This seems sort of a secondary cause of our unique linguistic abilities. Afaik no other animal can use recursive grammars. Certainly not to the same extent. Anyway this also excludes all the humans that never wrote anything, which is most o

Yea but there's also not much point in critiquing the government here. What we ever been able to do about it except riot? We can endlessly discuss the failures of government and as it stands I don't think we will never see these f

Indeed. The editorial boards of these newsrooms are often staffed with people who attended the same schools and classes as those running the country. The social circles of the two worlds are extremely closely linked. Of course, this means t

What's the risk of user supplied strings? Surely you know their size. What else is there to worry about?

Tbh, I just really hate the term "undefined behavior". It really feels like laziness in terms of what the possible damage might entail.

Ok, but in the context of the language at hand? Presumably the IR has distinct semantics from the language that generates the IR. Does UB just strictly resolve to LLVM UB? That's very reasonable!
