Probably because must “emulation” is more like “transpilation” these days - there is a hit up front to translate into native instructions, but they are then cached and repeatedly executed like any other native instructions.

I would respectfully disagree with most of what you said. I guess individual perspective depends a lot on the kinds of code you work on. The point about being explicitly part of the API stands, though.

Sure, but the same is true of any error handling strategy. When you work with exceptions, the key is to assume that every line can throw unless proven otherwise, which in practice means almost all lines of code can throw. Once you adopt tha

Safe things should be easy, dangerous things should be hard. This .unwrap() sounds too easy for what it does, certainly much easier than having an entire try..catch block with an explicit panic. Full disclosure: I don't actually know R

> Exceptions force a panic on all errors What do you mean? Exceptions do not force panic at all. In most practical situations, an exception unhandled close to where it was thrown will eventually get logged. It's kind of a "loca

> But I haven't used source generators in C# in at least 10 years Source generators didn't exist in C# 10 years ago. You probably had something else in mind?

Some examples: - Attributes can do a lot of magic that is not always obvious or well documented. - ASP.NET pipeline. - Source generators. I love C#, but I have to admit we could have done with less “magic” in cases like these.

“Running 4 SQL queries in parallel” is not thread-safe if done in separate transactions, and on data that is not read-only. If some other transaction commits at just the wrong time, it could change the result of some of these queries but no

I think React can be approached a little like JavaScript at this point: just use the good parts! In my case that means using it as a rendering library and component composer, but not for managing state or side-effects.
