That's primarily just because Google is doing a poor job offering them to people. Bad documentation, and few trust Google enough to want to tie themselves to Google's trusted hardware. Also, Google is using all these TPUs for thei

Huh? Go doesn't use LLVM though, where did you get the idea that it does? That's part of why its compile times are so fast.

You can also just write no code at all if you so desire. It certainly won't cause any memory issues that way. (Hint: What you yourself decide to write or refrain from writing is not the problem. You're not they only person who eve

From what I heard Gemini might be better at translation tasks than GPT4.

I have never used it directly, take what I say with a grain of salt. As far as I know at least part of the idea was to eliminate the function coloring problem by letting the compiler do some nifty compile-time deductions. This had some issu

I believe what they're trying to get at is related to the following quote from your article: > This also alleviates the need for considering any sort of question about “what happens if you cancel the cancellation future,” and whethe

The borrow checker is really not that big of a deal. It is a hurdle, but the primary issue is just that it's novel and requires you to use different design patterns. If people get stuck here, it is because they don't understand th

To be fair, I ran into a compiler bug in Zig within a few hours of using it. I'd still expect Zig to be a lot less buggy than V, based on what I heard. Last time I looked at V it just seemed like the language wanted to have it all. No

Eh. Someone named it after him, and the name stuck. It's a good concept. Why shouldn't he? What does it matter? Who's harmed by this?

Thank you, that article looks quite interesting and I look forward to giving it a proper read.

When I read this, I have to think of a take I heard a few times, namely that "Rust would be better off if the language had opted for a proper effect system from the get go, instead of grafting specialized forms of it onto the language

Well, if you really want to play games then you should just use Linux nowadays. Not even ironic, I see more issues on Windows nowadays than on Linux. That might say a lot about the games which I play, though.

I assume that "right-wing" and "anti-diversity" are correct labels here, that's not really my problem. It's frankly less about bias, and more about the fact that the Wikipedia article is pretty sparse, and all

Is there any summary of what happened from the side of the proponents? Given Wikipedia's track record when it comes to certain topics, it'd be very nice to have some points of comparison here.

Go has panics. You can unwind them, and recover from them. Using these for control flow is heavily discouraged and therefore it's rarely ever an issue, but they are a type of exception handling, or at least very close to that.

Really? The Wikipedia article on trigraphs seems to disagree. Why do you think so?

by TwentyPosts 3y ago
Wait, no trigraphs anymore??? This is horrible, I loved using `and` and `not` and `or` in C boolean expressions and to pretend I'm writing Python code. It's fun!

This is something much, much more easily learned with your second, or maybe even third programming language rather than with your first.
