Ah man, one of those right-libertarian/anarcho-capitalist types. Don't worry, most of these people change their belief system once they take an elementary economics class. I know I did :)

Will be a huge pain in the ass. Go's compiler uses Plan 9, and WebAssembly uses LLVM.

Actually no. It's only referred to that because people are stupid. It contains neither an actual disk nor a drive motor to spin a disk. HDD = HARD DISK drive SSD = SOLID STATE drive

2) It's probably not a disk. I'd bet it's an SSD, or something. I doubt he'd use an HDD considering how relatively cheap it is now... and considering how loaded he probably is.

Oh, whoops! I mistyped. Didn't mean to mention LLVM. That ARM64 stuff is pretty messed up though.

Oh, that's news to me. I guess that makes their claim a bit weaker.

Darwin, LLVM, Clang. Also: WebKit, Objective-C. (debatable since the GPL forced their hand)

Probably to differentiate themselves from pure software companies like Mozilla, in which case that claim would almost certainly be false.

As someone who grew up in the Bay Area, I thank you.

I went to Homestead High School (and have friends that went to Gunn/Paly) and the experiences I've witnessed have been similar. One of my friends has parents that worked at Adobe. During his junior year, he was taking AP Calculus

But LLVM already has a lot of good backends (emscripten, arm, ppc, x86, amd64). Why reinvent the wheel when you could just make Go a LLVM frontend and be done with it?

by frame_perfect 11y ago
What about LLVM? Go's support of cross compilation is laughable in comparison to the different LLVM backends. And you can just use the -arch armv7 and -arch arm64 shortcuts instead of those target triples. Also, FWIW, the reason why Go

How old are you? I'm 21 and feel the same way, although it was the tail end of middle school, all of high school, and freshman year of college. So around 2008-2013.

Ah, yeah true. I could kind of see it going the way of wine.

If you excluded cannabis from your comment, I'd agree with you 100%. Cannabis can be both, but for me, and a lot of people I know, regular use just promotes bad habits and lifestyle choices. But to each his/her own. (btw I suppo

Oh yeah... duh. For some reason I thought you and the parent comment were the same person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I probably would have never started smoking pot if there wasn't that edgy/cool/illegal vibe to it. Once pot is legal, the stigma around recreational use will probably turn into something like drinking cough syrup for the DXM.

Isn't that the whole point? If legalization goes through and the crime is only localized to the U.S., then Mexico's supreme court reduced crime in Mexico.

In Lua, you can set the allocation function (for memory limits) and I think you can set time limits by using coroutines.

That's exactly why we have the free software movement.
