Avoid cache line ping-pong, don't waste cache, and make accesses as spatially predictable as possible. Okay, I can see where you're coming from, thanks.

Microsoft owns github so draw your own conclusions on whether that's true and how long it will last if it is.

Um? Here in the UK it's uncommon to hear it these days but it carries no special weight. How come you're unwilling to spell the word bitch?

Pretty unhelpful response. Okay I'll answer for you, yes you have. That means that mutability is an acceptable solution at the right time. (edit: replaced dumb with unhelpful)

OK, how about x <- x + 1; (BTW be careful about assuming you're the brightest guy in the room, how others "struggle to even see" when you do, and with such clarity)

Ex-Delphi code here, and I have to loudly disagree about Pascal being expressive (at least in the context of more modern languages). But I was, and remain, very fond of it. (to the downvoter: my fave lang is Scala. That's expressive)
