The issue isn't as simple as just having better error unions with payloads. Constructing the error diagnostics object needs to be taken into account and the costs it brings (e.g does it allocate? take up a lot of stack space? waste res

What if there are native dependencies required? It starts to get a bit hairy whenever something cannot be provided by pip alone. Shipping binrary libs is not a suitable option.

So does this means their astroturfing bot is open to prompt injection?

Because security is not a priority for the industry. Most have no security, default authentication in the rare case that they have it, and they use protocols with no support for it. The field is decades behind in security practices (it&#x27

I've been using guix since 0.15.0 and haven't seen it as much of an issue. Sure, channels will sometimes be out of sync with the latest commit but that's to be expected given that you're likely not following a version cu

Compiler enforced memory safety*. Games in particular tend to have their own allocators and memory management schemes which don't play well with global allocators. Using memory pools, frame (arena) allocators, system specific memory ma

Web apps have largely had terrible performance compared to native even on my development machine. Everything moving to the browser is a regression in isolation, increase of complexity, and a poor use of resources given that the application

This is rather sad that one must give up the range and add the signed range just to avoid overflow bugs. Is there no way to make overflow not the default and instead trap unless one uses `add_wrap()` or `add_no_wrap()` in case it's not

How would it work with userspace memory allocators?

That's the nice part, it can eliminate switch cases, for loops, while loops, and, or, and all forms of conditional control flow if it's comptime-known without changing the behaviour of the code. This also plays well with `inline

One would just run tests and rebuild for the supported targets? That will hit all comptime branches that you care about without needing to do anything else. I don't see how this is much worse? What you seem to be looking for is an &quo

Opt-in should be the default where the tool asks for consent politely. Information on how the application is being interacted with belongs to the user not the developer thus it should favour their choice over sneakily enabling it for those

It's interesting how this has now become the norm where users accept such treatment without question and propose "quick workarounds" so they can continue using abusive software.

Compile-time evaluation is easier if you think of it as a separate language for pre-computing and generating zig code where most of the time it's used to supply the type of a parameter or construct a container like you would with a tem

Compilers are performance critical in the sense that you wouldn't want to wait 15 minutes to an hour for your code to build. Consider the number of layers of cache applied to compilation pipelines along with distributed builds to speed

The issue is mostly maintaining two diverging compilers as every feature needs to be implemented twice. Thus, by removing the C++ compiler the project gains from only needing to implement new features once and thus lowers the maintainance b
