this is possible in rust, albeit with a lot of shenanigans. See this article where someone made a GC in rust where the external references are bound to a specific GC via a unique l…

fair enough, I suppose

seems pointless to extract `handle_suspend` here. There are very few reasons to extract code that isn't duplicated in more than one place; it's probably harder to read to extract t…

> And I don't know any other languages that don't parse a carriage return. fair enough.

you can just expose javascript functionality as a component, if need be

I would think you could treat it as a normal GC reference and then just drop the resource when the GC collects the object.

I still don't understand how they managed to make a build system as bad as Gradle. It's like they tried to make it as horrible as possible to use.

sure, but when I've written zig this has never been an issue for me. `defer` makes memory management really easy. If you want to auto-generate destructors, zig has really good comp…

I'm not sure why you shouldn't make your compiler accept CRs (weird design decision), but fixing it on the user-side isn't exactly hard either. I don't know an editor that doesn't …

We've had machine translation for a while and I don't think anybody particularly thinks of it as a bad thing? Writing something and then having a machine directly translate it (pos…

The WASM component model is really cool in that you can export basically anything as a component and use it in basically anything else that can compile to WASM and understand compo…

I disagree. That's how WASM is now, and I guess that's fine, but that's not all it could be. I really think it would be awesome if you could write code for the web in your preferre…

webassembly components use a borrow checking model[1], so I assume that would be used to manage DOM components? I'm not exactly sure how this works when binding it to GC languages.…

iirc webassembly components need to explicitly import anything they use, so it should be transparent which dependencies something has by just grepping its WIT for `import`

what's with people inventing new torment nexuses every few weeks? could you people just chill, please?

`bool` is useful as a communication device; if you just use `int` (or `int32_t` or whatever) then it's not exactly clear that the value can only hold `1` or `0` unless you explicit…

cursorless ( https://www.cursorless.org/ ) is basically spoken vim it isn't for LLMs at all really but if you want to do code editing via voice it seems like it'd be really good fo…

instead they made (or funded? not exactly sure) il2cpp which is a batshit compiler that compiles IL to C++ for better performance, I guess. sidenote, I wonder how many other low-le…

this is the main issue I think with D, yeah. regarding kitchen-sink-ness it's at least nowhere near as bad as C++, but that bar is basically below the ground anyway so it's not muc…

what are you referring to regarding Java? I'm aware C# has AOT (and il2cpp for Unity projects) but I don't recall hearing about any sort of Java native binary that isn't just shipp…

this doesn't answer any questions about this game, but I found this GDC talk about Noita pretty interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXuyMCgbTc

not sure if that's a direct comparison to bladerunner. I've not watched/read it but just skimming the wikipedia article, replicants seem to have human-level sapience; I think the c…

did you read the post? I think > I wonder what underclass of people like that exists today. was a subtle hint to what you are talking about.
