This might be an out-of-nowhere question, but seeing how we're discussing Rob Pike and Plan 9 here, why does Plan 9's rc shell need the $path variable, when you could just bind all binary directories onto or behind /bin/

It is available. At least https://build.golang.org/ lists plan9/arm as one of builders. Interestingly enough, the source code build help page[1] doesn't list plan9/arm as a valid build target. EDIT: There is

>Ahm, Rust is much worse than SPARK in case of covering errors, and its runtime overhead is no less than that of Ada. Can you elaborate? It's not often that they see valid critiques of Rust on HN, and it would be interesting (to me

dbg! looks neat. It made me wonder if any of the statically typed compiled languages have an equivalent of Ruby's binding.pry or JS's debugger call? That is, something like x = foo(); invoke_debugger(); // An inter

This is an unpopular choice, but I have recently switched all my terminals to the Go Fonts[1], and I couldn't be happier. Those who say that only sans-serif fonts belong in a terminal have been lying to me this whole time. [1] https:&

I've always wanted to know the answer from someone who actually implemented a VM: Why do people prefer stack-based VMs over register-based? They are obviously a simpler design, but register-based designs are closer to the actual machin

They show the “type-safe printf” example there, but they don't seem to explain anywhere, if I can write my own type-safe variadic function or not. Is printf a built-in that is built with magic not allowed for mere mortals or do they ju

A genuine question. What is a highly needed feature that GNU Make have that you can't do with POSIX Make? My personal pet peeve with POSIX Make is that you can't export an environment variable for one target only without calling

Go doesn't have a stable ABI, AFAIK, so what (probably) actually going to happen is that the same Go 2 compiler will compile both Go 1 and Go 2 packages using the same runtime.

I am as confused as you are. The C version is much slower on my PC. I've added the link to the code above. Please tell me if you see something fishy.
