Too powerful? Or just ab/mis-used?

I don't think implicit's were a wart, and AFAIK in Scala 3 implicits effectively still exist but with a different syntax (but not touched it for a while, so may be wrong)

Oh yeah? I recently discovered that the Teak tree is of the Mint family (Lamiales) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teak (take that, redwoods).

Original Pascal was a teaching language. That's all.

OK, so please show me those discussions and change my mind.

This is a nasty comment, and lacks any references to those github PR discussions. It comes across very much as somebody who has no experience in managing even halfway large projects. I've been writing a compiler and I put in a lot of

Maybe, maybe not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpropagation#History It's odd how blatantly simple stuff can be so difficult for even experts to see sometimes.

Regarding your last paragraph, interesting idea about the compiler doing the work, but isn't RPC/serdes basically built into CORBA or OLE transparently? Never used the former, and the latter was so long ago I forgotten it, but I t

OMG - that train actually existed ?? I had no idea. I'd have assumed it CGI or a prop. Amazing, thanks

Unlike you I have less than no background in this, most especially in aero, but if the faults were as basic as you've described, that would be not failure but outright engineering negligence.

I believe I've addressed your criticisms. I'd be interested in your reply.

I'd be really surprised if it was just one loose bolt that would allow this to happen, but I don't know. It would be hard to believe they were that stupid, so I'd rather not assume.

Reasonable speculation is reasonable. Supposing that belly buttons exists so we could store lint in them is not reasonable. It may well be that we have opposable thumbs to handle tools better. I can't prove it, you can't disprove

Maybe only in the last few hundreds of thousands of years. Pre that, AFAIK we were a prey species. Sans spears etc. we're not too hot.

Actually design is not hard, it's mainly common sense and iteration + book learning. Where people go wrong is being unable to leave their ego at the door so they insist their design is right and don't look at the facts.
