That isn't a bad idea, but keep in mind, there is always a usability aspect (I'll just call it the programmer computer interface problem) of "what makes a programming language popular". For example, consider PL/I:

There is Oracle risk to be sure, but people using the greater java ecosystem are far less tied to the JVM itself than they used to be because of cross compilation to targets that help with ffi boundaries, JIT, IO, memory concerns, etc. That

Here is some nuance with Rust's OOP relative to java/go/c++: https://stevedonovan.github.io/rust-gentle-intro/object-orie... If you know haskell, Rust's traits are very similar to type classes, exce

Simula(67) definitely was the original concept/implementation of OO. Smalltalk, C++, Java, etc all derived different aspects of it. - Main abstraction are classes (of objects). - Concept of self-initializing data/procedure objects

> Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous. I haven't seen that in practice. A good point of reference are implementations of things like ruby, python, or the erlang vm in rust compared to the C alternatives. This mi

Fuzzing is ROI efficient (especially for time invested) even if you don't intend to find a segfault, but just want to see how a program works or performs across different input states either in or out of its usual domain (and you can d

I'd say Rust is much more like Ocaml (with very different memory management) than anything related to C++ (in fact, if you unlearn C++, or know any ML-ish language, idiomatic Rust becomes significantly easier). Ownership types are prob

by smt1 6y ago
The problem is that all of these languages are at least partially derived from C or C++, where memory layout is inverted relative to something like Fortran (which seemed to get this right from the 1960s) when you consider most cache lines o

Another Ocaml-ish option is of course, Rust. One thing it has additionally going for it is a complete node.js JS reimplementation (with deno.js, the runtime is mostly go inspired), a client side web browser JS/Webstack impl with bleedi

I used Netscape 0.99 on a Mac. It was on a BMUG CD from 1994 that I would get a lot of freeware/shareware. Used it download SPRY Mosaic, which Microsoft licensed to create IE on Win95 soon after (I had already seen Mosaic running on CD

It's too bad JVM happened. Solaris was innovative before Java, which became monetized primarily by the fees. They released Self, SmallTalk, and Squeak before that. I think the latter is still very innovative today, because of it'

People do need to write UIs in C++ though (sometimes as frontends for some of the purposes you mentioned), and Qt is probably the most used UI toolkit for C++. Wt is basically Qt for the web. I've used a lot of UI toolkits across many

Depending on the country, chloroquine (or hydroxychloroquine) are over the counter. At least it is in both the UK and India. The UK has banned export of it, and in India it's less prevalent than it used to be because of the spread of c

Well, that reflects inflated American prices. In India, it is about 270 INR for 90x 200mg, or about $3.65. Non-generic hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is about 3 times the price.
