You mean Clojure, and he did. He is very enthusiastic about it, vastly preferring it to Java. Fyi.

That math leaves out externalities when pricing gas, oil and coal. You may have heard of a few fires going on in Europe in addition to nuclear plants shutting down? Beyond that, th…

There are tools to generate bindings. They probably meant it as a marker of quality. And in languages like zig or odin which are quite similar to C in many ways, writing bindings t…

I don’t know about that. I think Libreoffice is easier to navigate than ribbon-era Office. I think especially Gnome, but also Kde has better settings than Windows, which is spread …

Honestly no need to read this drivel. They have raised billions of dollars and are hoping to justify that by being a monopoly or oligopoly and their worst enemy- the pareto princip…

It is not universal. But imagine you enjoying a programming language (zig, odin, c, c++, …) and half the time some post/article about it comes up, 15% or so of the comments are “ki…

Yes. But what this discussion so often misses is.. So is the US. The US needs military bases, it needs general market access, it wants to sell military equipment and so on and so o…

They have had many "good" ideas about one-sided deals of late - usually served with a "or else..." and then the "or else" happens anyway. One wonders how many times that trick can …

> run by genuinely insane people who think type and memory safety are paramount societal issues So. Rust evangelists ? :) But yes, it is wild that people can honestly quote such dr…

Sure thing :) Just my opinion. It really depends. For systems- kind of software (low-level, DBs, file systems (also user-space)) no, I wouldn’t - if you manage memory with arenas a…

- types rarely catch the interesting errors - any GC'ed language can manage memory for you if you want - My first rust project (a gui app in GTK) managed to segfault just fine in s…

I program C for my day-job. I see Rust encroaching in proposed transitions. It may even happen. That said, it is a poor match for it compared to something like Zig (or Odin). It's …

Look up a few comments, I do systems programming. I am aware, you are barking up the wrong tree, friend. That said. You asked about C, which I use for my job. Most every large C co…

Games ? Many have talked about it, but many also make their games work inside of Unity and so on, so, depends on the project. My angle is systems programming, and there, it absolut…

Having fun with this. Never bought into rust (have studied, have a (mostly AI-generated app in rust). Wrote some Zig but Odin is even less overhead for me. I first loved Zigs built…

Similarly, why should I be bothered reading this kind of comment in each and every discussion thread? What does it contribute? I can read and discern this for myself, I can then st…

Someone or thing to help with chores would be great. But abject exploitation? Sex slave, even? I should hope we can find a little decency within ourselves..

Well India has a diverse set of languages spread across its regions. As I understand it, the degree to which English thrives there is largely because choosing any other administrat…

“ a race condition that occurred only under specific conditions — in the hyper library”

So “fearless concurrency” still only happens when one just decides to not be afraid… :)

So the pennies on the dollar that Ireland gets by being the taxhole of the Eu will subsidize the arts.? :)

You are being very hostile and cherry-picking results- disregarding and denigrating those that don’t fit your narrative. Wrt Linus - who knows? It is irrelevant; he is largely irre…

I don’t think many outside the US are actively hoping to be governed by Sam, Dario and Elon.

As a third party I would rather be happy about the way Chinese labs are acting in the here and now while US labs first masquerade as a public good, then turn around, bail on all pr…
