I don’t think your solution works. It will make sure the pointer is never null (assuming these back pointers are !Sync) sure, but rust guarantees far more that that. Each ownership type (value, &, &mut) is a capability, it very impo

It’s not. But it’s not in the current tool. And as this article devoted a long section to why they’re not required for reproducibility I suspect the go team isn’t planning on added one. It’s especially important to give this feedback early

vgo will guarantee that you only receive a single resolved minor version for any given major of a package. Each major will be imported as a different name, e.g. `import “registry.io/my/pkg”` for v1, `import “registry.io/my&#

That’s untrue. You will only be able import the library once and that version will be common across your all of your dependencies. Only major version breaks change this equation, but as explained in the third article those imports will have

I still remain unconvinced at the lack of lockfiles. I’m in complete agreement with rsc the minimum version algorithm produces more reliable builds, ie version selection is deterministic. However, lockfiles do more than select versions dete

I like this quiet a lot, it fits very nicely in the go stack. Absent this article is a discussion of alternatives to renaming. Reading the article would hint that a semver major bump would just leave you high and dry! This is certainly true

`=` deps also are inherently incompatible with libraries, especially in languages like go where you can only have one version of a library in your dependency graph at a time. e.g. if my library depends on foo =0.4.1 and I try to bring in a

These issues all seem to be solved by lockfiles, which are a part of the dep tool. Why ditch them here? It seems like rsc seems to be hinting at an argument for simplicity. But the long history of package managers, and my anecdotal experien

Teams is a joke. It’s an alpha level product at best. At worst it’s black hole on the user voice forums for features that were in IRC and a constant memory leak. The vscode team needs to teach the teams team how to properly write an electro

Absolutely, but its arguably 10 years too late. Node has already eaten python's lunch in the server space. To get your existing python code working on async you may basically need a full rewrite including any libraries that you pulled

You also have to factor in familiarity, ie does it make sense for a dentist to pick up a new tool with slightly better outcomes if they’re going to make more mistakes while they learn on it?

Yes. What the statistic we're seeing here is that women who divorce their spouse are twice as likely to victims of domestic abuse. Is that really a stretch?
