They're working on getting precise GC in, he's been working on it quietly with a mentor and another two GC specialists in the D community for a while :) https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1603

It's not a class, it's a struct (as a value type), it's fine if you disagree with the idea of OOP, but don't come in with an incorrect assumption of how the language is actually used in the wild. But sure, I would agree

Currently using it to write a small OpenGL wrapper which intends to remove the explicit binding (and remove redundant binds under the hood), as well as make data definitions declarative, this is part of my plan to make a XNA-like gamedev li

I think that was one of the purposes of Rackets typesystem, to fit idiomatic Racket code well enough that you wouldn't have to rewrite most of it to introduce static typing to a Racket program.

I wish we had more actually decent statically typed interpreted languages (ones that are easily embeddable, to be precise), this looks very interesting. And no, AngelScript REALLY does not count as anything interesting. (unless you really r

Best tool is a stretch, it's a tool. If we can get tools like Rust which have better memory safety guarantees while offering much of the same performance, then hell, why not? It's easy to see why just by looking at the hundreds of

I think it has become a lot better today with Elixir coming into the picture, as the two can communicate pretty much seamlessly and Elixir has been gaining a lot of steam lately, it's improving. Not to mention that one of the big focus

Wouldn't that be the abduction operator?

Titles like "Scientists can't decide" always grate on me. Almost as bad as "Science has found out x!".

You can't seriously be saying that people potentially running into malware because they couldn't figure out with download button was the real one is reasonable?

Oh I've already made that mistake once (spent a week over new years with an Italian friend's family in southern Italy) Can't say I have anything to regret.. the few extra kg's are just a tribute :D

It's not though, in C++ a functor is generally something which defines the operator which lets you treat it as a callable. (a thing which acts like a function) Though the suppose the dissonance in naming point still applies.

Of course, but does it really matter? Are we all driven by a desire to be remembered and having left our mark on a cosmic scale? I'd say do your best to leave the place better than you came into it, and don't sweat too much :)

Surely the opportunity to experience more is more interesting than the one which has you firmly planted where you are?

One should be careful to not box people in too much, of course HN is full of tinkerer-types though (i mean, it's in the name), but I don't see that as the opposite of someone who is possible of searching for meaning, that's j

People don't know what they don't know. Talking down to people who think something is strange for being the way it is, instead of explaining to them why it is, is so counterproductive and serves no purpose. Everyone has things the

You can conclude that in the greater scale of things, you may not have much impact and still enjoy life. Because being aware that your actions in the greater scale of things mean less, make it easier for you to appreciate the moment and wha

I reckon this would imply some sort of effort on the author's part, can't have that can we?! Well, my snark side, these twittericles are getting a bit old. I do hope notch bounces back, everyone has their ups and downs, and it&#x2

You're certainly doing good by judging someone without context off his twitter postings. Lets not do that. Twitter is just generally a _really_ bad platform for these things, it's basically built for the purpose of having people t
