- GuB-42 1y agoYes, that's a tradeoff, bondage and discipline languages like Ada and Rust are popular in some fields for a reason. What I like the most is a middle ground: have a language that it permissive when it comes to generating code, but be strict with warnings. Again, problem is that too many people don't care about warnings. Way too many times, I had people call me to investigate their bugs, see a warning, point it out and tell them "here, that's your bug".
- evntdrvn 1y agoAn interesting thought experiment would be a language/toolchain that would be permissive when generating debug builds, but hard-required warn-free to generate an optimized executable.
