I'm surprised that you put Go in the latter group and not in the same group as Rust and C/C++. What features of Go disqualify it as a systems programming language?

That's certainly true but how often do you really go to the bookstore in search of this thrill? The keyword here is "browsing". That's better done at a physical bookstore than online. But it's much more efficient

You don't need to build a stable culture for a galaxy wide colonisation. We colonized the whole planet without that. Likewise a locust-like swarm of colonizing ships without any central control or common culture would also be a possibi

I agree that the date 476 CE was probably not as much of a devastating blow to the Roman empire and their contemporary population as it was made out to be later. But in those 324 years a lot happened that make the case of a direct lineage q
