Well, it's true that most of the noise comes from deallocation but I did mention types for good reasons: having your code littered with std::shared_ptr (or worse for Rust where encoding lifetime goes much further than Rc/Arc) is a

GC's strength is not only in the ease of writing but at also reading, since you don't need to interleave allocation and business logic everywhere (be it through types or imperative code). GC simply is the only way to approach the

Even if we're still far from the golden age, Dandadan (Science SARU; though I've heard the sheer effort bankrupted them) and the recent Witch Hat Atelier (Bug Films) are quite nice to behold. Some modern romcoms like Kaguya-s

Or they could just ask granddaddy for advice: (cond (cond1 res1) (cond2 res2) (cond3 res3) (t else_res)) =)

You underestimate how poorly optimized Android (both the OS and ecosystem) is.

Huh, if this is what we're talking about, I think Starship Troopers may qualify.

Thanks a lot, that's a very interesting way of seeing it.

Same here, M2 MBP. Got it in that state because it woke up after I stored it. Macs have some of these problems too, just less.

Common Lisp didn't grow into its warts, though, it was intentionally a "Common" Lisp. A compromise, like I wrote.

Eh, the thing with generics coming late is pretty much what I meant by "organically grown". My best litmus test these days is support for multidimensional arrays because it's always needed at some point in general purpose lan

Did the same once and I am still pretty ashamed; I must have been in a bad mood or something. I remember asking this guy who just got out of university to explain what "volatile" means in C.

by a-french-anon 5mo ago
Maybe, but personally I've become quite tired of programming languages "organically grown" as opposed to properly designed the first time. After a good decade of C then C++, I found ANSI CL (despite being a massive compromise

Mastodon isn't sludge in any way, mate... sludge is hardcore punk + (proto) doom metal. It's what the Melvins, the B-side of Black Flags's My War and early Flippers spawned, so mostly the NOLA scene (Eyehategod, Crowbar, Down

How about one line of POSIX sh with cpp? Though it uses the different approach of SSI instead of templating: $ cat <<EOF | sed -E 's/^[\t ]*$/\1/; t; s/^/\a/' | cpp -tradit

If you want to go further, the HAMT designed by Bagwell was apparently improved upon by Steindorfer to give CHAMP. See this FSet MR and the paper link within for more: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/fset/fset/-&#x2

We still can't compete with Bethesda on that front, though...

Well, yeah, but Git is basically UNIX/POSIX or JPEG. Good enough to always win against better like Plan 9 or JPEG XL (though I think this one may win in the long term).

Not necessarily, but let's agree that some design faults would happen: you still get the option to use the solid, boring and slightly rusty std instead of another 100 dependencies from the supply chain supermarket. At work, we're

Why wouldn't the "fat std" thing work? Yes it's hard to design properly, both in scope and actual design (especially for an unstandardized language still moving fast), but throwing the towel and punting the problem to th

I'd suggest `pwd -P` to resolve symlinks too. (if you use DIR to call/source neighbouring scripts).

If you want more ammo for your ranting (no offense meant, I also rant): an issue as massive as https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/142308 lingering for years should do the trick.

Strong agree, this falls squarely into the bad part of the automagical category for me; a terse lambda syntax makes it quite unnecessary anyway.

Kinda a moot point in my eyes because I very much doubt you can arrive at the same result without the same learning process.
