Go already has code generation built into the standard tooling. It also has reflection which is arguably worse because the generated code is totally opaque. Good macros would cover most of the uses cases for the tools in a more cohesive and

Most go data is value types that can be assumed to be on the stack, unless you introduce a pointer explicitly or use one of the referenceish types like interface, string, array or map. Its very easy for both the programmer and the compiler

Even if its not just "mutable" state there are a lot of undesirable situations for multiple package imports in rust: 1. Singletonish things like global allocators, rayon-core, etc 2. You may have made a package static safe to muta

It does. There are ways to mark a package as "only once" in the dep graph. For instance, C libraries are required to be marked in this way. The only once constraint also has a nice out for the SAT solver, if you reach a conflict o

Not very the parts that make it NP hard are allowing libraries to specify maximum versions (and other more complex version ranges). Most of the time libraries use minimum constraints (~) or (^) which allows the heuristic to work like go&#x2

This is a more accurate description. The hashing algorithm is 100% deterministic, but the inputs include a random seed from the start of the program to prevent various side channel attacks and to prevent folks from erroneously relying on ha

The hashing algorithm can be deterministic however hashing relies on a seed. In most cases you want that to be random to prevent certain side channel attacks. For swift, hashing will be deterministic for the lifetime of the program.

The equivalent is doing more dead code analysis at the MIR stage before sending it to llvm. This is where rustc loses most of its perf. LLVM is usually 50-60% of execution time, mostly because rust sends teams of ir to chew through.

Rust doesn't have iterator invalidation issues or "ConcurrentAccessException" which are very nice for writing highly concurrent code at large scales. Throw in niceties like no null, result types for better error typing, and a

That’s already a property of rust errors. If a function errors you can’t use its return value until you handle the error some way either explicitly, forward it with the ? operator, or unwrap it indicating an unrecoverable error.
