I think that most people that are "scientific" are unable (because of our education) to _try_ to think about the validity of this way of _understanding_. I like to think that societies in Latin America (and, importantly, all aroun

Yes, just that server and client are very much tied, and we have a release cadence of one new version per week. So, you would need to track the release of each week and compile it, to be able to connect to the official server.

The project started, as you stated, as a clone of Cube World (the name CloneWorld was thrown a few times, did not stick). But it was rapidly decided that the direction we wanted was different. Veloren is a look-similar (and I would argue th

The launcher was there to make it easier to pull the latest build without needing to check if a new version was available. A couple of years back the updates were irregular (sometimes a few days, other more than a week). We regularized the

In Mexico you cannot have that, as the constitution says that no right that you had can be taken from you retroactively. The problem is the Mexico is the most strict country (by law) in copyright terms, which is dead of last author plus 15

And exactly that is one of the things Julia was designed for, you don't need two languages to get the performance. This allows to have even more flexibility, you can write allocation free, copy free, SIMD code from top to bottom, bec

Thanks for the link! Then I guess there is not a lot more that can be said currently, except that maybe Mojo still needs more compiler work. Still, I prefer how readable is the Julia code. :)

About the show startup times, they have been worked massively in the latest version of Julia. Mainly in version 1.9, which is the first version of Julia that saves native compiled code. You can RAAF more about that in the released blog [1].

While the second part is true, it is a fundamental restriction because Julia compiles a method until it is actually hit and types are defined for the call stack. In equivalent manner, for StaticCompiler.jl you need a declarations of the m

All the other answers are true. But there is one thing I didn't see people saying. Thanks to the existence of macros, you can create->compile code in runtime. This allows for faster solving of some problems which are too dynamic, th

Edit: I see your point now. Still, I don't know if there is some specific idiom that the current version of the compiler may optimise better. :)

The example Mojo code does not run the computations with numpy. It uses the extensions of Mojo to do it, testing the capabilities of this extensions, which are the ones who promises the speed up. I must admit otherwise that not a lot of wor

Well, it is as simple as that... using PackageCompiler.jl [1] (PkgC.jl). It does create huge executable (you can easily trim them), but those are relocatable and portable between machines as they include most (if not all) of the dependencie

I think the commenter refers to the fact that in Julia, code is data, even if it is not represented as lists. This allows the existence of macros, which are syntactic sugar to functions modifying code. Also that most (all?) lisps have multi
