Unfortunately, seems the only way to figure this out is by testing. But on the flip, nobody can really trust that it won't accidentally or purposefully escape from labs.

Drones that sound like, act like, or maybe look like whales, might be the answer. If the adversary can't tell if its a whale or drone, likely to force them to waste a lot of resources and/or ammunition.

Odin appears to only recently have been pressing the claim of Go alternative, as a new direction in its marketing hype. There are Go and Pascal influences, but Odin is arguably much more similar to and an alternative of Jai[1][2] (from Jon

Reading the history, and a bunch of it is actually on HN (going back to 2019) and online (including YouTube), the truth of it seems different or it can be viewed differently, in regards to the V Programming Language. V started from a former

Good points. The Chinese are giving themselves more options, while other countries or persons pointing the finger, have less or are purposefully limiting their options.

Zig has been around for 9 years, and it looks like 1.0 is not even in the cards. Seeing a lot of flux, with lots of unresolved issues (per its GitHub).

This is a good explanation of the method behind the madness. The manipulated results are for steering people to what they want to serve them. Clicking on their ads or corporate preferences. The problem appears to be it's hard for them

It's amazing that Microsoft even needs to stoop to that level against their own paying customers. People either like Edge and Bing, or they don't. Often, people are forced to use Windows, relative to office, jobs, or school. There

Agree with you. Problem is more about poor results and lack of good alternatives.

My take on what the author was getting at, is how Google's manipulation of its algorithm has led to poor results and backfired on them. Not just for the users of its search engine, but small businesses counting on being discovered that

Actually, a number of modern languages have addressed this. A few of them are: Dart, Rust, and Vlang. However, many of the newer languages seem to address or handle null (nil) safety, a bit differently from each other. In Dart[1] and Vlang[

More than just Swift has been influenced by various ideas in Rust. Zig and Vlang are among such other newer, easier, modern features having and somewhat safer languages who claim and show influence. Languages like Golang, can make a good ar

Technically, if you read the origin story around Golang, it was made to be an alternative to C++. Some departments at Google were going crazy with a myriad of problems involving using C++, so wanted something less troublesome and easier to

V (vlang.io), Jai, and more WASM. Fun to try a bit different (not too far out and are Go and C alternatives), that also are languages with some potential, and not get trapped in the corporate usual (C# and JavaScript, looking at you). 2025,

For the Python people, it seems a matter of habit and culture. When a person has gone down a certain direction for so long, it can be really hard to change. Think that's why it is a good idea to be exposed to other languages earlier on

For a more corporate driven and controlled language, once it goes down a certain direction, it appears really hard for it to stop the train or get enough momentum to change directions. Easy examples are generics, enums, sum types, etc... Th

I've noticed that many people make this mistake with Go and other languages that use MRV (multiple return values). It seems that people who come from a language with tuples have a hard time dealing with the difference or realizing they

What is quite interesting (after looking at their documentation), is that V lang[1] has all that is mentioned: `?`[2], `or`[2], sum types[3], and can return multiple values[4]. [1]: https://vlang.io/ [2]: https:/&#x2F

Microsoft's definition of unsupported or incompatible hardware appears perfectly aligned with forcing users to buy new PCs. In fact, it seems most of their requirements, are about more profit for themselves and partners, regardless of

One of the best ways for a developer to plead their case for using their language, is to have a book written about it. That's where to teach people how to use the language, show in code the advantages of using it, and elaborate in deta

Arguably the reason why Odin has no or less Googleability, is it has no Wikipedia page, no books on Amazon, and few third party code examples at known places for programming enthusiasts. For any language to be taken seriously, their develop

Don't quite understand the logic behind this. Odin does not even have a Wikipedia page or a book on Amazon. It seems that anyone that would like Odin, would instead like or prefer Jai. In fact, Odin was heavily influenced by and copied
