Like Python 2 vs 3? That's what Editions were created to fix. With backwards incompatibility you will get ecosystem breakage and looming threat of future compilers not compiling your code.

Yes, but new compiler can't use old ecosystem crates. Hence the issue. Rust's edition system gives you the best of both worlds, with caveats. Some changes will be impossible.

Both bubble and Jenga tower are examples of unstable systems that can persist for an unexpectedly long time.

I somewhat agree... Yaml 1.2 spec is underutilized, and there are too many 1.1 compatible parsers in the wild. However! The Spec defined alias and anchor, the spec defined loading, emitting, when it should have just called it serialization

Not just Lisp. C# also has compiler intrinsic. Does that mean that C# is low-level language? Is Java then? Is adding intrinsic enough to turn a language from high-level to low-level?

Not average of English. Average of all written text. Which probably includes lots of marketing and hypetexts.

McAfee wasn't always this shit, and ads on non-porn sites weren't as malicious.

Python is very strange programming language for a MMORPG. I'd imagine they would write it in C++ or something. They don't quite explain what they use it for. And yeah, using a faster but safe language could help immensely.

If you suspect that, make sure your text mentions at random gremlins, groblings and jack bunnies. I.e. pre poison your input.

Use Rust if you want to write in a memory safe, high performance language. > Zig's value prop is different and closer to a modern C: it fits in your head and it maps fairly closely to assembly. This can't be correct for the sim

I'm pretty sure they manage to get that level of performance and reliability, since they have a very limited schema. I'm pretty sure you can't just do a precise 128 byte align, if one of the element is an image blob or varcha

Sure. And people shouldn't steal people's credentials and publish malicious artifacts, yet here we are. Just because you expect people to behave like X doesn't mean they will. In this case people will automate packaging of ar

Sure. Maybe threshold is bit higher than moderately. But unless your language tries to sabotage itself by making code artifacts uncomposable (a la C/C++ where best way to compose libraries is through shell commands) some package manage

Spoiler alert! JavaScript has no language provided package manager. If Odin gets moderately successful someone will probably reinvent it.

by Ygg2 27d ago
Honestly, Ginger Bill is plain wrong. Just because you don't develop a package manager for your language, doesn't mean someone else won't. See NPM.

> Except MoPaQ weren't zips I meant zipping colloquially as in compressing an archive format. But you seem to get the gist of it ;) > in Blizzard games, those were "zips" of heavy data files, notably read only data blob

I mean, zipping files in an archive and presenting them as a file is an ancient tradition in video games. For example Warcraft 3 used the MoPaQ archive to store data in .w3x file. And Starcraft 2 data is just bunch of XML files.

Office documents since the 2007 have used a zipped XML approach. Just take an .docx and open it in 7zip. EDIT: Narrowed the date.
23.
by Ygg2 1mo ago
It's not that weird. Most of Office and Open office formats are just zipped folders of XMLs. Better Zipped XML than whatever monstrosity Adobe files are. PDF/PSD... shudder.

Not even the sea floor. When whale carcass falls to the sea floor, it creates its own mini-ecosystem that lasts as long as the corpse lasts (couple of decades).

I'd say unwrap isn't a subtle case either. Yet people see examples and think - "This is the way!"

Keep in mind it's UB to be: > Executing code compiled with target features that the current thread of execution does not support I.e. calling AVX512 on Neon architecture. You need to wrap it in target attributes to even dream of it

Seeing how people were interested about immobile types. Why not discuss the silent MVP of the goals. Rust comptime.
