Since interop is such a big design goal I wonder if fn was chosen after analyzing the impact of alternative keywords present in large c++ code based that would impact interop in a negative way (eg requiring more escaping).

Optimizing struct layouts is cool. but if your motivation is to pack more monsters in your game definitely consider transposing your row oriented monster struct into a column oriented entity using Entity Component System. Example framework:

A whole separate register? That is quite expensive. Obviously you need to physically add the register to the chip. After that the real work comes. You need to change your ISA to make the register addressible by machine code. Pdp11 had 8 gen

Typed try/catch was tried in Java. The typing was not well liked and people voted with their feet to untyped exceptions. Euphoria turned to misery and golang emerged with returning errors explicitly. Overall I would say that the retur

Implicit parameter smuggling by any mechanism is just too much magic in my experience. Golang's context.Context solves the same problem, but explicitly in a way that has been widely adopted through their language ecosystem. That said -

Calling setsid in pre_exec isn't exactly correct, you'd do this to daemonize a process in order to prevent it from getting signals from the process which spawned you exited or its terminal disconnected. If you read exit(3) you&#x2

Normally I'd stay away from job control posix APIs - but since HyperQueue is a job control system, it might be appropriate if the worker was a session leader. If it dies than all its subprocesses would receive SIGHUP - which is fatal b

So it is fine for OpenAI to train on data from artists and other creators who don't want their works used that way and are also hurt by AI making copycat works.... But it is bad when another AI company does the same. This is the weakes

Files exist in a different universe of abstractions from language features. Heck a language should work in a universe where files don't exist at all. A file is a stream of bytes that a process can get by giving the os a string (name) t

There exists a ton of working code that does not fiddle with setenv and now would have memory leaks if they don't change their code? Plus I would now need to test if my stdlib requires freeing memory or not because if I try to free on

Yes the proper way to do that is execve, not by changing global variables in your parent process. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execve.2.html Using setenv is mostly always a hack that relies on a bunc
