Those schemes that attempt to bypass usury by calling it something else are not Islamic. Many scholars have called them out. Proper Islamic finance involves risk from both parties. E.g. one party provides funding, the other provides labor,

Java is way more expressive and better designed than golang. So no, golang is not Java with less memory. It's also possible to deploy Java as a single JAR file.

.NET isn't slower than golang, and in fact, can be faster.

This shortcoming of golang really shows when writing non trivial programs.

Of course you can steal it, and it's unethical and should be punishable. Not sure what planet we live on here.

Naming plays a big role. "Autopilot" implies something that people might not fully comprehend.

Same with private cryptocurrency keys. Otherwise, accessing non-public APIs with weak security by playing around with the URL would be legal.

That's not an argument. In any case, more and more governments are now recognizing crypto as something real, and are coming onboard. E.g. most recently Dubai.

Not true. It's trivial to spread immorality and normalize it which would lead to risky sexual behavior. We're literally living through it now. Just look at how things slid in the past 100 years on that front.

It's not a tautology. We can observe the effects of spreading deviancy and immorality over time very accurately.

I didn't claim that terse is always more readable. It was in the example I gave, and practically every golang program could be written in a more terse, more readable, and less error prone way in Python/Java/C#/etc.

It was obvious to anyone with an iota of critical thinking that it was not transitory. The way the government just printed billions of dollars was bound to result in inflation.

It's not surprising that the code base grew when reimplemented in golang. It would have probably been even shorter had it been rewritten in Python itself. Just the other day, I was able to condense over 15 lines of golang code into 3 l
