VS Code takes ~6 seconds from clicking its icon to having its window show up. On an 8th-gen Intel i7 with an SSD. Yes Electron has abysmal performance.

I don't want to be defending Rust but your post has so many misconceptions. May I ask where you got all that information and what your background is? > C++ at least has extern "C" going for it, which disables name mangling

Can someone explain why this is better than branch, commit and rebase from master if needed, then submit the pull request?

When you search in the API documentation, you will find 3 tabs at the top: "In Names", "In Parameters" and "In Return Types". Example: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/?search=option

What does this have to do with syntactically expressing the same thing twice with two different semantic meanings?

by fredmorcos 9y ago
So you get my point. 'x' is not going to be modified behind your back and it's pretty clear on the calling site. In C++ it isn't clear.

Agreed. But my example isn't about security or UB. It is about the language allowing you to write two IDENTICAL snippets of code that end up meaning two different things without any overloading involved. Like saying something and meani
