Making it illegal to write code without bounds checking is an interesting and fun concept to imagine.
- masklinn 10y agoWhy? That's how the vast majority of modern languages work. You can't opt out of bounds checking in Java or Python.
- outworlder 10y agoYes, but they now opt out of other things. Such as nullable variable references.
- codezero 10y agoI was thinking of it more playfully – what would this legislation look like, how would it affect productivity of engineers, it's a curiosity, I don't actually have any stake in it happening.
