Just because something is valuable tech doesn't mean it's not a bubble. See internet and dotcom bubble.

Having tried Kotlin in IDEA, I must admit their refactoring tools for Java are miles ahead of Kotlin. I don't know how strong lock in is.

The same mechanisms established to fight "fake news" are reused to censor reproduction and abortion rights.

In theory they are the same statement; in practice there is 0.01% chance someone wrote unsound code.

I mean, Zig does have non-null pointers. It prevents some UB. Just not all.

It removes a class of security vulnerabilities, modulo any unsound unsafe (in compiler, std/core and added dependency). In practice you see several orders of magnitude fewer segfaults (like in Google Android CVE). You can compare Deno

So by that definition yes, as of Nim 2.0 ORC is the default. You need to opt-out of it.

by Ygg2 10mo ago
Well, that's mostly what a Arc<T> and Rc<T> in Rust are. Optional add-ons.

By that token so is C. GC is a very fuzzy topic, but overall trend is that a language is GC if it's opt-out of GC. Not opt-in. And more strictly, it has to be tracing GC.

Wouldn't an AI scraper working for a huge firm have more incentive to scrape your code, than a competitor?

For threat analysis, you need to know how hard you are to break in, what the incentives are, and who your potential adversaries are. For each potential adversary, you list the risk strategy; that's threat analysis 101. E.g. you have a

Not really. In mostly player-run lobbies, one of the players would kick any found cheaters. It's not exacts science, but it's what people did.
