What is it about Mojo that drives people to write weird articles like this? I don't remember seeing so many bizarre hyped up puff pieces when Carbon was announced.

A high performance asynchronous alternative to Emacs sounds great, but it feels like the Elisp ecosystem is so massive that I can't imagine everything I care about being ported to Lem. Maybe I could stab at a few myself if I was deter

Is that something they can be sued over?

Without operator overloading, you cannot define arithmetic data types that have a homogenous API with fundamental types. Since math is.. basically all that computers do aside from some IO here and there, that's means a language without

A language without operator overloading is non-starter.

Windows 7 didn't have IO rings or Unix domain sockets, which will prohibit running an increasing amount of future software.

Statically linking libC is problematic in various ways. I really appreciate that Zig has its own runtime that is designed specifically for this use case.

That's an interesting idea I might have to try out!

Love the name.

I'd still rather use this than the metric system!

Well, they do have MLIR, which is probably the closest thing to "secret sauce" they've got. I'm excited by some of the performance-oriented features like tiling loops, but they'll need the multitude of optimization-

I got excited thinking there was a new article about MIR, but this is an old post.

Well, idiomatic C++23 is an acceptable math notation too.

Flutter isn't acceptable for Apple platforms, especially iOS. It technically exists, but barely works.

I'm pretty impressed by the vim-quickui and (Neovim) conjure packages.

You probably want posframe along with one of the many options for a vertical completion candidate minibuffer (I like vertico), and a package like marginalia to annotate the options like VS Code. A non-default completion-style like hotfuzz,

By default in Emacs, `M-x` is analogous to Ctrl+Shift+p. Most users like a vertical completion candidate interface for it, such as the `vertico.el` package (among very very many other options). You actually have a ton of control over how th

That was the first thing I thought of too. I'm guessing the name itself is a parody, especially given the cheeky readme.

Compilers can make commutative optimizations with signed integer overflow that is impossible with wrapping semantics. This is why Zig and Carbon both make unsigned integer overflow undefined as well. There is absolutely no advantage in most

No, I am correct. Unsigned integer overflow has wrapping overflow semantics. Absolutely idiotic.

It spends a little time on the topic, and imho doesn't argue the point very well. It points out that MoltenVK doesn't work very well, and I agree, although I think it's questionable whether the Molten-compatible subset is wor

I would put HackerNews in that list as well.

If this is something users actually care about, wouldn't Vulkan AI be a big deal? It has way more features for AI than WebGPU will likely ever have, and it's widely available today.

Changing signed integer overflow is extremely stupid considering unsigned integer overflow is what does the wrong thing in C. Just use ubsan.

Have you tried Vale or Lobster though? Research in memory management semantics is a lot more sophisticated than you might think.

r/cpp doesn't allow question-asking threads, except for questions which explicitly invite discussion.
