I really wish that Kestrel was available as a standalone library. Kind of like Jetty on the JVM.

Does that mean you are planning a specific editor for it?

Ada came out of the DOD so assuming it's an all-caps acronym makes a lot of sense. ;)

It is interesting to me that I read people criticizing Microsoft for their open sourcing code as doing it for marketing reasons---which seems accurate---but not criticizing Google or Apple or whoever else when they open source code.

What's the problem with the module system and functors?

Would you be willing to explain why explicit asynchrony is superior to implicit cooperative threading? Rather than simply engaging in more namecalling.

Ah, maybe, perhaps I am in the minority that liked the different operators for ints and floats. :D

> and not so good at floating point computations What does this mean? I was under the impression the OCaml compiler did a decent number of floating point specific optimizations, like unboxed arrays and what not.

I don't think I'd call Rust user friendly.

No customization presents a simple tool that, hopefully, just works and can be accepted with its flaws and limitations. Once customization starts being added in, it's easier to see annoyances and "why isn't this feature prese

It's significantly easier to be "bad" with C++ than it is to be "bad" with Java.

"provides a read-only mirror" sounds like "developed behind closed doors" to me.

Oh, bummer, I was really hoping it would support Windows.

Not if it's a dictionary!

That doesn't explain why they would need a different precedence. `a + b - c` is not the same as `a - b + c` even through the precedence's of + and - are the same (in most syntaxes).

You gain the knowledge that a device running Fuchsia is running code that's publicly available.

> Additionally, the compilers can and do replace algorithms if users let them. Most users don't want it, even if it makes code faster. What compilers do this? With what algorithms?

I think one of the issues here is what compiler optimizations encompass. In a language like C or C++, you may be able to write optimal algorithms but end up with poor performance because of memory access. An unoptimized compile puts almost

Decidability. :) I'd love to see that show up in more languages. I believe it allows for better abstractions without optimization deficiencies because it's all decidable.

Using a sequence instead of a map is fine if you know it will never be more than some small number of entries, but so often we are wrong about how many entries will be in a table that the N-squared use of a sequence as a map kills perform

Regularly? No, but I got https://github.com/oconnor0/build-your-own-editor to the point that I use it for small editing tasks or occasional remote work. I have a few commits that were done entirely in it. I don't
