Not if you use a decentralized peer-to-peer Git forge like https://radicle.network . If one node goes down, users can still access the same issues/PRs from another endpoint.

That's a hell of a lot more than "basic extrapolation." You're misrepresenting the original claim to fight against one that's trivially easy to dispute. "Bun has had an extremely high amount of crashes/mem

> Is your claim that using Zig ends in an "extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs?" Wouldn't that mean that it isn't even feasible to make high-quality software with such a tool? What caused you to hallucin

don't see why they would care to put out docs on it considering macos doesn't even permit kexts anymore, there'd be no gpu drivers anyways. i figured it was obvious we're talking in the context of running linux on these

I understand what you meant (but note that allocating an Rc isn’t necessary; &RefCell would work just fine). I just didn’t see the “subtle linguistic distinctions” - and still don’t… maybe you could point them out for me? https:/&

> Runtime borrow checking: RefCell<T> and Rc<T>. Can give other examples, but admittedly they need `unsafe` blocks. Where are the “subtle linguistic distinctions”? These types do two completely different things. And neither a

imo if you're sprinkling around `unsafe` in your codebase "liberally", you're holding it wrong. In general it's really not that hard to encapsulate most unsafety into a wide-contract abstraction; I’d argue where Rus

Glancing at the Cargo.toml, the package doesn't define any features anyways. `cargo b --no-default-features` only applies to the packages you're building, not their dependencies -- that would lead to very unpredictable behavior

Neat, looks like a combination of erdtree[0] and broot[1]. I use both on a daily basis, are there any features that stand out from the two? [0]: https://github.com/solidiquis/erdtree [1]: https://github.com&

You've managed to miss the entire point of using a union: the value is either a success payload or an error value, never both. You can't encode that mutual exclusivity if you return a std::pair or std::tuple. That's exact

I don't know that there's whining about "having to handle errors" in principle, it's pretty clearly a complaint with the syntax and semantics of doing so Some languages even make omitting error handling impossible!

I don't necessarily disagree with the overall point, but I'm sad the article misses the big advantage to the sum-type solution. It is not just about "being able to collapse `res, err := func()` into `res := func()?`". Wi

This announcement was only added to the README in early October[1]. In the meantime you can of course compile it yourself/grab a build from GH actions. I'm sure they would appreciate the testing, especially leading up to release :
