   I speak the same native language as Lennart and apparently I have the same misunderstandings of the language. I agree with his reading, that NTP welcomes usage (as a default in your open source project) iff you apply as a vendor. Can you

   That might be against the point of this project, but I really miss the possibility of an audio-overlay. I found the demo really stress- and unhelpfull, because you have to read rockey text while typed in absolute silence… brrr. I'd r

   Thanks for the detailed answer :) First let me say: I agree, with pretty much everything you say. The communication issue is, that you seem to equate "generics" with how generics are implemented in rust. I don't see it that w

   The canonical answer is [0], though unfortunately, that's not very good to illustrate this specific point :) I came to this conclusion from reading the golang-{nuts,dev} mailing lists and whan pops up in the community. The usual answer

   The claim was specifically "without generics there would be no point for servo to exist, because it would be too slow". This explanation only limits what kind of generics you can use for speed, but not why generics in itself (and

   1 is a misconception. Go channels are fundamentally useless for iteration, because you leak goroutines with break or return inside the loop. Same goes for 3 probably. 2 and 4 are the idiomatic ways (and afaict the only ones used in the stdl

   Mostly by making abstractions harder. By making it pointless to think about "what is the best type-hierarchy for this software" or "what is the most general way this problem can be formulated and solved", it forces you t

   I find it counterintuitive, that generics and traits improve speed. I would enjoy a deeper explanation of that :)

    The correct analogy (as we are generally not building people) is "Building an aircraft, that needs a pilot with certification and a certain number of flight hours, or building an aircraft that can be flown by any passanger with minimal

    Also, asprintf is a GNU-extension, so if you want to write portable code, it's a no-go (as for everything usefull in C).
