What is "linting efficiency", never heard of this term before?

Why would you think so? Rust provide better type system and abstraction mechanisms compared to Go, hence equivalent system should have less lines of code, at least in from my experience.

This must be a sarcasm, right?

No, you don't. All you need is to create a folder `bin` and any file with `main` fn in it will create a binary.

This, from my limited experience working on AOSP at Google, only the newer code were being written in Rust, not the existing code. But that was 2 years ago.

Gotcha, yeah you got me there with so many `&`. Good one.

It indeed doesn't look elegant, however I've never in my experience seen a usage like this. Do you have any reference where you might have seen this kind of usage.

What's wrong with using 3rd party library? Can golang stop you from using a channel when it's consumed/closed?

Just curious, which programming language allows preventing shared mutable state for out-of-process data?

No, let me try to explain differently. If `compact_str` was not used, then your normal `String` would take 24 bytes of stack space (regardless of the string size) + heap space. What `compact_str` is trying to do is not use heap when string

Reference Counting is a type of GC.

by super_flanker 3y ago
Reference counting is a garbage collection strategy, otherwise python too would be non-gc language (cpython).

Looks very impressive, I've been tinkering with this idea to have a Kotlin type of language which transpiles to Go, but didn't go past writing a parser. Kudos for working on it, I hope it gains some popularity.

I have used Go for my day job, I'd say you can get the job done in Go. But the resulting code won't be as elegant as you could do in Rust. I'd chose Rust just because how good the type system is: sum type, pattern matching, i
