Following that line of reasoning. Considering we get 3-6x as much energy investing in renewables compared to nuclear then a single cent in invested into nuclear is an enabler of climate change right?

That does not mean that it needs to be fulfilled by sources which can vary their output. You can just as easily curtail renewables when overproducing.

Take Rust. For each and map generally are faster because they often allow bound checks to be elided. 100% trivia.

You can't. But a runtime panic also very easily causes an outage. At least it's not as subtle. Still. Rust is infinitely better in this regard. Go feels like a crude hammer, especially regarding the default interaction between des

Then it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Was worried that skipped bounds checks was something more intricate than simply explicitly annotating a statement to say "trust me, I know what I'm doing!".

Because rust inherently treats humans as fallible to a large extent. Which all of us are. That introduction is simply an appeal to "I can write safe correct C." with more words. Which obviously is not true.
