Monogame, for example, supports PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, while still being run as an open source project.

No extension at all- it's built in. Try visiting about:profile or launching Firefox with the -p flag.

Firefox already has that sort of profiles, though they are somewhat less visible than the equivalent Chrome feature.

"you are free to decide when others can't speak freely" is a bit reductionist considering we're talking about a platform providing the capability for others' speech. Other situations that introduce nuance are privat

The particular speech in question matters here at some level, doesn't it? Society is messy and collaborative, and applying a first amendment-style rule to literally everyone on literally every subject is untenable. In a sense it&#x27

The syntax actually looks fairly similar to Rust, just with generics replaced with `comptime`. What do you find more approachable about it?

> examples of code that really would benefit from the compiler's help This seems to be the point of disagreement here, and I think evidence clearly shows that you are wrong. Sure, Rust doesn't help you when writing the impleme

IIRC it was a mark and sweep GC in the OCaml implementation.

The way I look at it is as just another way of manipulating continuations, alongside conditional, loops, call/return, generators, coroutines, exceptions, etc. Even in some other hypothetical asynchronous paradigm, all those patterns st

You can use JSX with Vue, and still get its other benefits. :)

That's fair, the ecosystem certainly isn't ready for every use case. What specifically do you mean by "the way the borrow checker handles callbacks"?

This is just anecdotal, but for me productivity in Rust is way higher than C++. Sum types and pattern matching, affine types, the choices made by the standard library, and Cargo all contribute to that. I suspect once you get your head wrapp

Message passing performance is a bit of a red herring. Performance has been within a few percent of monolithic kernels for a long time. More importantly, message passing is already in widespread use for things like virtualization or userspa

Right, I was referring to adding the right -M arguments, including the generated .d files, and handling the edge cases with adding/removing files to the build. Overall the minimal Makefile I copy-paste into every new C project is about

I do like the straightforwardness of Make. But it doesn't do quite enough for it to be simple to use for C or C++ programs. The simplest generic Makefile I can come up with that handles header file dependencies correctly is 10-20 lin

They weren't all that long or written in machine code. I mostly typed in BASIC programs that fit on a single page. The games weren't that sophisticated, obviously, but it was still fun.

The JVM is also massively more complex than WebAssembly. It defines its own object model, its own memory management system, its own enormous standard library. WebAssembly is how these things should have been done from the start. Leave the o

All of these API surfaces are pretty large- what is a good way to get a feel for what they do/don't offer? In particular, what are you referring to in .NET Core that you wouldn't want in Framework?

The comment you replied to does feel somewhat disingenuous and perhaps unproductive, but it's possible they're merely lamenting the state of affairs rather than intending to criticize anyone who works (or doesn't) on Git.

Those are all surface-level comparisons, completely outside the actual languages themselves. And in particular, this thread is about static analysis of pointers to improve ergonomics while retaining memory safety. Javascript's approach

It's a particular technique for managing the memory that helps you avoid accidentally using it after it's been freed/reused.

It's not about making it available for continued production use. It's about archiving the content people created with it. That's getting harder and harder to do as platforms get more and more complicated. "Mostly" c

A pattern on a union just interprets it as the specified field. It doesn't try to determine which one was actually written to last.

Gnome Shell seems to remember the last opened one. That doesn't really help when you actually do use Calc occasionally, though.
