Cheat-y in what way? I don't consider micro benchmarks that interesting especially since C# does have two aces that Java will get in mid term - namely Simd and primitive types. The Tech Empower benchmarks do seem to reflect general sta

The last few Spring projects I worked on that used the latest Java, still used Lombok. Records do exist, but you can't or don't want to always use them.

Hack or not, it's been working relatively well for the past decade. But even, if you account for that, the records in Java do most of what Lombok used to do - make class externally immutable, add default `toString`, `equals` and `hashC

That'd be a Sisyphean job. Writing kernel in Rust from scratch, I understand, but this? Please, let this be a joke.

It's not unsafe that causes unsafety, it's how you wield it. - Do you know your invariants? - Have you documented them? - If using unsafe block, have you asserted them or guaranteed that they hold for any input? Granted, Rust is k
