This is what conspiracy brain does to someone. It must be that I “called in” someone; that we’re coordinated, when to anyone that’s paying attention, there’s clearly bad blood between burntsushi and I, given that he resigned as a mod from the project over protest from my team’s leadership and I haven’t exactly been non-vocal that I think it’s a good thing the moderation team quit. No, it can’t be that even despite of that, in that thread he is still correct, and we are both professionals, and therefore don’t bring petty shit into hacker news threads. He’s still right in that thread regardless of interpersonal bullshit.

      I stand by my assertion that editing a comment after a reply is authored to make the replier look stupid in hindsight is a coward's move. I give you respect for posting under your real name and having a long history on the site, credit where due, and I hope I've for the most part brought out substantial issues that demonstrate real thought on the issues at question. But fuck me, the HN community deserves an apology for that bullshit, an apology I've issued many times when I got too heated, but an apology owed nonetheless.

It'd be nice to squeak in a legitimate PLT argument from a mover and shaker: is Blow way off on doing a huge, bump-allocated arena every time he hits a `CALLQ`? I think that sounds just obvious enough to be what the GCC/Linux people have been trying to do with resounding failure in the "growable stack"/nobody cares column for a decade now.

  Arenas are great. He’s not wrong that they’re great. He is (was?) wrong that somehow Rust makes them not possible, or bad to use, or something. rustc makes extensive use of them, in my understanding, even.

    He could use the endorsement of someone with your gravitas saying on the record that his (controversial) default is the better default. No one is saying that everyone will be served well by the default, but virtual memory is a great deal cheaper than physical DRAM on every conceivable platform for Jai or Rust, and him blowing it off in big chunks to avoid compiler/borrow-checker errors for the same cost in core without a bitchy compiler is a win in the leathered hacker's book.

      Why can the Haskell people, and the C++ people, and the Python people, and everyone except the Rust people say: we missed vector, we missed modern TLBs, we missed clock-rate forecasts not one but twice, like all those other people have. Why do you people always need to be right?

        What is that thing about vectors that Haskell and python people agree on, but not rust people? I'm genuinely intrigued...

        That they're both stupid and it's wired in too deep to fix now. Catch a Rust person saying this is fucked full stop and it's too late to fix it.
