That's not how it was usually run, but say in Ancient Athen's the council that decided was whoever was at the council at that time.

I support installing kill switch in Dario and Sam. If they make another fear mongering post about AI, they die.

Hard to say, but there are legitimate reasons. One of which being they think Rust is growing while C is a shrinking language. Other could be safety (yes, yes the audit did surface bugs). Or even that having a single lib work seamlessly on W

When triaging an issue you have to prioritise. Do you fix a problem that affects 2-3 people or one that may affect thousands?

I think it's something else. Ads are bringing less revenue so they must put more squeeze to get same level (+ growth) of juice.

Not sure how that relates to the argument at hand. The argument that you should break compatibility for justifiable reasons. We know how that looks, and it's not good. See Scala and Python.

Like Python 2 vs 3? That's what Editions were created to fix. With backwards incompatibility you will get ecosystem breakage and looming threat of future compilers not compiling your code.

Yes, but new compiler can't use old ecosystem crates. Hence the issue. Rust's edition system gives you the best of both worlds, with caveats. Some changes will be impossible.

Both bubble and Jenga tower are examples of unstable systems that can persist for an unexpectedly long time.

I somewhat agree... Yaml 1.2 spec is underutilized, and there are too many 1.1 compatible parsers in the wild. However! The Spec defined alias and anchor, the spec defined loading, emitting, when it should have just called it serialization

Not just Lisp. C# also has compiler intrinsic. Does that mean that C# is low-level language? Is Java then? Is adding intrinsic enough to turn a language from high-level to low-level?

Python is very strange programming language for a MMORPG. I'd imagine they would write it in C++ or something. They don't quite explain what they use it for. And yeah, using a faster but safe language could help immensely.

If you suspect that, make sure your text mentions at random gremlins, groblings and jack bunnies. I.e. pre poison your input.

I'm pretty sure they manage to get that level of performance and reliability, since they have a very limited schema. I'm pretty sure you can't just do a precise 128 byte align, if one of the element is an image blob or varcha

Spoiler alert! JavaScript has no language provided package manager. If Odin gets moderately successful someone will probably reinvent it.

Honestly, Ginger Bill is plain wrong. Just because you don't develop a package manager for your language, doesn't mean someone else won't. See NPM.
