Not that it stopped people in the past from adding their own. See JS.

If you have a place to write, then it's not zero allocation. You did an allocation. And usually if you want maximum performance, buffered read is the way to go, which means you need a write slab allocation.

Theoretically yes. Practically there is character escaping. That kills any non-allocation dreams. Moment you have "Hi \uxxxx isn't the UTF nice?" you will probably have to allocate. If source is read-only you have to allocate

What is the point of this book this early? Zig is in too much flux. Language is 0.x for a reason. Just to gauge interest?

Limits are more important than implied. Language benchmarks, computer game performance.

It's a bold strategy - let's see if it works out for them. But from what I remember, this still uses the LLVM backend, right? Sure, you can beat LLVM on compilation speed and number of platforms supported, but when it comes to emi

Because it's an extremely subjective, extremely superficial statement that does more FUD than it explains.

Most likely nothing. No one knows. As someone that was very gung ho on autonomous vehicles a decade ago, the chances of completely replacing people with AI in next ten years is small.

Servo has to interact a lot with a JS runtime, and it needs to be done in a thread safe and concurrent manner. Plus the html processing needs to be Arc as well, so that tracks.

Nah. Just learn to think like it.

I'm not an idiot either. But past and future me get to be idiots from time to time. Alcohol and lack of sleep are a helluva mind cripplers.

Yeah, and Java was always corporately funded, and to my knowledge no one really used neither the http client nor the XML parser. You basically have a collection of dead weight libs, that people have to begrudgingly maintain. Granted some (J

You have 30 items you bought from various stores. You bought ~20 from yourself, around 5 from Google, 4 from hsivonen and one from servo. You could of course investigate individuals commits, but that's probably an overkill.

by Ygg2 1y ago
Yeah. You have dev dependencies in there, those alone will increase number of dependencies by ~500, without ending up in the final product. Those numbers are way off their actual number.
