In the article it is assumed that the object of the node owns a vector of it's dependencies locally. We don't need to access the entire edges set all at once. The evaluation process is recursive. Once the node's function re-e

It depends on how you define the observable pattern. The fundamental components here are laziness and weak connections between graph nodes. Node values are getting materialized only when you observe them, and the system is flexible for live

Well, I can ask you the same question. I don't see how you can make money using AI in the foreseeable future too. Even if it is possible today, once the critical mass of people will master this technology, the opportunity gone. In the

From the purely utilitary position maybe you are right, but my point was about arts and entertainment. Using the content generation tools might be useful in certain situations, but it's not joyful when the robots do the job for you. Im

I'm not quite understand what "language-extrapolation" actually means. Personally, I don't use AI because I like to program myself. There are many other reasons, but this simple one dominates.

I upvoted your comment. I share your view and just wanted to say you're not the only one who thinks this way.

It works as long as a country primarily spends its income on internal development. Today's Russia is a relatively prosperous country with high living standards, at least in big cities. Perhaps these standards are even higher than in so

A huge part of China's success stems from the fact that Nixon opened up U.S. markets to China, along with U.S. investment capital. It was a key strategic decision made by the United States to counter Soviet influence in Asia. China&#x2

Using the term "open source" for every project published in source code form might not be ideal — not just because of the "zealots", but also because it may not serve the author’s best interests. The term "open sour

I'm currently unemployed, and my last job ended over two years ago, so my experience is more related to the pre-AI boom era. Back then, I often felt that the software products we were developing could have been created by much smaller

On a more general note, it's often challenging to sell anything to the software developer community, regardless of the licensing terms you choose. I believe you'll gain commercial traction only if your product is closer to the rea

You can publish your project under your own licensing terms. In your license, you can prohibit the creation of derivative works based on your source code, except for building executables for personal use, provided your clients obtain a comm

Thank you for your feedback! I agree with your point about the licensing. I would also add that tools for the development of compiler front-ends are quite a niche market. So, honestly speaking, I don't plan to earn much from my project

You are right, this is indeed the second iteration of the project. Since the first iteration (released about a year ago), many things have changed and been reworked. The most notable change is the introduction of the semantic-analysis frame

The problem with Vulkan and the similar APIs is that the authors of the specification attempted to make an industry standard that would be easier to implement by the GPU manufacturers, but at the same time it would still be quite high level

I work with Rust most of the time. As of the pure functional languages, yes, perhaps using parser combinators is better.

by Eliah_Lakhin 2y ago
I think it all depends on the language, but I found it (usually) easier to implement the recursive-descending parsers just manually. This may include combination approach too, but using my own combinatorial and domain-specific functions. In
