No, you’re definitely right. I’m not sure where the author of this article got the idea that Lebanese citizens are in any way “turning to cryptocurrency”. Most blanket statements about losing faith in banks and whatnot come from a Mark Iska

I believe it’s supposed to be like a shell variable, which are prefixed with “$”.

For example, my laptop ( https://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c07686423 I think) has a taskbar icon for the touchpad and a taskbar icon for the AMD graphics. Neither of those things are custom parts, just default

I hope this isn’t incorrect, but I recall Drew once saying he didn’t want people to make variations of the language by forking the compiler and changing a page or two of the spec, since that would result in slightly incompatible code.

How do you guys handle using other libraries? Everything I can see uses stuff like std::vector and the like at API boundaries, and I'm not aware of a way to construct an std::vector without throwing an exception.

I mean, the standard way to do IO in C++ involves spamming the left shift operator (<<), I can only assume because it looks like an arrow? This is definitely a shallow thing, but I'd argue that for this single reason operator ove

Companies will use whatever is at their disposal to grow faster and more efficiently, this is the free market working as intended (and isn't a bad thing by itself: see free software companies like SourceHut benefiting as well). I think

It's always a pleasure seeing your comments when it comes to language design. I noticed the spec currently says that _Atomic is ignored. Is that a current limitation of the implementation, or is it not planned to ever be implemented? I

I believe it's up to the programmer to implement this. Here's some code from the zig github[1] page that illustrates how it might look once zig is stable (this is from an issue). pub fn write(file: *File, bytes: []const u8) us

Maybe as a joke they could call it D since that's the letter after C...

I remember reading something particularly negative about terra in 2019[1]. Although I haven’t used terra at all since the time I first tried it (not long after I read the above mentioned article), I think it’s relevant to mention that at le

Wow that’s really convenient. I was just thinking of how nice it would be to have that feature literally hours ago while working on a side project involving a lot of D/C interop. Major props to Walter and the rest of the D developers f

I agree. Although for most tasks I tend to prefer having a command line interface, just because of things like programmability and my typing speed, I'd be lying to go as far as to say the CLI is _always_ the best way to do something. F

Rather than "Source Code is Worthless", I find it makes more sense to think of the lesson learned here as "Source Code is Only Worth Something to the Public if it's Well Documented and Stable", which happens to be t
