Oh wow... That's actually really fast progress all things considered. Well done! I really hope all the... umm... misunderstandings get worked out because you're doing great work.

Not sure what point you're making here. WinBtrfs is a driver for the same btrfs filesystem that Linux uses. It's most common use case is reading the Linux partitions in Windows on machines that dual-boot both operating systems

Yeah, maybe. Like I said you have some good points to make. However, using the word "history" in a way different to historians is not going to uncover any blind spots.

Their point is that hunter-gatherers or subsistence farmers have no use for a writing system. A complex urban society does.

The Cork campus is a significant support and administration hub. Apple's corporate structure in Ireland is designed around leveraging tax law to its advantage. It's unclear how much the former depends on the latter.

My understanding of the post I was replying to was that the compatibility issues were due to different versions of Linux having different clang versions. If I've understood correctly then Docker is highly likely to be a good solution.

I find the developer experience is quite different. Which is actually quite important. In the async runtimes I am familiar with I find managing shared resources and locking much easier. But maybe I'm missing something here. Do you know

You're talking about Ken Thompson, Rob Pike and Robert Griesemers, among others. You're not doing yourself any favors.

There's plenty of complex programming languages out there. Some are worth putting the time into. If you can program well in some other language you can get your head around Rust - give it some time - it's worth it.

No one said they are complete idiots. They made a deliberate decision to design a language that did not take many developments in PL design since the 70's into account. They had their reasons, which make sense in the context of their e
