of the exact form across compilers to be able to rely on it being …

Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Unisys, HP, Oracle/Sun have done that for a while now.

Agreed, even game devs that ignore Linux as target for their AAA games, actually tend to use Linux for game servers, the age of IIS with .NET/ISAPI is long gone, except for legacy …

There were not the solution for a while now, that is why Kata containers came to be in first place.

Mostly because they forget Scheme is one of the few languages where TCO is part of the language standard, making it a required feature for any compliant implementation. This has al…
