> If you design a language that doesn't allow pointers to be shared across threads at all, then you wouldn't need a borrow checker. Is that actually true? I'm pretty sure you need the borrow checker even for single threade

I don't follow influencers but my guess is that they already do this, at least they use filters. If someone can use all these tools to gain considerable amount of fame and fortune, is (s)he really not intelligent? Of course, all these

Most functional languages parse a b c d e f as a(b, c, d, e, f), it does not matter what b, c, d, e, f are. Do you know any language where this is different?

I really believe this is the only way you can write good software. It's mind blowing to me that most people try to "figure out" the problems before seeing what it actually is. I always feel strange when someone is writing a &

if you don't have memory issues in your code then either it's so small that everyone participating in its development can actually keep it in a perfect state or no one searched hard enough yet. After a certain complexity bugs just

Can you tell anything about that simulator? it sounds wild:)

I'm interested in your language ideas. Could you please share them with as much detail as you can/want?

I think the idea that the program can load files as code is insane in itself. There shouldn't be such a mechanism in an ideal world. The operating system would decide what you can actually load and load it for you.

I am not sure what kind of argument you would like, you are trying to redefine the word 'deterministic'. My argument is that it does not work like that. Just because we cannot predict something does NOT mean that it is not determi

I believe you are mixing things up. A chaotic system IS deterministic, it is just really hard to predict what it will do. The fact that we (or anyone) cannot predict what will happen in our world says nothing about it being deterministic. I

>Rust is barely influenced by functional languages. That is arguable. Rust supports and in a lot of ways prefers functional solutions for problems, for example the iterator trait in std and a gazillion similar library APIs. Functional pr

I very much agree with you. Having some strange words in the middle of a large code that is mostly english is just, well, weird. I think inconsistency is a serious issue.

Technically, you are right, but if multiple processes use the same shared memory is there a real, meaningful difference? You can do efficient, parallel computation in a browser, does it really matter how it is executed under the hood?

Hi, I am working on something similar, it's nowhere near usable but I hope that a proof of concept version could be ready this year. My variant is focused on visual programming with various representations. I will definitely read your

I believe you can use this without touching Rust. If I remember correctly they even ran Dota2 with this. That certainly does not have Rust inside.

>It's been a great strategy for 30 years and I hope they keep at it. I wouldn't say that it's been great . The evolution of C++ is insanely slow.

In a sense we already do this. For example, every time you create a website in HTML/CSS and javascript, you use high level instructions and a lot of declarative stuff. It is already very far away from the actual hardware. If you use so

I really hope when the time comes and someone reinvents the wheel and comes up with a new great OS, the new OS will NOT have signals. Those are one of the worst things ever invented. The idea that your code is randomly interrupted and it st

On some architecture int is 32bit while isize is actually 64bit so no, that translation is definitely not the ideal one.

> VR? Probably not. VR looks to be the next 3D TV. It's just too much of a hassle to go mainstream. I disagree, I think VR is going to be the next big thing but it will take a few generations of HW and SW to get there. VR mixed with

The instance can fetch the upgrade from the NFS mount and also work using the previous version when NFS is down. I see no problem here.

If you work for a company that does not let you choose your compiler then I guess they probably will be stuck with a language more mainstream anyway. I doubt that the nightly compiler will be the dealbreaker.

Did not read the article but the name itself is bad. You cannot name a product using an number. How the hell did they come up with this?

It's an empty tuple stuffed into an enum variant called Ok. The empty tuple plays the role of the traditional void .

It has a runtime comparable to C. Back in those days, it had a much larger one.

How quick is this? I'll give it a go with our company's dataset. Unfortunately none of the javascript charting libraries could handle it so far. I am not even sure it is possible to do what I want using JS and current technology.
